Best Getaway Vacations In Singapore For The 2025 June Holidays!
1. Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree
Recently opened last April 2025, the Mandai Rainforest resort by Banyan Tree offers guests a unique rainforest-inspired stay, immersing guests in the beauty of nature and wildlife like no other.
Located within the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, there’s no place quite like this in Singapore thanks to its close proximity to the rest of Mandai’s acclaimed parks, offering an escape from the noise of the city.
Featuring 338 rooms across the property with views overlooking the lush Upper Seletar Reservoir, the resort offers guests a taste of luxury in the midst of nature.
The resort’s biophilic design is also apparent throughout its architecture, services, and amenities, creating a truly immersive experience for all. Other holistic offerings include curated wildlife programmes, guided walks, as well as wellness retreats.
2. Universal Studios Singapore – Minion Land
In case you missed it, the newest addition to Universal Studio Singapore is finally here: Minion Land!
Inspired by the Despicable Me and Minions franchise loved by many, this new themed zone right in between Far Far Away and Hollywood promises a day filled with fun for all ages.
Minions-themed rides you’d want to add to your list include the Buggie Boogie dance party carousel; Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, an interactive simulator ride for all the senses, and the Silly Swirly, which takes you high up in the air!
Beyond all the rides in this zone, you’ll also find a variety of themed food stalls and retail stores to take a piece of Minion Land home with you. From plushies and t-shirts to candy and even homeware — name it and they’ve got it.
To top it all off, the trip wouldn’t be complete without the iconic shows and meet-and-greet sessions, where you’ll get to meet your favourite Minions characters in the flesh.
Be sure to get a photo op while you’re there!
3. Conrad Centennial Singapore – Family Escape
While one wouldn’t immediately think of the Conrad for a family escape, they have various experiential offerings for the entire family to enjoy.
Located in the iconic Marina Bay district, the Conrad Centennial Singapore is perfect for families seeking a quick respite from the everyday hustle and bustle, right in the heart of the city.
With the Family Escape Package, families can enjoy a luxurious staycation away from the crowds, featuring spacious rooms with sweeping views of the Marina Bay skyline and fun in-room amenities for the little ones, including teepee tents, bathrobes, and colouring books.
Not only does this package include complimentary breakfast and dining discounts, but it also gives families exclusive access to the indoor playground at Kiztopia in Marina Square, which can be easily accessed through sheltered linkways from the hotel.
Beyond the property, the hotel’s prime location also seamlessly connects guests to iconic landmarks in the area such as Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, Esplanade, and the Merlion—just to name a few.
4. Singapore Botanic Gardens – Children’s Garden
It’s no secret that the Singapore Botanic Gardens is a haven filled with kid-friendly attractions, especially ones designed for children to unleash their playful side in nature.
Here, you’ll find not one, but two dedicated areas in the Gardens that make for the perfect nature getaway this school holiday season.
Easily accessible through the Bukit Timah entrance, the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden is Asia’s first garden dedicated just for children. The garden’s theme, “Life on Earth Depends on Plants,” proudly champions philanthropist Jacob Ballas’ vision of creating a bond between the natural world and our little ones.
The garden features various nature play and waterplay areas, playgrounds, as well as the Rainforest Treehouses, complete with challenging ladders, ropes, and other obstacles.
Over at the Gallop Extension of the botanical gardens, you’ll find the COMO Adventure Grove: a playground inspired by the canopies and twisting trails found in nature.
Through immersive elements such as the Weeping Fig and the Saga Tree, the Adventure Grove not only introduces children to the great outdoors in an engaging way, but also encourages them to have fun while they’re at it!
