UntitledWe all need a little winding down, which often comes in the form of vacations. However, instead of worrying about airline tickets, baggage limits and accommodation, why not pick a staycation option instead, which will have you chilling by the poolside and enjoying a little rest and recreation. So here’s a list of some of affordable staycation points in Singapore for you to explore.

Wanderlust Hotel

There’s also an eatery that can be found on its lobby named Cocotte, which has a series of vintage furniture. While you’re at it, you can even enjoy a match of foosball.

Price range: $170 onwards

New Majestic Hotel

Consisting of only 30 rooms, the designs for each room are one of a kind as it varies upon each other. Although different from each other, one common thing about the rooms is that it has a mix of vintage and modern vibe. For example, you can find a room full of modern furniture as well as an ancient drawing on the walls.

Price: $238 onwards

Studio M Hotel

Their facilities include a reflection pool, jet pool and an open-air concept gym. Situated near Clarke Quay, you can even get a late night drink if you end up getting bored in the hotel (which we highly doubt because you’ll be busy lazing around).

Price: $225 onwards

Wink Hostel

If you’re lucky, they might share with you stories of their adventure while you sip on complimentary tea. Private rooms are also available for those who’d like to have their own personal space or share a room with your friends.
