Get the gang together for a little escapade and some quality family time over the border in Johor, Malaysia at Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour, Johor (Formerly Traders). Start off by catching some zzzzzs in one of the 283 sleek and plush rooms and suites of this four-star hotel, or by lazing on one of the comfortable sunbeds by the infinity pool.

Once those batteries are recharged, head out to the adjacent Red Cube, the family-friendly complex housing a host of al fresco restaurants and retail outlets. For more thrills and spills the next day (and if everyone can still muster enough energy), get on board the complimentary 20-minute shuttle to Legoland Malaysia, before joining the frenetic hordes returning to Singapore.

What a brilliant break!
