The four-day Chinese New Year weekend is just around the corner, and for those with no plans to visit annoying relatives or to get bombarded with questions like “where are you working now” and “when are you getting married”, check out some of the quick getaways we’ve dug up for your enjoyment!
Bangkok
As city-dwellers, most of us are used to the creature comforts of a city. What better place to enjoy a quick getaway than at Bangkok, where you get all the comforts of the city but at a fraction of a price? We recommend staying in the Pratunam district, where wholesale and high-end shopping centres are both at the tips of your fingers.
Capella Singapore
Want to experience some luxury in your own backyard? Book a room at Capella Singapore, one of the latest and greatest hotels to grace Sentosa Island. While Sentosa might bring to mind hordes of tourists, Capella is actually conveniently located out of the main tourist area, and boasts a quiet, luxurious charm. It also has its own beach area.
Ho Chi Minh City
Similar to Singapore, in that it doesn’t ever sleep either, Ho Chi Minh is a perfect getaway for those looking to chill out and relax during the Chinese New Year period. Experience everything from ultramodern malls to old wooden shops of an age past. It’s hard to believe that Ho Chin Minh was on the brink of collapse just a generation ago.
Take A Break. Try Some Of Our Games!
Batam
Batam could easily be called the ultimate spring-break getaway for Singaporeans with its abundance of seafood, water sports and general debauchery. Only 45 minutes away by boat, it can make for a fun, budget-friendly getaway if you know where to look.
For the more upmarket visitor, chill out in Nagoya or Nongsa – but expect to pay top dollar for that!
Quincy Hotel
Yup, another staycation in Singapore; but with prices getting more affordable, who can help it? Quincy Hotel is tucked away in a corner of town – you’ve really got to walk to get there – but that isolation gives it a quiet charm not found elsewhere on the island. Couple its proximity with our fabled shopping belt and its gorgeous décor and modern amenities, this is one staycation you’re going to want to stay at.
