Trips\u00a0from Singapore Under $800<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Melbourne<\/a>: 5D4N from $687<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

A dose of laid-back Aussie lifestyle beckons in cosmopolitan Melbourne, where tiny cafes and vintage boutiques await in the city\u2019s numerous laneways. The Victorian capital is known as a cultural hub \u2013 thanks to its host of excellent museums and performing arts centres in the Southbank district \u2013 as well as a foodie destination with its large selection of critically acclaimed restaurants.<\/p>\n

The Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Melbourne<\/a> is ideally located right by the architecturally inspiring Federation Square and makes a good base for exploring the city centre. Or check out the Quest on Chapel<\/a> in chic South Yarra, which is close to the Royal Botanic Gardens and famous St Kilda Beach.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seoul<\/a>: 5D4N from $775<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Get a crash course in all things K-pop with a trip to funky Seoul where you can dine on scrumptious Korean food, shop for the trendiest fashion apparel and beauty products, and even visit the locations where your favourite dramas were filmed. Stay in the hipster Hongdae neighbourhood, which is filled with charming cafes and cool boutiques \u2013 perfect for people watching and to pick up style tips from its fashionable denizens!<\/p>\n

The Mono House Hongdae<\/a> is stylishly furnished in pleasing tones of greys and whites and close to attractions such as the Trick Eye Museum and Hongdae Music Show Theatre. Another well-designed boutique hotel to check out is Hotel The Designers Hongdae<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nuwara Eliya<\/a>: 5D4N from $648<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Explore the charming highlands and tea plantations of scenic Sri Lanka at Nuwara Eliya. Commonly known as \u2018Little England\u2019, this picture-perfect hill town is dotted with colonial-style bungalows for that Instagram moment.<\/p>\n

We love the homey Langdale by Amaya<\/a>, which is located on a tea plantation, offering gorgeous 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside. For a nostalgic throwback to glamorous colonial days, stay at the Mandira Strathdon Bungalow<\/a>, where you\u2019ll still be able to find modern luxuries such as deep soaking tubs and free Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

Dubai<\/a>: 4D3N from $789<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

With soaring skyscrapers and endless entertainment options ranging from theme parks for the family to glitzy restaurants and bars for the adults to party the night away, Dubai is synonymous with ultra-modern luxury. Yet exploring the wealth of the city need not put a hole in your pocket, even if you stay in a five-star hotel.<\/p>\n

The family-friendly M\u00f6venpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers<\/a>, which offers panoramic views of the cityscape, is located in the entertainment district and is close to the iconic Palm Jumeirah. In downtown Dubai, stay at Crowne Plaza Dubai<\/a> \u2013 a short distance from the famous Dubai Mall and the Gold Souk \u2013 if you are after an authentic Middle Eastern experience.<\/p>\n

Okinawa<\/a>: 5D4N from $780<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Experience a unique side to Japan in sunny Okinawa, which is known for its tropical climate, miles of beaches and its one-of-a-kind indigenous culture, which dates back centuries. The capital city Naha is a good place to base your stay as it offers plenty of modern-city comforts while still being a stone\u2019s throw from breathtaking beaches and crystal-clear waters.<\/p>\n

The four-star Okinawa NaHaNa Hotel & Spa<\/a> is centrally located in the heart of Naha and has an on-site spa for those who are after some Japanese-style TLC. Alternatively, the newly renovated Okinawa Kariyushi Urban Resort Naha<\/a> is within walking distance of the Tomari Port and offers shuttle services to the beach.<\/p>\n
