A resort made of decommissioned buses will be born in Singapore

A resort made of decommissioned buses? No, it's not a movie. Nor is it a somewhat gloomy-looking location. Instead, it is a luxury resort, to be built in the heart of Singapore. Twenty decommissioned public buses will come back to life and become rooms for a new and original resort in Changi Village.

What we know about the resort made of decommissioned buses

Provisionally called The Bus Resort, WTS Travel agency's project will be located near the famous Changi Village Hawker Center and will cover about 8,600 square meters. The unveiling ceremony of the project was held last August 28, attended by several dignitaries.

"For our new project The Bus Resort, we are deeply honored and excited to undertake the joint venture with our partners LHN Group and Skywin Holdings," reads WTS Travel's social profiles. LHN Group has been in the residential and industrial design business since 1991, while Skywin Holdings has been with WTS Travel since its inception.

Philip Raj, hospitality consultant for WTS Travel, said the idea for a resort made out of old buses came about two years ago during discussions on how to turn things around following the decline in travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic. From the desire to have guests experience something different, the idea for the resort was arrived at.

The price of the rooms is expected to be around the 300-400 dollars per night.

Changi Village, a little gem away from the hustle and bustle of the city

For those who want to get away a bit from the hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore, Changi Village is the perfect place. With that traditional village atmosphere, although the kampong houses are gone now, it is a place rich in history (Japanese prisoners were held here during World War II).

Here are the places not to miss:

• Changi Chapel & Museum, with over 5,000 documents and items belonging to the prisoners;
• Johore Battery, life-size replica of the British artillery defense net (the cannons, placed 500 meters away, have a barrel length of 16.5 meters);
• its wilderness, to be explored through an eco-tour by kayak;
• Pulau Ubin, small island that can be reached in 10 minutes by boat from Changi Village;
• Smith Marine, a floating restaurant (it can be reached by a 15-minute boat ride) that serves farmed fish on the table.

A must-visit destination for those coming to Singapore, among its stay options Changi Village will now offer the original resort made of decommissioned buses.
