Top destinations to explore this festive season!
This festive season, why not take your travels a little further and create memories beyond the usual balik kampung routine? If you’ve been craving a change of scenery, here’s where you could head:
1) International spots to check out
- Cebu: Swim, snorkel, and soak in the views
Bantayan Island
Whale sharks at Oslob
Imagine waking up on a festive morning to clear blue waters and nothing on your schedule except island time. In Cebu, you can unwind on the white sands of Bantayan Island, tick off a bucket-list moment swimming alongside whale sharks in Oslob.
- Krabi: A serene holiday retreat
Emerald pool
Hong Island
Krabi walking night market
If this festive season has been feeling a little too rushed lately, Krabi might be your chance to slow everything down. No traffic, no back-to-back house visits, just greenery all around and time to really breathe.
Start with a dip in the Emerald Pool, a natural oasis hidden in the rainforest. Then take a short boat ride to Hong Island, where clear blue waters and dramatic cliffs instantly make you feel miles away from everything.
End the day at the Krabi Walking Street Night Market, snacking on local bites and picking up small souvenirs. Slow and simple, a different kind of holiday, in the best way.
- Singapore: A vibrant city getaway
Waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport
Sentosa Island
Bazaar Raya Geylang
If you’re looking for a festive escape that’s close to home, Singapore is the perfect pick. Start your day at the Jewel Changi Airport and catch the giant indoor waterfall — it’s a sight you won’t forget. Then, spend your holiday afternoon relaxing by the beach at Sentosa Island, enjoying fun rides, or just soaking up the sun with family and friends.
For a festive vibe, don’t miss Geylang Serai Market. The streets come alive with colourful lights, traditional decorations, and the smell of delicious treats like ketupat, lemang, and kuih.
2) Closer-to-home favourites
- Penang: Heritage, street art, and foodie delights
Cheong Fatt Tze
Armenian Street
Clan Jetties
Penang is perfect for a nostalgic festive escape, especially if you love culture and food. Wear your best traditional outfits and take a stroll around the scenic streets, or snap your holiday OOTDs at beautifully preserved historic buildings like Cheong Fatt Tze, also known as The Blue Mansion. Wander through Armenian Street and the nearby Clan Jetties to admire classic architecture, street art, and discover hidden cafés — perfect for festive photos.
Follow the sizzling aroma of char kuey teow, asam laksa, and other local favourites to discover Penang’s legendary eats. As evening falls, head over to Straits Quay, where the waterfront comes alive with festive bazaars, vibrant lights, and cultural celebrations.
