Plus, it’s got USB ports and plugs conveniently placed by the bed and table. I can keep up with my social media while cosily tucked in.

The Vagabond Club may look unassuming from the outside, but once I stepped in, I was captivated. With its unique charm and eclectic decor, it stands out from other boutique hotels in Singapore I’ve been to.
For one thing, the lobby features a golden elephant and a bar flanked by a brass monkey and banyan tree, evoking a mysterious jungle-meets-opulent-safari vibe.
Despite its boutique size, the rooms are surprisingly spacious starting at 20 square metres. Each room exudes a wanderer spirit, adorned with exotic locale photographs and retro touches.

Little touches like a charcuterie board and lavender sachets enhanced the relaxation experience, making it a memorable stay. I honestly never wanted to leave!

It’s perfect for adventurous staycationers since no room is alike.
I stayed in a seductively dark room with a giant four-poster bed—perhaps a nod to the past opium dens. It’s all so mysterious yet comfy at the same time.

I actually woke up to peacocks on the stone pavements outside my Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa suite. How’s that for a unique staycation right smack in Singapore?
The 4-poster bed in my room was stunning, with fluffy pillows and dreamy white drapes making me feel like a Disney Princess. The room’s wooden accents and carefully chosen decor add to the ambience.
