Three years ago, Tiny Away Escape landed on Lazarus Island – sprinkling the island with tiny houses for a comfortable camp out without the grit. Each unit is solar-powered and equipped with composting systems designed for off-grid living, not so far away from home.
Unfortunately, on March 27, Tiny Away Escape announced on Facebook and Instagram that it will be entering its “final chapter”, wrapping up operations by February 2027. This marks the closing of what was essentially Singapore’s first proper attempt at bite-sized island stays.
Launched in May 2023, the cottages were pitched as part of a wider push by Sentosa Development Corporation to give Lazarus Island a glow-up – one that leaned into rustic charm without going full jungle survival. Run by homegrown eco-tourism outfit Big Tiny, the site houses five compact units – think 139 to 167 square feet of minimalist living, starting from $284 a night.
The reason for its closure has not been disclosed. No dramatic farewell either – just a quiet wind-down that feels on-brand for a place built on slowing down.
So if you’ve been meaning to pay Tiny Away Escape a visit, now’s the time. Bookings are open till January 31, 2027, and can be made here.
