There are 3 types of people in their mid-twenties: 1) single, 2) has a prospective partner with plans to marry, or 3) married. For those in the second category, you’re probably saving up for the BIG day.

But if you’re still craving for a couple’s holiday – Expedia.com.sg offers daily deals! From beach resorts to chic urban hotels, these places are perfect for pre-honeymoons.
With prices starting from just $162, it’ll be easy to convince bae to head to these destinations:

This newly built hotel is decked in blue and white to mimic a boat on sea, along with marine motifs, a porthole window and an open-bathroom concept – not a place for family vacations!
Its rooftop terrace holds the Beyond Sky Bar and a spacious outdoor pool. With a cold margarita in hand, it’s the perfect place to chill when the heat gets too overbearing!
Note: There’s a mini mart beside the hotel, selling groceries and holiday essentials such as suntan lotion and sun hats – best to get them before you become “chaoda” (burnt).
