We’re nearing the time of the year when the travel bug usually hits and we start making plans to clear our annual leaves. But with overseas vacations being improbable any time soon, here are some cool ideas that might just tickle your wanderlust tastebuds, without you having to set foot out of Singapore.
#1 Take Flight
For some, a vacation ain’t a vacation if it doesn’t involve flying. Can’t board a plane now? How about an experience at Sushi Airways? The airplane-theme restaurant located at 20a Baghdad Street is voted one of the top six sushi restaurants in Singapore by London-based website Culture Trip. Its deco is inspired by an 80-year-old aircraft, and crew in hybrid kimono uniforms and chef-pilots will whip up business-class service to make you feel like you’re on a flight again.
#2 Shop tax-free
Miss duty-free shopping? Check out iShopChangi 24/7 and purchase items you’ll usually browse from an in-flight magazine – no boarding passes required. Get extra 10% off your first purchase with our NDP eCoupon or 7% off tax-absorbed shopping for existing iShopChangi shoppers here.
#3 Take a Singapoliday
From restored shophouses-turned boutique inns to designer urban oases to beach villas with panoramic views, hotels in Singapore offer myriad opportunities for the perfect staycation. To book, get the Expedia app then take your pick from hotels that are currently approved by the Singapore Tourism Board for safe management measures.
#4 Dine Like a Hotel Guest
If hotel service makes you feel pampered, be totally indulged when you dine at Window on the Park, a restaurant known for its sumptuous buffets at Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre. Currently served á la carte-style, its lunch and dinner buffets feature local and Asian flavours. Enjoy a 1-for-1 deal at Window on the Park now with our NDP eCoupon.
