Part of why we love staycations is that we’re never too far from friends and family. Village Hotel Changi is Singapore’s remotest staycation spot with cellphone reception – just far enough from “real life”, but close enough to remain contactable if anything urgent happens.
With a gorgeous seaview, this is possibly the only infinity pool in Singapore with planes flying overhead as you relax and chill with your loved ones.
Rooms at Village Hotel Changi carry a simplistic elegance, with some rooms replete with a stunning sea-view. For a legit “overseas experience”, wake up at sunrise and take a boat ride to Pulau Ubin or Chek Jawa, both mere minutes away via boat!
These transparent multi-colored balconies funk up the exterior, and make for epic spots to catch the sunrise, complete with a panoramic sea view.
