This year, many have the option of choosing between a staycation or trip for National Day Singapore 2022. These days, everyone is excited to travel the world and see beautiful sights more than ever. However, in 2022, some people do still opt for rest and relaxation every once in a while. 

For this National Day Singapore in 2022, what is your pick? We at Venuerific will help you hash out your options—giving you the best National Day activities in and out of Singapore for 2022.

1. National Day Singapore 2022 – Singapore Staycation: “Dazzling Fireworks Show” at Grand Park City Hall

Hailed as an architectural and design gem, the Grand Park City Hall is truly one of the best places you can have your National Day staycation in Singapore. Located in the Central Business District of the country with 10-storeys, this offers a beautiful view of the day’s festivities.

Its unblocked view of Marina Bay from the rooftop makes it the perfect spot for the National Day Parade (NDP 2022) on 30 July and 9 August. Have front row seats while dining in comfort and style by booking their “A Dazzling Moment with Us this National Day” promo! 

To do this, you have to reserve tables for dinner from 7pm to 11pm for a maximum of 4 people. For both days, each reserved table will have a bottle of G.H. Mumm champagne or a bottle of house-pour spirits as well as Nachos with Cheese Dip, Truffle Fries and Crispy Chicken Wings.

Singapore Trip: Escape to the National Orchid Garden

Flowers are always a sight to behold, so why not have National Day activities around some? 

Consider taking a peaceful within-Singapore trip at the National Orchid Garden, home to thousands of stunning orchids—some unique to Singapore and others hidden gems from around the world. This is available for viewing in the uppermost hill of Singapore Botanic Gardens, and is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in the tourist spot.

Head on to their Tan Hoon Siang Mist House, which houses their rarest species of orchids. Vibrant and alive, this spot is the perfect place to take photos, relax, and enjoy the tranquility of National Day in Singapore 2022. (Who knows? Maybe you can even make new friends in this tourist destination—add it to your “National Day activities” list!)

2. National Day Singapore 2022 – Singapore Staycation: “National Day Fireworks Package 2022” at Pan Pacific Singapore

As one of the country’s prime spots for a luxurious stay, it’s no surprise that Pan Pacific Singapore made it to the list. Their “National Day Fireworks Package 2022” makes a National Day staycation a great idea for you and your family! 

Book one of this promotion’s well-appointed rooms and enjoy a spectacular view of fireworks on National Day. This is available for room categories from Deluxe Balcony and above only. Its included amenities are a complimentary breakfast for up to 2 adults, high speed internet, and access to a fitness centre. If you’re with your family looking for National Day fireworks 2022, you should definitely turn to Pan Pacific Singapore!

Philippines Trip: Visit Chocolate Hills in Bohol!

Most of the time, when people visit the Philippines, the main go-to spot is Boracay. There’s nothing wrong with that—but have you checked out Bohol? Located in the same Visayas region, Bohol is around an hour away by flight from the country’s capital, Manila. 

The region is best known for a seasonal phenomena where the hills turn a shade of mint green. Thus is it called “Chocolate Hills.” This happens especially during dry season—but even without the iconic shade of brown, these hills are still a sight to behold! From here, turn your National Day Singapore Activities into a tropical escape. Swim with whales, check out one of the smallest animals in the world (a tarsier!), and have a bag of peanut kisses!

3. National Day Singapore 2022 – Singapore Staycation: “A Symphony of Flavours” at InterContinental Singapore

You may also consider booking your National Day staycation in Singapore at InterContinental Singapore. Home of thousands of social events, it is no surprise that they also offer a special promotion for National Day Singapore 2022. 

Their “A Symphony of Flavours” promotion has 6 different kinds of National Day promotions. Each furthering the hotel’s goal of helping you uncover the local culinary influences of the country. 

Dive into Singapore’s melting pot of food culture with Executive Pastry Chef Desmond Lee’s National Day Afternoon Tea (August 6 – 9). How about ordering their limited edition “Tropical Gem” Cocktail at The Lobby Lounge (15 July – 14 August) or the Luce Salute at LUCE by Davide Giacomelli (1 – 15 August)? 

For the absolute foodies, spruce up your National Day staycation in Singapore with Premium Heritage Laksa from Sous Chef Sherine. You can also join a 4-course lunch from Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan! Both run from 1 to 9 August and both are special takes on local Singaporean cuisine. 

Malaysia Trip: Go on a Malaysian food crawl!

Despite the amazing offers above, some people just want to match food and travel together—yes?

If there’s anything remarkable about SEA, it’s the delicious and unique street food you come by in every country you visit. Malaysia is no different. Take an out of country trip to Malaysia and go on a street food crawl—starting with a hearty meal of nasi lemak with a side of satay. A tip: one of the best in the country is Nasi Lemak Angah, which started out from a small kiosk near an LRT station. 

You may think that the food between Singapore and Malaysia taste the same, but a short trip out of the country will definitely highlight the differences between the two cuisines. Many reported that dishes such as the Bak kut teh, Hokkien Mee, and Laksa taste and look different!

4. National Day Singapore 2022 – Singapore Staycation: “Skyline National Day Celebration” at ParkRoyal

ParkRoyal, located in downtown Singapore, is designed to be an escape for business and for leisure. For your National Day staycation in Singapore, you definitely want to focus on the latter. 

Avail of their “Skyline National Day Celebration” to up the ante on your celebration! Book a Signature Marina Bay room under this promo and you will have guaranteed access to a world-class view on National Day! 

Other included amenities under this promo are access to the wellness floor (which has an outdoor swimming pool, gym, and spin studio) and complimentary parking for one vehicle per room per day. Park Royal also promises special National Day activities, which you will learn more of as the special day arrives. Hurry! As this promo is valid only from April 9, 2022 to August 9, 2022.

Indonesia Trip: Go surfing in Bali!

The rest of the world knows Bali, Indonesia for its gorgeous beaches and cultural spots. However, it is also actually one of the best places in the world for surfing. Offering the most unique surfing breaks, Bali has both professional-level (Uluwatu and Padang Padang Left) and beginner surf spots (Uluwatu and Padang Padang Right). 

Bali is also known as one of the ultimate surfer playgrounds. It can provide you an escape from reality, making the most out of your holiday. Remember that the best months to surf in Bali are May to September, so this is definitely one of the best Singapore National Day 2022 activities you should explore.

5. National Day Singapore 2022 – Singapore Staycation: Special Promos at M Social Singapore, Beast & Butterflies

Book your National Day staycation at M Social Singapore and enjoy promotions at Beast & Butterflies! While they may not have their “Together A Stronger Singapore” promotion from 2020, they do have special everyday promos.
