Book now and snag some staycation deals for the year ahead! Not sure where to stay? Here’s a list of great family staycation spots. The brood will be kept happy and entertained, and you’ll have a change of scenery!
#1 Hotel Michael
Hotel Michael at Resorts World Sentosa is a great place to stay to enjoy the island’s popular attractions, including Universal Studios and Adventure Cove Waterpark. The hotel has a variety of comfy room types that work well for a family staycation. You can opt for the Two-Bedroom Deluxe Suite, which sleeps up to four adults and four children (below 12). After a day out, pop downstairs for hearty Italian dishes at Pizzeria or Cantonese fare at TungLok Heen.
If you prefer to head out, plenty of entertainment and dining options are walking distance away. The property is also linked to the Sentosa monorail; that means you can easily travel to other parts of the island or to VivoCity. If you want some time to yourself, and they’re old enough..drop the children off at Resorts World Sentosa Kids Club where children can enjoy fun kids’ activities including crafts and games.
How much: From $315 per night (weekday rates)
#2 The Fullerton Hotel
If you’ve always wanted to stay at The Fullerton, a Singapore icon, now’s the time! You’ll be glad to know that kids stay free (one child aged 11 and below when using the beds provided). There are many types of rooms and suites to choose from, from those overlooking the courtyard to others with views of Marina Bay.
Guests can take part in the hotel’s family-friendly activities – and some are free! There’s daily fish feeding at the koi pond (5pm to 5.10pm) and visits to the Fullerton Farm to check out fruit, plants and herbs (Tuesday and Friday, until 30 December 2020). Guests can also book a vintage vespa sidecar ride. Or, if you’re staying with little foodies, make them feel grown up by having afternoon tea at The Courtyard. You won’t be far from Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, too, so you could head there for the day.
How much: From $424 per night (weekday rates)
#3 Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel
For those who enjoy the hustle and bustle of Orchard Road, an excellent family staycation option is Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel.

The hotel itself has a couple of great dining spots; from local and international fare at Crossroads to Chinese cuisine at Wan Hao. Room-wise, guests can pick from a selection of modern rooms and suites, including those with pool access (what kid wouldn’t love that?).
