How to Plan a Relaxing Self Care Staycation

If ever there’s a time to consider taking a solo staycation focused on self-care, it is now. 

With overseas travel only likely in the distant future—coupled with stressful Work From Home (WFH) situations being the default for most—there is no time better than the present to book a refreshing solo staycation in Singapore. 

In this article, you will unlock the secrets to successfully plan a short wellness staycation that nourishes your mind, body and soul. 

Where To Stay For Your Self Care Staycation

The first step in planning for your get-well getaway is to pick the best hotel to restore your holistic health.

We recommend that you consider either of the PARKROYAL COLLECTION hotels (PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay and PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering) for your rejuvenating retreat—both staycation venues are eco-conscious, with design concepts that celebrate eco-friendliness, wellness, and sustainability.

Described as a “hotel-in-a-garden,” PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, located close to many Singapore local attractions, is cocooned in lush greenery. It is the first hotel with “zero-energy sky gardens” featuring gravity-driven irrigation derived from a rainwater harvesting system and solar energy. 

The hotel offers a “Green City Life” staycation package which includes fitness access to its new impact gym, as well as a plant-based menu for a body and planet-friendly stay.

Over at the Marina Bay area, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay adopts the “garden in a hotel” concept, with lush gardens blanketing the hotel’s interior. Guests can look forward to bright and airy rooms with timber flooring, as well as vanity tops, sinks, and bathtubs created from recycled composite stones and granite. 

The hotel’s highlight? An inviting 13-metre tall green landscaped wall, beckoning you to take a closer look. You can also relax at the Pool Garden Pavilion that overlooks Marina Bay while enjoying a  stunning view of Singapore’s city skyline.

PARKROYAL COLLECTION MARINA Bay further features a Body and Soul Club Med experience that embraces the vital aspects of self-care—fitness, rest and diet. This holistic staycation package gives you access to fitness classes, wellness workshops, and farm-to-table dining experiences.

Day 1: Check In and Take It Easy

Arrive at your hotel at 3pm for a leisurely check-in. As you start to de-stress and decompress from your hectic work (and life), take your time to explore the luxurious interiors of your hotel, admire its eco-friendly environs, or enjoy a relaxing dip in the pool. 

If you make PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering your wellness staycation spot, visit the infinity pool on the Wellness Floor during the evening to admire Singapore’s urban cityscape. Thereafter, lounge in our unique birdcage-inspired poolside cabanas to watch the sunset as city lights start twinkling in the twilight. 

After your poolside escapade, consider grabbing a delicious and nourishing dinner before retiring early for the night. At Lime, you’ll have myriad options to choose from it's a la carte menu (enjoy SGD30 nett dining credit with the Green City Life package). You can also pick from meatless alternatives on its plant-based a la carte menu. 

If you stay at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, take a few laps at the outdoor mineral water pool which stretches over 25 metres (half the length of an Olympic-sized swimming pool). When night falls, glide through a galaxy of stars as 1,380 fibre-optic lights illuminating the pool come to life.

Famished after your swim? Head to Peppermint for a farm-to-table experience. The restaurant’s interior, decked out with greenery throughout, is designed to remind you of nature. Its menu includes plant-based options comprising sustainably and locally sourced ingredients focused on conscious eating.    

Post-dinner, it is time to wind down for the night back in your room. Soak in the bathtub for a warm bath, get comfortable in bed with a good book, and have a restful night’s sleep. 

 

Day 2: Care for Your Mind, Body, and Soul
