Fancy treating yourself to a stay at the iconic renovated Raffles Hotel Singapore from $1,050++ for 2 nights (until 30 October) including daily breakfast, a $100 dining credit, and an exclusive History Tour! Or check out the Treasure of Raffles Stay & Play package, now on till 29 September 2021, featuring a virtual theatrical experience ‘The Curious Case of the Missing Peranakan Treasure’, a detective mystery filmed at Raffles hotel, directed by Hossan Leong. We tried this experience and it was so fun! The kids loved the theatre show filmed using 360 degree VR cameras, which we watched in our suite. There was then a treasure hunt around the hotel grounds to find the missing jewel – what a wonderful way to appreciate the heritage here. The colonial architecture is striking, the rooftop pool is stunning (best for well-behaved or older kids as guests are mostly couples enjoying the peace), service is top-notch and breakfast taken at the Tiffin Room or alfresco courtyard is absolutely fantastic! The Stay & Play staycation (or daycation) package includes breakfast for two, two complimentary Singapore Slings, a gift from Raffles Boutique, exclusive 15% off at all Raffles-operated restaurants, bars and spa. Successful mystery solvers will receive a special Afternoon Tea Experience for two at The Grand Lobby (worth $156++).

Do note that as with many hotels listed here, you’ll need to book an hour slot at the pool so do that early to avoid disappointment (plus we understand ‘kiddo swim time’ is only during the day to allow for quieter swims in the evening).

12. Oasia Hotel Downtown: Stay 3 Nights, Pay for 2 Hotel Deal
Oasia Hotel Downtown is offering an attractive rate of $460 nett for 3 nights! The hotel is beautifully covered with real plants and has plenty of tropical greens dotted all around the common areas. We love its open-air lobby on Level 12, with a sprawling open space where kids can run around. The infinity pool isn’t kid-friendly, but you can head up to the other pool on the rooftop which will be much suited for families (and with a restaurant nearby having some nibbles after swimming makes it easier!). The Marmalade Pantry on the ground floor does a decent breakfast and afternoon tea too.

If you do want a bit of fresh air, take a walk along the Robertson Quay area and check out one of the many fab cafes and restaurants nearby. You can also head up to the rooftop pool, but note that it’s tiny (so this hotel may be more for adults than kids)! Not all rooms have bathtubs, but they will provide kid-friendly amenities such as a small kids’ tub and toiletries upon request (subject to availability).

26. Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore: New Luxury Resort
Thailand-based Dusit Thani has recently opened in Singapore! The wellness-focused urban resort is nestled within the grounds of the acclaimed Laguna National Golf & Resort Club. The pool is massive, and so far it looks like it’s one of the lesser-known staycation spots on the island. Just a heads up that it’s pretty secluded and there’s no other F&B nearby, so you’ll likely have to stay within the resort throughout your stay.
Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore, 11 Laguna Golf Green, Singapore 488047, www.dusit.com/dusitthani-laguna-singapore
