Spas and F&B Establishments (Including Bars) Within Hotels Allowed to Operate from 19 June 2020 - Self-Service Buffets Not Allowed
As part of Phase 2 of Singapore's reopening, most of the facilities located within hotels (including the spa, swimming pools, gyms, as well as F&B outlets) will be allowed to operate from 19 June 2020 but adherence to safe-distancing measures stated in Enterprise Singapore’s (ESG’s) advisory will be required. However, self-service buffets must still be suspended according to the latest Advisory for Phase 2 Re-opening of Food & Beverage Establishments.

Hotels have started to communicate restaurant and spa openings ahead of time - both Yan Ting and Brasserie Les Saveurs at The St. Regis Singapore will officially allow guests to dine-in from 19 June 2020 (Friday). Additionally, the luxurious Remède Spa will also resume operations on the same day so guests can enjoy pampering treatments within the beautiful location. While F&B establishments and bars within hotels will be allowed to operate - liquor sales and consumption must cease by 10:30 PM. Self-service buffets must be suspended during Phase 2 of Singapore's reopening but looking at luxury hotels in neighbouring countries, it is highly probable that hotels will start offering an à la carte buffet experience soon - dining parties should not exceed 5 people per table.

At the time of writing, staycations will still not be allowed in the early stages of Phase 2 of Singapore's reopening but it is the general expectation (based on speculation) is that hotels will start accepting reservations from local residents in this phase at a later date. More details regarding staycations in Phase 2 will be shared once it becomes available.
Planning a beach day can seem simple, but unexpected issues often arise. Mornington Peninsula’s beaches are popular, which means dealing with potential crowds, fluctuating weather, and poor preparation can easily ruin your outing. Arriving late might lead to parking challenges, and picking the wrong beach can limit your planned activities. Many forget important items that could make or break their beach experience, leading to stress and missed opportunities for relaxation.
