How can you call it a true staycation when you're still in utterly familiar surrounds? This June holidays, take the effort and venture beyond Singapore's usual hotels

Out At The Outpost

SINGAPOREANS ARE CREATURES OF CONVENIENCE and with air travel prices either at all-time highs or with the general unavailability of tickets, you might be tempted to just book one of the usual staycation haunts in the country's city centre. Augustman is not here to dissuade you from the idea but rather ask you to look a little further.

Technically "overseas" - you do cross the water, but you can travel by car - Sentosa becomes a natural option to your holiday woes. A member of Small Luxury Hotels (SLH) of the World, The Outpost Hotel (TOH) at Sentosa is emblematic of the group's dedication to "anti-chain, anti-same, independently spirited hotels". One of the key attributes of SLH properties is the preference for secluded, discrete options with the highest standards of luxury and guest wellbeing, criteria which certainly place a property like the adults-only TOH at the top of our list for a staycation.

Out Of Town In Our Own Backyard

The idea of paradise has captivated people for generations. Typically used to represent idealised states of bliss, satisfaction and contentment, Paradise, from a philosophical point of view, is a condition of mind marked by tranquillity and enlightenment. For the philosopher, happiness and pleasure come from gaining a thorough comprehension of the cosmos and their place in it. Paradise isn't just a location of pleasure and indulgence for him; it's also a way of life earned through the quest of knowledge and understanding.
