The verdict

For most travellers, the choice comes down to what kind of week you're really after. Singapore leans city + family, while Croatia leans beach + cultural. Croatia wins on value (~$120/day mid-range vs $170/day in Singapore), but Singapore tends to deliver a more polished, higher-spend experience. Neither is wrong — pick by personality, not by ranking.

Pick Singapore if…

You want family travellers, food obsessives, and stopover layovers, you're drawn to city and family experiences, and you're happy with a 19h flight from the US.

Pick Croatia if…

You want sailors, photographers, and travellers chasing game-of-thrones backdrops, you're drawn to beach and cultural experiences, and you're happy with a 10h flight from the US.
