With the June holidays just around the corner, it may be time to start cooking up plans for a much-needed respite. What better way to unwind than to spend time with your loved ones in a spacious chalet? Beyond just comfy beds, chalets are usually located in scenic parts of Singapore, offering stunning views. They also have a range of amenities, like BBQ pits and relaxing pools. If you’re looking for a rejuvenating staycation, check out my 8 favourite chalets in Singapore.
The best chalets in Singapore
01 • Civil Service Club (CSC) @ Changi II: Changi Cottage
Located just a stone’s throw away from Changi Beach Park, the Changi Cottage is perfect for a fun-filled beach getaway. This double-storey chalet can sleep 6 people overnight, and has enough space for up to 40 people. With a private courtyard that has direct access to the beach, you can bask in the sights and sounds of the beach, and still return to the comfort of the air-conditioned living room.
If you’re in the mood for BBQ, the Changi Cottage has got you covered! Like the rest of the Changi Chalets, it comes with sheltered BBQ pits, so you can cook up a feast all while under the protection of Singapore’s sweltering heat.
Rates for the holiday period are $551.66 for members and $794.39 for the public.

02 • CSC @ Changi II: Fairy Point
Take a walk further down Changi Boardwalk and you’ll find Fairy Point, a vintage colonial chalet straight out of the 1920s.
This scenic spot contains a wide range of chalets steeped in history, having once been residences for senior British officials. While the other Changi chalets pack ample space, the Fairy Point chalets take it a step further by offering all the elbow room you could ask for. The Chalet 7, in particular, is one of the biggest chalets in Singapore. It boasts an impressive 697 square feet of space. That’s bigger than 6 five-room HDB flats!
Rates for the holiday period start from $615.81 for members and $886.76 for the public.

Right at the periphery of Bedok Reservoir, the East Villa is flanked by splendid views of the reservoir on one side and lush vegetation on the other. Its rooms are furnished with clear glass windows for you to take in the sweeping views.
Take a stroll along Bedok Reservoir Park or try your hand at kayaking at PAssion Wave to sweeten your stay! Each booking also comes with 4 access passes to the Fitness Workz Garage Gym if you want even more ways to break a sweat.

Both the Deluxe and the Superior bungalows can accommodate up to 16 guests across 4 bedrooms. Each bungalow has a sleek, minimalistic design that offers plenty of room and comes with its own BBQ pit.
Enhance your staycation by participating in the many activities at this chalet. Channel your inner Hawkeye at the archery court or sit down for a fresh seafood feast at the prawning and fishing pond.
If you’re in the mood to sweat it out, the multi-purpose court provides a space for sports buffs. Kids deserve their share of fun, too, so remember to take them to the playgrounds for some fun bonding time.

06 • THE CHEVRONS
I know the East side is the best side, but you can also find amazing chalets elsewhere in Singapore. Cue THE CHEVRONS. Located within walking distance from Jurong East MRT station, THE CHEVRONS offers a line of cosy chalets with a dazzling poolside view. Its convenient location makes it the perfect chalet for large gatherings and parties.
If you love playing mahjong, you can also bring your tiles and challenge your ah ma to an intense battle.
But the most attractive part of THE CHEVRONS chalets is their bang-for-your-buck rates. Check out the 3D2N packages that are affordably priced at $390 for members and $620 for the public during the June holidays.

07 • HomeTeamNS: Bukit Batok West Villa
Another great chalet for our Westies is the Bukit Batok West Villa. These snug spots can sleep up to 5 guests, making them perfect for families. Nestled near Bukit Gombak MRT station, this chalet can be your stay as you take hikes through the nearby picturesque parks or enjoy the soothing sights of Little Guilin. If that’s not your cup of tea, you can always head down to HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok for family activities like bowling or laser tag. When the sun retreats for the day, plan a chaotic game night by renting mahjong sets or game consoles (for Premier Deluxe only).

08 • Eagle's Lodge at St. John's Island
Feeling extra adventurous? Take a trip to St. John’s Island and complete your experience with a stay at the Eagle’s Lodge. This is not your typical Singapore chalet; it provides you with the opportunity to escape the concrete jungle of the mainland. The lodge sleeps up to 10 people in single beds for a ridiculously affordable price of $27.25 per day on weekdays and $54.50 on weekends.
While humbler than the rest of the chalets in Singapore, a staycation at Eagle’s Lodge allows you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the island. Bike around with a constant view of the sea or even take a dip in the swimming lagoon to complete your rustic experience.
After seeing all St. John’s Island has to offer, you can also head across the bridge to Lazarus Island to do more exploring.
📍 Address: 14 St John's Island, Singapore 098599
