Taking a local break from the drudgery of everyday life usually means a staycation at a hotel to luxuriate one’s worries away. Though there are many hotels available for a staycation in Singapore, there are also other ways to unwind and de-stress such as camping.
Having said that, it is understandable that camping is not for everyone, but you are in luck because there is now such a thing as ‘glamping!’ So the next time you feel inclined to book that getaway, why not try a glamping experience instead!
What Is Glamping?
‘Glamping’, a portmanteau of “glamorous” and “camping” that combines the serenity of what would be an outdoor camping experience with modern day creature comforts to create a lavish, resort-style way to unwind.
Glamping tents are roomy with amenities such as air conditioning and a multitude of fluffy pillows to help you forget you’re in the middle of the city. Check out our glamping recommendations for a great novel holiday experience.
