Shawn TanIt’s that time of the year again, when you start having an urge to reach for your passport… But, even if you’re not looking to travel out of the country right now, our Little Red Dot still has its fair share of unique activities for you to pursue your #TravelGoals, with a staycation being the best launchpad.
Not only do you still get to roll around in premium sheets and fluffy pillows, you get to trade your work garbs for a bathrobe or bathing suit as you kick back and unwind. We have curated a list of the best staycation packages and complimentary deals this March to help you escape the daily grind, at least for a few days.
| A holiday isn’t synonymous with an overseas trip. Sometimes, what you need is a break — rather than deal with having to plan an itinerary and pack your luggage, all of which are stress-inducing on their own, a staycation is all kinds of appealing.
Take your pick from staycation deals — with up to 25% off from properties such as Sofitel Singapore City Centre, Swissôtel The Stamford, Singapore, and Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore and more — exclusively with HSBC credit cards! T&Cs apply. |
So, without further ado, let’s find the best package for your holiday needs.
