We hold every short break in high anticipation – an escape from the everyday pressures of life is always good for the soul. Despite being a small country, Singapore has plenty of staycation options to choose from, with its myriad of hotels and resorts. But a staycation for a pet owner is just incomplete without our furkids.
To avoid suffering from separation anxiety, book a pet-friendly hotel or resort for a relaxing weekend with your pet.

You don’t need another reason to spoil your fur babies. But if you’re looking for a place that treats them as the VIPs they really are, then head over to Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa.
The FurKid Retreat comes with a 1-night stay for the pawrents and the dog or cat. Your VIP also gets its own bed and bowl, as well as a welcome gift basket with toys and treats.
For you and your human plus one, there’ll be breakfast and dinner at Kwee Zeen. The all-day dining restaurant that serves Western and Asian cuisine has al fresco seating, so your pet will never have to leave your side, even on vacation.
In fact, they’re free to roam any outdoor area of the hotel, including the pool and garden. Make use of the direct access path to Tanjong Beach too, if you want open space to have playtime with your pupper.
Should these memories be worth preserving in more than just a social media post, consider upgrading the package to include a photographer for the occasion. Enquire with the hotel for more details.

Take your pets to Four Seasons Hotel Singapore (from $646/night) and recline the afternoon away in a Premier Room with a calm, muted colour palette and all-marble bathroom. It’s located in Orchard, so you can sneak out for a quick shopping trip at the nearby malls if your pet is taking an afternoon nap.
Bring your floof to accompany you on a business trip. Do note that only the vaccinated, well-trained, and those under 11kg are allowed on the premises.

It is not every day you get to wake up to a view of the sea or lush greenery right outside your window, what more with your furkid beside you. But you can do just that at Capella Singapore (from $1,360/night).

The lush greenery all over Kranji Sanctuary Resort makes for a welcome break from the high-rise buildings that surround us – and your furkid is sure to enjoy running around in the huge open spaces in the compound.
Pets are allowed in all their rooms, and their Standard Rooms start at a price of $165/night with an extra charge of $100 per pet. Although it’s a standard room, it features an open-air concept bathroom that’ll make you feel as if you’re in Bali.

Chalets in Singapore are great for gathering large groups of friends, and CSC Loyang (formerly Aloha Loyang) is perfect if you’re looking to throw a paw-ty with your fellow pet-owner friends.
Their Sea View Bungalow (from $626.47/night) comes with 4 bedrooms with attached bathrooms, and of course, they’re pet-friendly. Just note that there’s a minimum of a 2-night stay with every room you book.

Regardless, the homestay is very convenient. It has a kitchen well-equipped with an induction cooker, pots and pans, utensils, and a refrigerator and microwave. And with a sheltered BBQ pit, it’s easy to whip up a feast for your party, rain or shine.

These bungalows also offer direct access to the beach, where there’s a dog run and washing point for muddy paws.

Your party will have plenty of space to spread out in the common area after a day of playing with your doggies on the beach.
If you feel that your pet deserves a little more fun than the nearby neighbourhood park and dog run you frequently take them to, then pamper them with a staycation at one of these pet-friendly hotels. A number of them come with open spaces or are located near the beach, so you can both enjoy the outdoors together.
