How to Prepare for a Luxury Holiday in Singapore – Enjoy A Truly Satisfying Trip

 Although it is often thought that luxury travel would be exorbitantly expensive, in fact, it will not always be so. There will be several ways to enhance your travel experience to make it more luxurious, without having an excessively lavish budget. The best way to experience such a memorable getaway would be to set up a budget (or account) for it in advance of your trip and plan accordingly. Provided below are some suggestions for enjoying a luxury holiday at a destination like Singapore.

 Choose your travel period carefully

If you choose to visit a country or city during the peak season for tourism, you are likely to encounter optimal weather but the prices for flights and accommodation will be significantly higher. You will also encounter more fellow tourists! In the case of Singapore, the high season would be the months of June, July and February. During June and July school holidays will be in effect and shopping sales will be available, whereas February would be the time of the Chinese New Year.

On the other hand, during the low season from August through November – apart from the dates for the Formula One motor race – you can expect more rain, but lower prices and fewer tourists; this makes this period also worth considering for your Singapore holiday. The shoulder season (in between the peak and off-peak periods) will also be a good choice for a holiday; this would be December to January and March to May.

Select a suitable accommodation

When it comes to your luxury Singapore holiday, you must select your accommodation with care. You could look for a hotel situated in an accessible location such as the Civic District within the Central Business District; such properties will be in proximity to well-known shopping malls as well as appealing dining venues, sightseeing attractions and entertainment options. When it comes to luxury, you could look for quality interiors as well as contactless check-in, while ensuring it’s an SG Clean certified hotel for truly safe stays.

If you truly wish to splurge you could look for a suite with features like leather-accented wardrobes with artisan detailing, burlwood cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, Jacuzzi and
complimentary high-speed internet. You may also seek facilities like a swimming pool, restaurant and fitness centre at the property which will add to the convenience. When looking for the best hotel suites in Singapore, an accommodation choice to consider that offers such features described above would be Grand Park City Hall.

Consider the prices

To make the most of the money that you will be spending on your Singapore holiday, you should always consider the value that you receive for the prices that you pay. In other words, your accommodation, flights and tour packages must all provide good value for money. In this regard, a great way to save money would be booking directly through a hotel’s official website for exclusive rates and benefits; you can also avail yourself of the attractive special offers provided. For instance, you may find advance payment offers, flexible rates and discounted rates for longer stays. You may also take advantage of special offers regarding wedding ceremonies and Chinese New Year reunion meals, as well as appealing deals on bed & breakfast and afternoon tea.

 Experience the local cuisine

Naturally, savouring the local cuisine of our holiday destination will be a highlight of the trip for many. This experience will provide you with the opportunity to try out unfamiliar and exotic foods and delight your taste buds. However, you may take the opportunity to plan out your holiday culinary experiences by undertaking some research in advance. You could find out the dishes that are popular in Singapore and whether they are readily available at local restaurants or hawker centres and how much they will cost. Finally, you could make a list of the dishes that you desire to try, along with the estimated cost for each dish. In this way, you will have a clear idea of your dining costs which will help you to plan out your luxury holiday.
