Are you ready for the long weekend?
1. Grand Hyatt Singapore Unveils Accredited Yoga Alliance Training Programmes
For a calmer, more intentional start to the weekend, Damai at Grand Hyatt Singapore offers a polished wellness escape that feels far removed from the usual rush of Orchard Road.
Located at Grand Hyatt, Damai is positioning itself as more than a spa, with Yoga Alliance-accredited training programmes led by master trainer Jimin Choi returning in an expanded 2026 format. While some programmes are scheduled later in the year, including the 25-hour Wall Yoga CET Retreat from 1 to 4 May 2026, the weekend is a good moment to discover Damai’s broader wellness direction and consider whether its structured yoga retreats fit into your year.
Expect a more immersive approach than a drop-in studio class, with wall yoga, chair yoga, anatomy-informed teaching, restorative movement, and access to wellness facilities such as hydrotherapy and garden-pool spaces.
For enquiries, contact Damai at +65 6416 7132 or damai.sg@hyatt.com.
2. Museum of Ice Cream teams up with Curiosity Kids for the Magic Bubble Science Lab
Museum of Ice Cream is already one of Singapore’s most playful indoor attractions, but this May, it gets an added STEM twist with the Magic Bubble Science Lab, created in collaboration with Curiosity Kids.
Running on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout May at 3pm, 4pm and 5pm, the 30-minute workshop is designed for children aged 4 to 11 and turns bubbles, colour and simple reactions into a hands-on science session. It is a clever option for families who want something cheerful, sheltered and educational without making the day feel too academic. Children are provided with materials, lab coats and goggles, while educators guide them through experiments that make science feel visual and approachable.
Tickets are priced at S$67 for bundled General Admission and workshop access, S$25 for a standalone non-member workshop entry, and S$20 for members. Annual MOIC membership costs S$62 and is useful for families who expect repeat visits.

SUSHISAMBA Singapore is a strong weekend choice if you want dinner to feel like an occasion rather than just another meal.
Perched on Level 52 of Capital Tower, the restaurant sits high above the CBD, offering panoramic city views, making it especially attractive for sunset dining, Saturday brunch, or a polished night out. Its refreshed à la carte menu keeps the brand’s Japanese, Peruvian and Brazilian identity, with new SAMBA rolls, Hokkaido uni, seafood ceviche, robata-grilled dishes, and plant-forward plates such as miso eggplant and roasted cauliflower.
The Copacabana Brunch runs on Saturdays from 12pm to 3pm, with prices starting from S$160++ per guest, while the Vivo Business Lunch on weekdays starts from S$48++. For a weekend mood, the appeal lies in the combination of sushi, grilled mains, skyline views, and a high-energy dining room that feels celebratory without a special occasion.

8. Make It a Casual East Coast Feast at The Winery Gourmet Bar
The Winery Gourmet Bar is a strong weekend pick for those who prefer a relaxed neighbourhood meal with generous, satisfying dishes over a formal dining experience.

The space leans into modern European cooking, complemented by a walk-in retail wine cellar, private dining rooms, and a menu suited for both casual catch-ups and leisurely long lunches. While it is a wine-focused venue, alcohol-related promotions are reserved for guests of legal drinking age, and the main draw this weekend remains the food, easy convivial atmosphere, and East Coast convenience.
The Winery Gourmet Bar is located at 907 East Coast Road, #01 03 Springvale, Singapore 459107.
