Commit to a reset for the new year at Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore
There are countless ways to mark a fresh start. You could buy a new planner, sign up for a gym membership, or make a renewed promise to slow down. Or you could choose something more memorable and retreat to a place that helps reset your mind, body, and game at the same time.
Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore offers exactly that, presenting renewal in shades of green. Set within Laguna National Golf Resort Club, just 10 minutes from Changi Airport and 15 minutes from downtown, the resort combines a serene golf-front setting with contemporary Asian design across 198 rooms and suites. Recently named Singapore’s Best Golf Hotel 2025 by the World Golf Awards for the fourth consecutive year, it continues to attract serious golfers and discerning travellers seeking to begin again with style and intent.
The resort’s Stay & Play Package functions as an effortless reset. Check in and everything you need to reconnect with your swing has already been arranged. The experience includes an 18-hole round on either the Masters or Classic course, a GPS buggy, access to the Short Game Practice Area and changing room facilities, breakfast for up to two at Greenhouse, a S$30 dining credit, and other thoughtful inclusions.
Your room key effectively becomes a pass to a members-only golf club that’s one of the most established in Asia. It is a getaway that suits a solo skills reboot, a couple’s escape, or a weekend with your regular fourball.
Two paths to renewal
On the Classic Course, which is known as The Beast for good reason, renewal comes from stepping outside your comfort zone. This bunker-dotted layout unfolds across a challenging hilly terrain that is virtually unmatched in Singapore. With more than 146 bunkers, undulating greens, and five water features, it can be moderated for juniors or stretched to 7,471 yards for professionals, reinforcing the idea that growth often comes from taking on something that’s slightly beyond your range.
By contrast, the Masters Course, which is affectionately referred to as The Grand Old Lady, offers a different interpretation of renewal. For almost three decades, its Andy Dye-sculpted fairways, fast Bermuda greens, mature raintrees, and reflective lakes have rewarded precision and strategic course management over force. It is a place to refine your game rather than reinvent it, a fitting metaphor for entering a new year with a focus on sharpening what you already do well.
Renewal continues beyond the final putt. Back at the resort, three pools, tennis courts, and Devarana Wellness offer further ways to recover, whether through Thai-inspired treatments or unhurried afternoons by the water.
Greenhouse, the all-day restaurant, recently introduced a new a la carte menu that reimagines beloved iconic global dishes. Additionally, its buffet experience features five live-show kitchens serve dishes from Thailand, Japan, India, the Mediterranean, and China, accompanied by panoramic views across the Masters Course.
The promise of Stay & Play is straightforward. Start the year as you intend to continue it, with more time outdoors, more deliberate movement, better rest, and the deeply satisfying feeling of investing in both your game and your well-being. Trading a crowded party for a beautifully maintained fairway feels like a worthwhile upgrade.
