More Than a Place.
A Living Kampung.

A short bumboat ride from mainland Singapore takes you somewhere life moves a little differently.

BalikKampung.SG welcomes guests into our family's kampung on Pulau Ubin — a place connected to generations of family memories and Singapore's kampung way of life.

Here, you don't simply hear about kampung life. You experience it.

Cook together.

Eat together.

Work together.

Hear the stories.

Slow down.

Reconnect.

One Kampung. Two Purposes.

Corporate Experiences

Leave the meeting room behind.

Bring your team somewhere genuinely different for a shared experience built around collaboration, resourcefulness, food, laughter and human connection.

Learning Journeys

Heritage becomes the classroom.

Young people discover how earlier generations lived, cooked, played, worked and supported one another through stories, objects, activities and the kampung environment itself.

Why the Kampung

Your team doesn't need another meeting room.

NO WI-FI.

NO AIR-CONDITIONING.

NO PRESENTATION SLIDES.

Just people, place and the kind of connection that lasts beyond the day.

The most memorable team experiences rarely happen around a boardroom table.

At our family kampung on Pulau Ubin, the familiar distractions fall away.

Teams cook together, solve challenges together, share a communal meal and discover what collaboration feels like when it is stripped back to its essentials.

Our Story

Some Places Tell History.
Ours Lived It.

This isn't a kampung recreated for visitors.

It is part of our family's story.

Our connection to this place stretches across generations — a place where family members lived, grew up, gathered and made memories, and where our family continues to return today.

BalikKampung.SG was created to give the kampung a meaningful future: to preserve its character, document its stories and carefully share the experience with others.

A kampung shouldn't survive only in photographs.

Preserve the kampung.

Share its stories.

Connect generations.

Kampung Values

Old Values.
Still Relevant Today.

Gotong-Royong

Working together.

Community

Looking out for one another.

Resourcefulness

Making the most of what we have.

Simplicity

Remembering what is enough.

Connection

Making time for people.

These aren't corporate values invented in a meeting room. They are lessons people once lived every day.
