No Babymoon in Sight? Plan a Romantic Staycation in Singapore Instead!
Your complexion is glowing and your baby bump is growing. But you’re so done with morning sickness and stressing over which baby stroller to buy. The thought of the end of your honeymoon and the beginning of parenthood is also daunting — this applies to Daddy-to-be too. Why not play out your final fantasies as a twosome before baby’s arrival? We say an ultra pampering and romantic staycation in lieu of your thwarted overseas babymoon is surely what the obgyn ordered!
1. Capella Singapore
With Sentosa being the closest thing to ‘overseas’ at the moment, how about a couple’s getaway at Capella Singapore? Choose from generous rooms, suites, and villas set in 30 acres of lush rainforest fringed by the South China Sea. Take a dip in the tranquil adults-only pool or relax in your in-room Jacuzzi. Want a candlelit dinner on your balcony? Or a romantic picnic in the lush grounds? Speak to your personal Capella Culturist to customise the most idyllic babymoon for you.
Pamper yourself with the three-night Perfect Time for Two (from $1,070) package. It’s a rejuvenating spa retreat featuring a 60-minute session for two at the award-winning Auriga Spa. The Prenatal Massage promises a blissful session to help alleviate muscle tension — say goodbye to aching backs and tired legs! You’ll also enjoy sumptuous daily breakfast and a wide range of complimentary guest services and resort activities throughout your stay.
