CNY Escapes

Ooh! Long weekend alert! Plan ahead, darlings!

Skip town on the night of 23 January (with or without the kids) and stay hidden over the CNY madness on 26 – 27 Jan. That’s 4 days out of town, Ladies! Where to go?

Check out these two packages:

For the stylish and swanky, head up the hills to Uma Ubud in Bali, a to-die-for exquisite COMO resort for a little ‘dirty’ weekend away that don’t we all deserve? Their CNY two-night package starts from US$630 for two with breakfast, a lunch at the Kemiri Restaurant, private airport transfers and an indulgent 60 minute Shambala or Indonesian massage.

The three-night package is more worth it, starting from US$965 with an added three-hour guided tour of Ubud.

The deal starts 7-31 January.

If you’re lugging the kids, head to Shaanxi in China. Subzero temperatures nothwithstanding, a dose of healthy history may not be a bad thing.

The Grand Park Xian’s 4D/3N Ancient Xian Winter Exploration Tour (S$621 per person until end February) includes day trips to some of the ancient city’s top attractions including the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, and the Hanguangmen Museum which features 1,400 year old artefacts and located near the starting point of the famous Silk Road and a trip to Yuanjiacun town for a taste of the countryside. Other goodies include breakfast, a gut-stuffing 11-course dinner of Xian delicacies, and for an additional S$120 you get to go a-skiing at Xian Cui Hua Mountains.
