At a certain point, it’s not about the things you buy, but more so the memories forged together that holds more meaning. Here are some experiences to share with Dad this Father’s Day
We’ve celebrated the queens of the family. Now, it’s time to honour the often unsung heroes: our dads. Whether they’re quietly supportive or delightfully dorky, they certainly deserve their moment too. If you’re still hunting for the perfect gift, these gift guides should give you some ideas. For those who prefer moments over mementoes, fret not; we’ve got you covered too. From adrenaline-filled adventures to laid-back bonding experiences, here are some non-gift ideas for this Father’s Day.
Dine & Drive with Porsche
For the dads who dream in horsepower and precision, this one’s hard to beat. From now until 30 June, Teatime Dreams at Mandarin Oriental Singapore offers a luxurious afternoon tea experience (S$68 per head), co-created with Porsche. The set featuring savoury treats like beer-braised Beef Medley and a Fruity Nutty mousse cake shaped like the iconic Porsche crest.
Come Father’s Day weekend (14 and 15 June), things kick into high gear: Dad can enjoy the same indulgent tea at S$78, and take the wheel of a Porsche 911 or Taycan for an unforgettable 30-minute spin. He’ll also leave with a complimentary copy of the Singapore edition Curves magazine. Consider it the ultimate blend of finesse and fuel. Book here.
Resort-style calm at Goodwood Park Hotel
For the dad who just wants quality time with his favourite people, this relaxed city-centre staycation hits the sweet spot. Goodwood Park Hotel’s A Fam-tastic Escapade package (from S$328++ per night) is made for unwinding together; think resort-style calm, two outdoor pools, and elegant rooms in a heritage setting just off Orchard Road. Available over Father’s Day weekend, the package includes breakfast at Coffee Lounge, dining credits, and adorable plush toys for the kids. With perks like complimentary dining for children under 12 (with two paying adults) and 15% off a la carte menus, it’s a fuss-free way to treat Dad to some well-earned downtime. Book here.
A different kind of party at Marquee Singapore
If Dad’s one who hasn’t hung up his dancing shoes, Marquee Singapore’s June line-up is the ultimate way to celebrate. From genre-blurring sets by TPA (6 June) and melodic bass icon Seven Lions (20 June), the award-winning nightclub is pulling out all the stops this Father’s Day season. Other must-catch acts include Swedish DJ KAAZE (27 June) and Dutch crowd-favourite Sam Feldt (28 June), plus the launch of FTW!, a new midweek blowout on 11 June featuring open bar hours and party anthems aplenty. For the dad who’d rather have memories on the dancefloor than socks in a box, this is the place to be. Tickets available online, with free-flow drink options from S$98.
A taste of luxury residential living at St. Regis Singapore
Here’s something that offers a taste of the timeless and elegant: St. Regis Singapore’s Exquisite Stays Redefined package offers an indulgent city escape to mark the occasion. Fresh off a stunning transformation by FBEYE International, the hotel’s newly reimagined rooms (inspired by the neighbouring Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site) blend refined botanical motifs with heritage luxury. The experience includes the brand’s signature butler service, daily buffet breakfast, and a complimentary Aperitivo Hour for two. Come June, Dad can also unwind in the newly unveiled Tea Room, a serene summer garden–inspired space perfect for a quiet afternoon moment. If you’re after old-world charm with modern finesse, this is the staycation to book.
A trip to a secret paradise in Tanjung Kelayang Reserve
Dreaming of Father’s Day experiences that are a little more special and off the beaten path? Forget Bali; set your sights instead on Belitung Island, home to the stunning Tanjung Kelayang Reserve. Just a short flight from Jakarta, this UNESCO Global Geopark is one of the world’s most sustainable destinations, offering an untouched blend of natural beauty, cultural depth, and eco-conscious design. Stay at the Sheraton Belitung Resort or the ultra-private Billiton Ekobeach Retreat, then explore the island through guided nature treks, island-hopping adventures, and BlueMind Experiences—therapeutic, water-based activities designed to restore calm and clarity. With fresh seafood markets, beachfront omakase, and even rare sightings of the elusive Tarsius primate, this is a Father’s Day getaway that’s about as unforgettable as it is grounding.
