We don’t usually associate staycations with affordability. After all, the whole idea is to indulge in a luxurious hotel stay, right? Yet it’s still possible to treat your significant other to a dreamy getaway without burning a hole in your pocket, with these six staycation options that all come under the $250++ mark. Plus, SAFRA members enjoy extra discounts and perks!
1. Holiday Inn Singapore Little India
Spice up your relationship with a vibrant staycation (from $191++) at Holiday Inn Singapore Little India. Immerse yourselves in the rich culture and aromatic streets of this ethnic enclave. Go on a walking trail – hand in hand, of course – through Little India, exploring historic places of worship, glittering goldsmith shops and a treasure trove of colourful murals. Don’t forget to take in all the sights, smells and tastes at Tekka Centre.
After a day of adventure, unwind in a comfortable room, designed with couples in mind. Picture cosy evenings with room service for two, enjoying delicious local specialties while savouring a view of the lively district. Or take a relaxing dip in the sparkling rooftop pool before enjoying Thai delicacies under the stars at Blue Jasmine’s al fresco deck.
