Vacations, particularly family vacations, are important for they offer a complete break from the daily grind that spares no one. A vacation is one of the best ways to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect. It is time to find the freedom and space to be who you are and spend quality time with those who matter most. It’s when you strengthen family bonds and make memories that last a lifetime.
Perhaps that’s why Singaporeans love holidays. We jump at any opportunity to pack our bags and fly off. At least, that was how it used to be before the COVID situation unfolded. While there’s really no telling when leisure travel can resume, it doesn’t mean you can’t go on full vacation mode.
To help you get started, we have suggested a list of hotels, attractions, activities plus promotions to make it all the more exciting!

What to Do?
Holidays should offer a complete respite from all of that urban madness. Sentosa, known for its scenic attractions, is perfect for that! Most of Sentosa’s nature trails and attractions have reopened, so it’s time to breathe in some fresh air!
Experience a more tranquil side of Sentosa at the Sentosa Nature Discovery trail with interactive exhibits, sculptures and a lookout point. Draw your kids’ attention to the different trees and flowers on show that make up the eight types of habitat found on the island. Here’s a challenge – try to spot the endangered Magpie Robin!
You can also enjoy a scenic treetop trek on the Fort Siloso Skywalk trail. Towering 11-storeys high and stretching 181 meters long, this one is sure to take your breath away! It will lead you to Fort Siloso, a treasure trove of WWII memorabilia, including coastal guns and the remains of fortified military structures and tunnels. The wax figures of Japanese and British soldiers are bound to fascinate your kids. Time for a history lesson!
In addition, you can visit Sky Park by AJ Hackett Sentosa. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, you can take a dive off the 50 meters high AJ Hackett Bungy Tower. Alternatively, there’s a Skybridge, a 40m walkway with see-through sections and a Giant Swing that’ll hurtle you towards the beach at 120km/h. It’s sure to just have the entire family squealing in delight!
