2. Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa – Spa Staycation
We did at staycation at Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa earlier this year and we saw our staycation then as a family oriented one with many facilities that catered to the kids. But with the launch of the Singapore Massage, Chi The Spa at Rasa Sentosa also opened another facet of the hotel, catering to couples who seek a luxurious retreat.
The Singapore Massage is the first of its kind in Singapore which features different massage techniques from the Chinese (use of bamboo sticks to drain away muscle tensions), Malay (progressive massage of the abdomen that promotes lymph drainage – good for circulation and the digestive system) and Indian (elimination of body heat by stimulating foot reflex zones with Indian Kansu bowl) culture.

The themed suites of Hotel Re! @ Pearl’s Hill have been awarded the “Luxury Suite Hotel” at the 2012 World Luxury Hotel Awards. There are Gold, Silver and Bronze themed suites and each suite has its own retro character adorned on the walls such as the James Bond silhouette in the Gold-themed suite. The 35 sqm suites also feature waterbeds and open concept bathrooms for that added class of luxury.

What about a private view of 50,000 marine life right in the comfort of your own room? This is exactly the unique Singapore Staycation that Resorts World Sentosa’s Ocean Suite has to offer.

Besides offering private plunge pools at its 2 bedroom villas, Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa is the first in Singapore to offer a fitness staycation – a health and wellness retreat. During your stay, you’ll not only be offered personal training to tone up those muscles but also specially prepared 3-course healthy cuisine to detoxify your entire system.

Singapore Staycations that Rediscover Local Gems
7. Village Hotel Changi – Changi/Ubin Staycation
A staycation at Village Hotel Changi provides an excellent base to rediscover the gems of Changi. Changi Village and the Changi Village Food Centre are just a stone’s throw away. For a day trip, you can also hop on a ferry (literally 3 minutes away) and visit Pulau Ubin and be transported back in time or enjoy the nature that Chek Jawa has to offer.

8. Village Hotel Katong – Katong/Joo Chiat Staycation
The VH brand has gotten the formula right for staycations in Singapore. With yet another 4 star hotel (Village Hotel Katong) located in the idyllic enclave of Katong, it offers staycationers (is that a new word that we’ve created?!) close proximity to famous food joints in Katong (think 328 Katong Laksa, Ampang Niang Tou Fu, Yong’s Teochew Kueh and Marine Parade Food Centre) as well as the rich heritage and culture (both colonial and peranakan) that the area is famous for.

Hors d’oeuvres are finger foods offered in lounges of hotels.
