Tucked into leafy Changi Village, The Bus Collective is Southeast Asia’s first resort built inside retired SBS public buses. Each bus has been upgraded into a 45 sqm suite, with marble countertops, rain showers, bathtubs, luxurious beds, and original driver seats and steering wheels intact—it’s nostalgia meets comfort on wheels .
I stayed in one of the family-friendly layouts, parked riverside. The space felt polished and practical, with a comfy sofa bed, smart TV, strong Wi‑Fi (though occasional dropouts were reported), and a handy kitchenette (). The driver’s seat became a playful favourite—great for kids—or for reliving childhood bus rides.
The outdoor patio was easily the highlight—complete with a barbecue pit, dining table, parasol, and view of watching planes land nearby. Evenings spent grilling satay and seafood felt delightfully laid‑back. If you prefer local hawker fare, the famous Changi Village Hawker Centre is a two‑minute walk through a gated entrance .
Most guests loved the vibe: peaceful, family‑friendly, and playful. Reviews praise the novelty, friendly staff, clean rooms and memorable BBQ nights under the sky . Scores hover around 8–9/10—a unique staycation experience close to both nature and the airport.
If you’re chasing a staycation that’s part quirky adventure, part comfort retreat, The Bus Collective delivers. It’s not ultra‑luxury, and space is snug—but it’s playful, memorable, and ideal for families or anyone who’s ever dreamed of sleeping in a bus. Just don’t arrive expecting a condo‑sized suite—or soundless silence.
