The usual pool, bed and breakfast affair is satisfying enough for most of us, but if you’d like something out of the ordinary, these 8 highly-themed staycations offer bundle activities and limited-time promotions for something to do other than nua-ing all day.

With borders closed, many of us might be itching to leave the shores of Singapore. The good news is you can do just that with one of the many “sea-cations” now available. They come in many forms – from Royal Caribbean cruise packages to yacht rental deals – but if you’re on a budget, one to consider is the “yacht-themed” staycation by the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club.

The deal comprises a 2D1N stay by the sea for two, at the club’s Marina Lodge. Typically exclusive to club members, this staycay deal is now open to the public. And if you’re shocked by the high price point, know that your staycay comes with a two-hour yacht cruise that’ll take you around the Southern islands as well.
As an added perk, you can invite three extra friends along for the yacht ride at no extra cost!
Promotion period: Until further notice
Rates: From $400/night for two

Hotel Michael’s poolside

Think “where would a tourist go,” and chances are, Sentosa will come to mind. Typically pricier than the rest of SG, it’s not a place that we’ll frequent more than twice a year – but that also makes it the perfect place to splurge on a pseudo holiday.
For those in need of a serious break, consider the 3D2N Hotel & Multi-Attractions Package at RWS’ Hotel Michael, available to all Mastercard holders, for a more immersive getaway.
Albeit not the cheapest staycation package out there, a pair of tickets each to Universal Studios Singapore and S.E.A. Aquarium are included so you’ll have plenty to do during your stay. Enjoy each attraction with extra perks such as priority admission and $40 worth of retail and F&B vouchers bundled in for a fuller experience.
Promotion period: Until 31st December 2020
Rates: From $1,286/night for two
Address: 8 Sentosa Gateway, Singapore 098269
