Amara Sanctuary Resort Singapore
You may not be able to head to Bali for a resort vacay right now, but you can definitely recreate the mood with an offshore-island staycay at Sentosa. The Couple Suites at Amara Sanctuary Resort Singapore are a luxurious choice for a resort stay, and offer direct access to the property’s infinity lap pool and jacuzzi. Bliss out at the spa in the day, followed by an evening stroll by the beach, and end the day with in-room dining for a private night all to yourselves.

Raffles Hotel Singapore
The Grande Dame of Singapore is offering a special Valentine’s Day weekend staycation package that includes a stay in one of its luxurious suites, a complimentary tour of the premises led by the property’s resident historian, as well as credits that can be used on an indulgent celebratory meal at the hotel’s many restaurants.
Of all his encounters with famous celebrities and royals who have stayed at the Raffles Hotel Singapore, Leslie Danker’s meeting with Queen Elizabeth II in 2006 will forever be etched in his memory. “I have always admired the Queen of England,” he shares via email. “I remember greeting her with a bow and saying that her first visit to Singapore in 1972 was the year I joined the Raffles Hotel, to which she replied, ‘That is great!’ three words that will always be special to me.”
That year, Danker joined the hotel as a maintenance supervisor, and over the next five decades, worked in various departments including F&B operations and guest relations. In 2004, he was appointed the hotel’s resident historian, a position he has held since.
