Who
The only one of the three Civil Service Clubs in Singapore (Club CSC @ Bukit Batok, Club CSC @ Tessensohn and Club CSC @ Changi) that offers premium accommodations for staycations. Refreshed CSC@Changi have tripled its original size that offers comprehensive villas/suites and a myriad of facilities catered to public and members.

Where
Situated along the street of Netheravon Road, right opposite Changi Village Hotel. It is an interesting discovery amidst the Changi’s prominent cafes liked Chock Full of Beans, The Wine Company or Little Island cafe. Any time of the day you could get your delish local delights right down the road with convenient stores for BBQ stock ups and happy hours at night. Or if you just want to go with authentic local food, nasi lemak, seafood “zicha”, and ba chou mee are easily found at the charming Changi Village Food center at really affordable prices!
However, don’t miss out on the lovely restaurants within CSC@Changi, you might just be surprised by the good people at Meyer House Resturant and bar and Hornbill The poolside cafe operated by the same folks of The Costal Settlement actually have some fab dishes that personally we love to travel back to cover the whole menu!
Reactional Facilities
Compare to any other clubhouse, CSC@Changi has got its unique facilities liked a new glow-in-the-dark 20-lane bowling centre operated by Resort Bowl, fully equipped bicycle gym operated by The Facility by Swim Bike Run and even a manjong room near the housekeeping room by the lifts to the suites.
Since you are here for a staycation, why not step out to explore and sightsee with the pack. Head east to Changi Point Coastal Walk features stunning views of sunset and have a romantic stroll between the resort and the coastline at night for some quality time spent. Alternatively avid riders can hit the road along the 3.5 km Loyang Park Connector right outside of the Clubhouse to get on some riding thrills.

Accommodation
Escape to nature with the family in their 6 fantastic type of villas/suites (Superior Suite, Deluxe Suite, Family Suite, Superior Villa, Deluxe Villa, Premier Villa) all surrounded by sand, sea and sunshine.

It’s everyone’s perfect dream staycation to unwind and relax in a serene ambience without lashing on air tickets.Here we go with our 4 favourite picks which will get you in the mood for an awesome seaside escape with the family – PLUS exclusive perks for our readers!
