Family Getaway Within Singapore: Sentosa Island

By July 27, 2020 No Comments

 

The pandemic took us by surprise and had us all shaken to the core, making 2020 a disaster. As we fear to step out of our doors in the chance of being at risk of the virus, we stare boredom right in the eyes; yearning for the virus to disappear for good. After months of being cooped up indoors, the air is finally clearing from the coronavirus stench but with unfortunate lingering bits, which is why it is mandatory to practise safety measures against the virus. With Phase 2 in session, most of those that have been seized are back in business and we are given some leeway to get back out there to dwell in leisure. It’s the perfect time for a family getaway and since the borders are still on a close, it’s the best opportunity to go around Singapore and visit the wonders that our glorious country has to offer. Whether a weekend getaway or just a day-trip, we’ve got the perfect place that is back in the saddle! Even with the approved leniency, don’t skip out on the safety measures and keep these precautions in mind:

  • Bring along a small bottle of sanitizer
  • Wear masks
  • Keep and remain a 2-meter distance from people
  • If you notice an overly crowded place, avoid said place
  • Use cashless payment options
  • Keep from touching your face, advise the same to your little ones beforehand
  • Immediately take a shower when you get the chance

Sentosa Island 

Pack some snacks, load the car and embark on a fun road trip with the whole family to Sentosa! Sentosa reopened as soon as phase 2 was launched, and what better way to spend a family getaway than at the remarkable Sentosa Island. With the endless array of attractions that Sentosa has to offer, your family getaway has to end with an overnight stay or maybe even two. Pristine beaches with white sands and crystal blue waters that look like they’re right out of a movie, thrilling amusement parks and animals that hail from all around the world which is exactly what they bring to the table, for you to add as a definite drop-by on your family getaway within Singapore.

Important Note: There have been jellyfish sightings at Palawan, Siloso, and Tanjong Beach, so it is advised to be on a lookout for them and to avoid them. If you happen to come across one, alert other beach-goers and Sentosa’s on-ground Beach Patrol Officers (BPO). The Box Jellyfish that have been spotted in the waters of Sentosa is highly dangerous and is to be avoided at all costs. Get immediate help from Sentosa’s BPO at 1800 RANGERS (1800 726 4377) if anyone in your family happens to get stung and keep in mind to not rub the area that has been stung.
