Best short breaks from Singapore

17th February 2021 by Expat Living 10 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/best-short-breaks-from-singapore-most-popular-places-to-visit-by-country-and-destination/

One more reason to love living here is the access to the fabulous short break destinations in Asia – whether it’s shopping, surfing or sightseeing you’re after.  In some cases, you won’t even need time off from work – a regular weekend will do. But, there are plenty of public holidays in Singapore if you need a long weekend! There are some gorgeous resorts near Singapore with a beach that are only a ferry or short flight away. Here are some popular destinations for expats (villas, hotels and resorts). Check them out now so you’re all ready to go once leisure travel is back on track.

Malaysia

Right on Singapore’s doorstep, Malaysia has plenty to offer as a holiday destination: beautiful beaches, historical towns and delicious food. Across the causeway, Johor Bahru (“JB”) can be good for the occasional shopping and eating experience (get there by car, taxi or bus). Kids will love Legoland here too, which is barely an hour’s drive from home.  For public holidays in Singapore, the roads can be crazy – with long wait times at the borders too.

The Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur has areas of historical and cultural interest, fabulous views from the Petronas Towers, and buzzing nightlife in Bangsar. The nearby Batu Caves are worth visiting.

For beaches, Langkawi off the peninsular west coast and Perhentian and Redang islands off the east coast are among the highlights. Tioman, Sibu and Rawa are close to Singapore. Kota Kinabalu in Borneo (East Malaysia) is a stepping-stone to Mabul and Sipadan.

Elsewhere, Penang and Malacca hit the spot for history; Taman Negara has the world’s oldest rainforest; the Cameron Highlands and tea plantations are located on the spine of the peninsula; and don’t forget the Orangutans in Sabah.

Resorts near Singapore with a beach – Desaru Coast 

Anantara Desaru Coast Resort and Villas pool villa short breaks
Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas One-Bedroom Lagoon Pool Villa

For a fun short break from Singapore, head to South Malaysia’s Desaru Coast. It’s not difficult to reach – just a 90-minute drive or a 30-minute ferry and shuttle ride away. What’s more, a direct ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore to Desaru Coast will be available later this year. The beachfront destination is home to great resorts and hotels, including Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast, The Westin Desaru Coast Resort, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas and One&Only Desaru Coast. And all properties have taken on safety measures for the wellbeing of guests, including contactless check-in, room entry and contactless menus in restaurants.  They’re all perfect for a weekend away!

Things to do

  • Have a blast at Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark; it’s got something for all ages, from slides and water coasters to a wave pool and lazy river.
  • Besides enjoying kayaking, surfing and beach sports, you can explore the area with visits to Tanjung Belungkor mangroves, Desaru Fruit Farm and Panti Forest Reserve.
  • Go golfing at The Els Club Desaru (yes, Els as in former world number one golfer Ernie Els!); enjoy gorgeous coastal views as you take on the 27-hole Ocean Course.

Resorts for nature reserves and fab scenery – Cove 55

Cove 55 resort Sarawak bird's-eye view

Enjoy a peaceful retreat at Cove 55, a boutique resort at the foot of Mount Santubong in Sarawak. The seafront property is a scenic 40-minute ride from Kuching airport, which itself is a short flight from Singapore. Overlooking the South China Sea, the hotel has various rooms to choose from, including ones with balconies and private courtyards. There are also spacious suite rooms that are perfect for families – they each come with a luxurious king bed and a double sleeper sofa. Guests can enjoy quality amenities including a rainshower and toiletries from Acqua Di Colonia. The hotel also houses a gym and library, and it organises sunrise and sunset yoga sessions. Use one of the long weekend public holidays in Singapore to reach this cool destination.

Things to do

  • Have a dip in the 30-metre saltwater infinity pool or enjoy a leisurely lounge with a drink from Cove Bar.
  • Look forward to meals whipped up using fresh organic produce and herbs from Chef’s Garden, the resort’s kitchen garden. At Kechala, dig into modern cuisine made from local ingredients.
  • Head to Semmengoh Nature Reserve where you can spot Orangutans, hike up Mount Santubong or visit national parks and villages close by.

Indonesia

There are an estimated 17,508 islands in Indonesia, of which only about 6,000 are inhabited. The main islands are Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Irian Jaya and, last but not least, Java, home to 70 percent of the country’s population.

For a relaxing beach holiday any weekend there are plenty of resorts less than an hour away by ferry at the islands of Bintan and Batam or some of the smaller islands off them such as Telunas.

Elsewhere in Indo, head to Bali for beaches, terraced rice paddies, temples, ruins and jungle walks. Luxury villas can be very reasonable if you are sharing with a group of friends or family. After one visit you’ll soon see why Balinese food and hospitality is a favourite for Singapore-based expats.

Lombok is making a name for itself as “the Bali of 20 years ago” while the nearby Gili Islands are an idyllic hideaway. Perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling enthusiasts, Manado boasts stunning scenery and volcanoes.

Family resort near Singapore with a beach – Telunas Private Island

Telunas Private Island aerial view

No airports are involved in getting to this resort near Singapore.  Telunas Private Island is a leisurely boat ride from Batam (itself only an hour by boat from Singapore); sip on a cold drink or two and you’ll be there in no time! The resort’s overwater rustic villas house a sitting room, bedroom, cosy loft and private veranda. Guests can indulge in a mix of delicious Western, Asian, and Indonesian cuisine whipped up by the resort’s executive chef at the Grand Lodge, located just down the wooden jetty. A perfect option for a romantic getaway or a short break with kids.

Things to do

  • Make the most of the sunny days by taking part in any number of complimentary activities, including mangrove kayaking, a waterfall hike and stand-up paddle boarding.
  • Relax by the vibrant poolside Sand Bar that serves everything from Long Island Iced Teas to mocktails (which the kids will love!), while you enjoy the unblocked sea views.
  • Pamper yourself with a spa session in one of the overwater pavilions or in the privacy of your villa.

To book your stay, visit the resort’s website or call 811 7710951 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).

Thailand

Colourful but busy Bangkok has amazing food, fabulous temples, numerous markets and malls, and interesting nightlife. Not far away are the stunning temples of Ayuthaya which are best seen by bicycle.

For a beach holiday less than two hours away from Singapore by air, visit Phuket, Koh Samui or Krabi and take a boat trip around the breathtaking Ao Phang Nga National Park. Up north, a jungle adventure involving elephants, teak forests and numerous hill tribes awaits you in the Golden Triangle’s Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.

Sports and spa at this resort near Singapore – COMO Point Yamu

COMO Point Yamu Point Yamu Villa Terrace

It’s not just the awesome views of the Andaman Sea you’ll enjoy when you stay at COMO Point Yamu in Phuket. The resort is located on Cape Yamu, a serene peninsula on the Thai island’s east coast, away from the busiest tourist areas. Overlooking Phang Nga Bay, the hotel’s contemporary rooms, suites and villas are the work of Italian designer Paola Navone, and they perfectly reflect the property’s seaside setting.

Things to do

  • Dig into hearty Italian-inspired dishes at La Sirena or go local at Nahmyaa that serves Southern Thai cuisine.
  • At COMO Shambhala Retreat, take your pick from a wide range of holistic treatments and therapies in beautiful mosaic-tiled rooms overlooking the sea.
  • If you want to head out and enjoy nature, there are hiking, yoga and watersports options available. Or, spend the day at COMO Beach Club on Naka Island (40-minute transfer), where you can chill by the restaurant and pool, while the kids are kept entertained at the Play by COMO activity centre.

Kids activities and more – InterContinental Koh Samui Resort

Travel-family-koh-samui-thailand-intercontinental-baan-taling-ngam-resort

Cooking Classes with a sea view – The Pavilions Phuket

The Pavilions Phuket ocean view villa

The resort houses private pool villas and spacious suites. Guests can enjoy gourmet eats at the two signature restaurants, The Plantation Club and Firefly; then, as the sun sets, head to 360 Bar for drinks and panoramic views.

Things to do

  • Choose from traditional Thai healing therapies and soothing Western rituals at the spa.

  • Lounge by the lap pool or work up a sweat at the fitness centre.

Vietnam

Cruise along the Mekong Delta and visit the astonishing Cu Chi tunnels just outside Ho Chi Minh City for a reminder of the war years.

In the north, soak up the colonial French atmosphere of Hanoi, then leave the city for a boat trip around picturesque Halong Bay. The middle of the country boasts culturally significant Hue and the photogenic, sleepy Hoi An, a must-visit for a step back in time. The rural area around Sapa, in the northwest, is highly recommended as a destination for everything from village retreats to rugged cycling trips. Do yourself a favour and take a cooking lesson; you’ll bring your holiday experience home.

Historic Tours and a Kids Club – Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort

Melia Ho Tram pool cabana

Opened in 2019, Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort in Vietnam is a seaside getaway located southeast of Ho Chi Minh City. Enjoy stunning ocean views and take your pick from the resort’s wide range of rooms, suites and villas. Fancy a private pool? Each of the villas comes with one – plus you can enjoy a floating breakfast in it! For larger groups, there are two- to three-bedroom villas that are spacious enough to house everyone comfortably.

Things to do

  • Chill at Breeza Beach Club and enjoy a drink or two at the cocktail bar. You can even try your hand at whipping up your own cocktails at a mixology class!
  • The resort’s Kids Club will also keep little guests busy with a variety of activities, including arts and crafts, fancy dress and painting.
  • Besides treating yourself to a relaxing treatment at YHi Spa or lounging by one of the hotel’s three pools, you can head out on excursions to Vung Tau city, Binh Chau hot springs and other attractions nearby.

Bike rides and massages – Anantara Quy Nhon Villas

Anantara Quy Nhon Villas Hillside Pool Villa

We love the sound of the one- and two-bedroom abodes at Anantara Quy Nhon Villas! Located on Vietnam’s south central coast, this all-villa property comes with infinity-style pools, in-room villa host services, spacious sundecks and oversized bathtubs. You can choose a preferred room scent, enjoy Anantara’s signature natural soap collection, and enjoy the offerings in the in-villa wine cellar and delicatessen, including a selection of charcuterie, cheese and locally-made ice cream. There’s a swim-up bar that’s great for sampling premium cocktails, Vietnamese craft beers and Cuban cigars. And you can tuck into local seafood and regional eats at Sea.Fire.Salt, the resort’s signature restaurant.

Things to do

  • Treat yourself to an Anantara’s signature Dining by Design experience. From picnic-style to fine dining, choose which experience suits your taste.
  • Hop on one of the hotel’s bikes and take a leisurely ride to the villages nearby to explore.
  • Head to the Anantara Spa and enjoy massages and more in the nature-inspired treatment suites.

Laos & Cambodia 

No stay in Asia is complete without a trip to Cambodia’s Siem Reap to see the incredible ruins of Angkor Wat. Phnom Penh is also worth a visit for the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda, and the reminder of the country’s tragic history at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. A three days stay is really needed  to make the most of this. You can also hire ATV’s and head out into the countryside once you’ve seen the temples.

In Laos, visit charming Luang Prabang for its tranquil riverside ambience, beautiful temples, crowds of friendly monks and excellent French fusion cuisine. If you can spare the time, take a cruise on the mighty Mekong.

Now facelifts can be non-surgical and non-invasive which we love.

This facelift in Singapore uses painless High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).

How it works.....
HIFU uses ultrasound technology to reach three different depths of the skin, in order to deliver focused beams of 60 to 70 degrees Celsius without disrupting the skin surface. These beams will melt the fats in the face, while tightening the skin and boosting collagen production; this allows your skin to continually lift and tone after the treatment. 

We thought this was super cool so we tried it out. Read the full review on our stories

Her lifelong passion for healing is the answer – and she hasn’t looked back. Born and raised in Lucknow, India, she knew from the age of three that she wanted to be a doctor. After years of working as a specialist in the fields of gastroenterology, general medicine and gynaecology in leading hospitals in the UK, India and Singapore, she joined the Institute for Functional Medicine in 2012, and established Nutra Nourish here five years ago.

If you’ve spied an Insta-worthy floral arrangement that immediately had you wondering who designed it and where it came from, chances are you were looking at one of the arrangements of The Floral Atelier. 

According to the company’s floral artisans, designing a beautiful bunch of flowers is as much a science as it is an art. That may explain why they say it takes more than just a “good eye” to create their particular arrangements.

The Floral Atelier’s founder LELIAN CHEW is widely regarded as an authoritative figure in luxury events and florals – to the point where she’s been hailed as the “Million Dollar Wedding Planner” on a BBC documentary! Lelian gave us the lowdown about her creative process and how she and the team design their show-stopping products @thefloralatelier.co @lelianchew
