What to do on a Daycation in Singapore

 

Wish to enjoy a quick getaway that doesn’t take up too much time? A daycation may be just what you need.

With working from home (WFH) becoming the default, the lines separating work, rest, and play have blurred, giving us a severe case of cabin fever. If you are experiencing work-from-home fatigue with overseas travel on the far horizon, consider a day staycation (or daycation) to refresh yourself. 

While a staycation involves spending the night at a hotel, a daycation or a day staycation gives you all the hotel’s luxuries without needing to stay overnight. This helps you to save both time and money.

What to do on a Daycation at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay in Singapore

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay Urban Room PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay Urban Room

 

Begin your daycation by lounging lazily in the Urban Room at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay—fitted with fine touches and amenities for a day of indulgence. Soak in the panoramic views of the Marina Bay from your balcony, and start your day on a postive note.

 

Mineral Water Pool Mineral Water Pool

 

Head out for a light stroll along the Marina Bay area before returning for a short refreshing dip at the hotel’s outdoor Mineral Water Pool. If you are up for it, sign up for a spin class to work up a sweat—yes, exercise is good for the body and the soul. 

 

 

As mid-morning approaches, make time for a rejuvenating spa experience to relax your tensed muscles and soothe your frayed nerves. Take it slow at the award-winning St. Gregory Spa—try out its specially-curated Executive Treatments, designed for time-strapped executives looking for an efficient yet invigorating massage.

 

Peppermint’s Urban Farm Peppermint’s Urban Farm

 

Follow up your relaxing spa session with lunch at Peppermint, a refreshing dining experience beside an organic rooftop vegetable garden. The farm-to-table halal-certified restaurant offers a wide variety of Asian and international favourites, all freshly prepared in the open concept kitchen. Peppermint’s menu uses sustainably sourced ingredients—some are harvested right beside the restaurant at its urban farm which you can tour after your lunch. The Urban Farm is home to over 60 varieties of herbs, vegetables and edible flowers, which are used as salads, garnishes and ingredients for the restaurant’s menu. 

 

 

Head back to your room after lunch to rest and catch up on your reading, before heading to the hotel’s Green Space for a yoga or pilates session to clear your mind and stretch those knotted sinews. Reward yourself after your workout with afternoon tea at Portman’s Bar, which is set in a pavilion with heavy resort vibes on level four. Choose from an impressive selection of tea and coffee crafted in an Elektra Belle Epoque coffee machine, which is highly prized among espresso enthusiasts. 

 

 

If you prefer to stay outdoors, head to the poolside Skyline Bar and order a drink or two while basking under the sun. As dusk falls, head back to your room for a relaxing dip in the deep bathtub before checking out of the room.

After checking out at 7pm, you can continue immersing yourself in the hotel’s restorative vibes by dining at Peach Blossoms. Serving traditional Cantonese cuisine in a warm and wood-covered dining space, you can please your palate with the finest Chinese fare while enjoying picturesque views of Marina Bay.

Prefer the awe-inspiring rooftop gardens of PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering? Check into the Urban Junior Suite, where you can unwind with stunning views of Singapore’s cityscape while relaxing in a spacious living area. 

 

Outdoor Infinity Pool Outdoor Infinity Pool

 

With the morning still young after breakfast, take a walk through Chinatown as it bustles with life. The lack of crowds in the morning makes it easier for you to admire the precinct’s unique architectural and cultural sights. 

After your Chinatown exploration, continue on a different aerial journey back at the hotel—a stroll along the 300-metre meandering garden filled with lush greenery at level five of the hotel before going for a dip at the hotel’s outdoor infinity pool next to it. The infinity pool offers the perfect vantage point for basking in the sun and catching the mid-morning traffic at the edge of the CBD (Central Business District). If you are up for it, hop over to the nearby jacuzzi for a short bubbly session.  

 

 

Feel refreshed after your jacuzzi? It’s time to grab lunch at Lime, which serves a wide selection of local, Southeast Asian and International culinary delights. Head back to your room after lunch for a well-deserved rest. You can choose to do some reading, or simply gaze out your window at the cityscape below. 

What is a relaxing daycation without a pampering spa treatment? At St. Gregory Spa, give yourself a treat with a revitalising facial or a rejuvenating massage. Or choose from the extensive spa menu that will cater for your every need. 

Walk off your delicious afternoon tea by exploring the hotel’s beautifully landscaped gardens. Find out why PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering has been repeatedly awarded as the “World’s Leading Green City Hotel”. 

 

 

Spend the remaining hours of your daycation just lounging in your room, watching TV or taking a short nap. After all, this day is all about self-care, and that includes doing absolutely nothing! 

Check out at 7pm and you may choose to head back to Lime for dinner. Give yourself one last treat at Lime Patisserie—an extension of Lime which offers decadent desserts that satisfy any sweet tooth. 

If you feel that one day is too short to pamper yourself, consider a three-day, two-night relaxing self-care staycation for a truly rejuvenating experience. 

Ready to refresh yourself for a day (or longer)? Contact us at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay or PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering today. Our teams are more than happy to help you reward yourself with a self-care daycation or a longer well-deserved staycation!
