10 Staycation deals for the end of the year

With 2021 coming to a close and we enter the festive season, it is the perfect opportunity to take some time off to rest, relax and recharge for the new year. 

Sadly, COVID-19 may have come in the way of many of our vacation plans. But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our holidays in Singapore.

Staycations have become a new holiday norm during the pandemic, and as our holidays are no longer about sightseeing around a new country, but instead about relaxing indoors with cool amenities we can’t get from home, choosing the right hotel becomes a priority.

Thus, here are 10 staycation deals to help soothe your travelling blues:

Instead of simply providing breakfast and a room to stay in, M Social Hotel Singapore is offering a complimentary perfume or cocktail making workshop along with your room booking!
