If you prefer to be home for the holidays, we suss out the latest staycay promotions at these kid-friendly hotels.
JW MARRIOTT SINGAPORE SOUTH BEACH
It’s rare to find infinity pools that are shallow enough for toddlers and preschoolers. Guess what? This hotel has two.
There is one on the sixth storey that faces Suntec City, and another on the 18th storey, which has sweeping views of the Padang, Esplanade and CBD skyline. Both pools begin from 0.5m and go up to 1.2m deep.
This is Singapore’s first Philippe Starck-designed hotel, so you can expect to be wowed by uber-stylish decor at every corner.
Until June 21, 2019, book its two-night family package – with the promo code F10 – for two adults and one child up to 12 years old.
Besides a daily buffet breakfast, your brood enjoys one buffet dinner at Beach Road Kitchen and a choice of tickets to these attractions: Gardens By The Bay and OCBC Skyway, Duck and Hippo tours, Singapore River Cruise, National Gallery and Joyscoot at Singapore Flyer.
Rates start from $400++ per room per night. If you have another child, top up $85++ for extra bed and breakfast.

There’s so much to do at Singapore’s only beachfront resort that one night just isn’t enough for a staycation.
Besides a sheltered pool with water slides, there are playgrounds – both outdoor and indoor – to keep the kids very happy.
