Chalets in Singapore: Pet-friendly stays, parties and barbecues galore

These chalets in Singapore promise fun weekends with BBQ pits, family gatherings and throwback vibes.

Chalets in Singapore are our ultimate hack for staycation in singapore on a budget. We’ve talked about hotels in Singapore, the best serviced apartments in Singapore, and even glamping spots in Asia. But what if you could skip over all those travel expenses? The bungalow chalets here are just as good without the added plane ticket costs. Plus, they’re great for hosting large-scale parties with big groups too. Read on for the lowdown on types of chalets, costs, how to book them, and more.

We highly recommend making plans in advance so you can snag your desired dates!

Whenever we feel like we need a break from city living, we pack our bags for a farmstay at Gardenasia’s villas. Located in the Kranji Countryside, we recommend this chalet in Singapore for anyone who can vibe with nature.

5. Civil Service Club @ Changi I & II

Single suites, family suites, villas, and bungalows? We’re always spoiled for choice with the selection of stays at the Civil Service Club (CSC). This clubhouse is a beachfront getaway and staycay destination all rolled into one. We hear that the biggest unit is more than six times the size of an average five-room flat! The pool is exclusive to CSC members and chalet guests, so you don’t have to worry about a crowd.

If we need a more secluded stay, we normally look at the options under CSC @ Changi II. Netheravon Terraces is located further along Netheravon Road. It’s a little out of the way, but still accessible by public bus (though it does get a little spooky at night, if you ask us). For bigger parties with friends, we recommend going for the Fairy Point bungalow. The unit is bigger and has tons of outdoor space to accommodate our plethora of guests.

Best for: Parties; barbecue gatherings; big family get-togethers

But fret not, members of the public are also free to book the chalets here! Each bungalow comes with cosy bedrooms and spacious living areas.

While membership is exclusive to military experts, the chalets here are free to book for everyone, and we take full advantage of its off-peak rates.

Whether it’s a get-together, family holiday, or just a little self-care staycay, D’Resort’s got us covered. We once splurged on the Rainforest Suite for an ultra-luxe, romantic getaway and just never left the room because of how plush the bed was. And the spa-like bathroom amenities?
