Book these family-friendly staycation deals for the June school holidays

SINGAPORE – Most holidays begin with inspiration, then quickly turn into spreadsheets, bookings and mounting costs – especially during the June school holidays, when airfares climb and popular destinations overflow with crowds.

For families, the ideal break may be much closer to home.

Singaporeans are no stranger to staycations, with many embracing their convenience, especially as fuel costs drive up airfares around the world. 

In 2025, 16 per cent of hotel conglomerate Marriott International’s business in Singapore was driven by domestic stays, says Oriol Montal, regional vice-president of Luxury for Marriott International Asia-Pacific excluding China, and regional vice-president of its Singapore market. 

“Singaporeans have always had a strong appetite for travel and, increasingly, we are seeing that the desire to disconnect, recharge and spend quality time together does not always require getting on a plane,” he adds.

In line with the June school holidays, hotels in Singapore are rolling out family-friendly packages featuring complimentary activities, attraction passes and other perks for all ages.

Here are seven deals to consider for your next staycation. 

1. Nautical Family Suite package at M Hotel Singapore

M Hotel Singapore, located in Tanjong Pagar, is within walking distance of a wide range of restaurants. Rooms offer sweeping views of either the city skyline or harbour.

Its Nautical Family Suite package features a nautical-themed suite designed in collaboration with indoor playground Kiztopia. It is decked out with ocean-themed wallpaper, anchors and fishing nets that complement panoramic harbour views. There will also be seafaring props and familiar Kiztopia characters.

The 72 sq m suite comes with a king-size bed and two single beds in separate bedrooms for parents and children, a living and dining area, and a private in-room jacuzzi.

Children will get a Nautical Activity Booklet featuring crafts and ocean conservation lessons, while a gentle lighting projector paired with calming music helps little ones wind down at bedtime.

Each booking includes admission to Kiztopia at Marina Square for two adults and two children, along with a breakfast buffet, nautical-themed afternoon tea from 2 to 4pm, and evening canapes served with a bottle of prosecco in the room.
