If a scroll through your phone’s camera reel is little more than a combination of facemask-selfies and the view from your couch, then it is the perfect time to start making new memories. A Singapore staycation isn’t just a great excuse to get out of the house, it’s an opportunity to spend more time with the kids in an environment that’s free of stress and where someone else will clean up the mess.

We’ve selected four of Singapore’s best family hotel staycations and holiday packages for you to choose from. Whether you’d like to make a splash at Sentosa, make some animal friends in the zoo, spend the day on the beach, or take a river safari, we’ve got a family-friendly Singapore staycation idea just for you.

"Swap the sweatpants and the sofa for a safari or the seaside with our four favourite Singapore family staycation ideas"

1. Trade Your Zoom for a Zoo & Room Staycation

If you’re feeling a little uninspired when it comes to suggesting fun things to keep the kids entertained, or even what to make for dinner, then you’ll love our first Singapore staycation idea that combines Millennium Hotel comfort with a wild day out at the Singapore Zoo.

Spread over 26 hectares and home to more than 2400 animals from 300 different species, the Singapore Zoo is one of the best in the world. But what makes Singapore Zoo extra special is the ‘open zoo’ concept with highlights like the world’s first free-ranging orangutan habitat, raised boardwalks, and exciting animal habitats.

Experience Singapore Zoo for less with a Singapore Zoo add-on when making your booking. Not only can you save 20% on zoo admission, you’ll also be able to share those memories with an exclusive photo memento.

2. Live The Island Life with A Singapore & Sentosa Staycation

That dream island holiday might be closer than you think with our beach Singapore staycation idea. Combine a stay at M Social Singapore with a day out at Sentosa Island and live the island life for less. With its cool Philippe Starck design, laid back loft-style rooms, friendly futuristic robot staff members and fantastic Robertson Quay location, M Social Singapore is the ultimate family staycation hotel.

Take your pick from Sentosa’s three beaches: Palawan is perfect for families, Siloso is great if you’re planning on water sports, and Tanjong is the most relaxed of the three. Beyond the white sand, turquoise waters, and palm trees, Sentosa is home to Adventure Cove Waterpark, a butterfly park, iFly ‘parachuting’ wind tunnel, an adventure park, and an award-winning aquarium.

If you’ve got a car, then M Social Singapore is just 15 minutes’ drive from the hotel. Choose public transport and you can take the North East Line, or the 143 bus and get to Sentosa Gateway in 45 minutes.

3.Nature´s Calling with An East Coast Park Staycation

For the ultimate ‘glamping’ staycation combine the wild natural beauty of East Coast Park by day, with the luxury of Orchard Hotel Singapore by night. Take a 25-minute drive from the hotel and explore the more than 15kms of Singapore’s most popular stretch of coastline.

East Coast Park is a local’s favourite with good reason. Cycle your way along 12 km’s of cycle paths, have a picnic lunch or hire a BBQ pit in the shade of pretty Casuarina trees, let the kids loose in the Nature Playgarden, and test your balance with a wakeboarding experience on the water.

A 2021 Tripadvisor Travelers Choice award winner and a regular feature in ‘best of Singapore’ lists, the Orchard Hotel Singapore offers hotel excellence in one of the most iconic neighbourhoods in Singapore. The hotel rubs shoulders with world-famous shopping malls and designer stores, is home to amazing dining, and has a range of comfortable accommodations to choose from. But, best of all, the hotel offers warm and welcoming Asian hospitality that makes for a memorable staycation experience.

4.Say Goodbye to Boring with Some Safari Exploring

A true one-of-a-kind, River Safari in Singapore is Asia’s first and only river-themed safari park. A visit to River Safari is your family’s best opportunity to get up close to more than 7500 animals from more than 240 different species. Wander and river-ride from the Congo to the Ganges and the Mekong to the Nile and discover unique freshwater environments in a series of interactive and educational exhibits.

River Safari highlights include the Giant Panda Forest, home to Kai Kai and Jia Jia, a boat ride down Wild Amazonia, playful giant river otters, curious manatees, cute squirrel monkeys, and even electric eels and anacondas.
