Top Things to Do on a Renovation Staycation for Couples

Home renovations can be both exciting and exhausting. Rather than endure loud disruptions at home without any peace while working from home, take this chance to have a well-deserved break with your significant other. While your home undergoes a facelift, your general well-being could use an upgrade too!

Looking for a couple staycation in Singapore? Consider staying at a serviced apartment and invigorate yourself while away from home.

The Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, and PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Singapore offer ideal home away from home options for you to recharge and rejuvenate while your home is being retrofitted. You can also check out nearby Singapore local attractions and activities, while enjoying a local holiday.

Conveniently located near local attractions, shopping and dining destinations in Singapore, these serviced apartments offer facilities for relaxation, with additional services to deepen your enjoyment. PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Singapore, for instance, provides pet-friendly accommodation for couples with a furry family member, while avid golfers can hone their golfing skills at the golf putting green over at Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard.
