Deepavali 2026 falls on a Sunday, so most of Singapore gets Monday 9 November too. Three days reaches most of Southeast Asia nonstop, and four leave days opens the longer routes. Every other 2026 break is in our Singapore long weekends guide.
Where to stay for the break
One pick on price, one on guest score, one a step up in class. The full list is far longer and changes daily.

Singapore is the no-flight option, so a staycation costs you the room alone. It is also the dearest bed here: two nights cost about what the flight to Kuala Lumpur does. In every city you would fly to, both nights come in under the fare.
Questions
When is Deepavali 2026 in Singapore?
Deepavali falls on Sunday 8 November 2026 and is a gazetted public holiday. The Ministry of Manpower’s 2026 list adds that Monday 9 November is a public holiday if your rest day falls on 8 November.
Is Monday 9 November 2026 a day off for everyone?
Not automatically. Under the Employment Act, a public holiday that lands on your rest day moves to the next working day. On a Monday-to-Friday week your rest day is the Sunday, so you get the Monday. If you work Sundays, Deepavali itself is your holiday and there is no Monday in lieu.
How many leave days turn Deepavali 2026 into a proper break?
Four. Taking Tuesday 10 to Friday 13 November turns the three-day weekend into nine days in a row, Saturday 7 to Sunday 15 November. That is the window the second tab of the fare planner prices.
Where can I get to on the three-day Deepavali weekend?
Most of Southeast Asia. Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Bangkok, Phuket, Jakarta and Bali are all nonstop from Changi and back inside the window. The fare planner above is priced for the real dates, so the figure on each row is the trip you would actually book.
Do the school holidays overlap with Deepavali 2026?
No, and the timing is worth knowing. The MOE school year ends on Friday 20 November 2026 and the year-end break runs from 21 November to 31 December. Deepavali sits in term time, twelve days before a six-week holiday.

How these figures were produced
- Fares are the cheapest nonstop return for one adult in SGD, searched on Wego from Singapore on 3 September 2026, with the Singapore market site code. Nonstop, because the price-sorted feed puts self-connections of a day or more above the nonstop, and those are not real options on a two-night break.
- The three-day list is priced 7 to 9 November and the nine-day list 7 to 15 November, so no journey is priced twice on this page.
- Each city shows three hotels from one search over the two nights of 7 to 9 November for two adults, all scoring 8 or better from at least 100 guest reviews, using the provider’s own property type so that hostel and backpacker listings do not undercut the hotels. The three are won on different criteria: cheapest with a three-star floor, a step up with a four-star floor, and best reviewed by highest guest score from at least 500 reviews, or at least 100 where no property in that city is read that widely. The best-reviewed pick is capped at six times the cheapest card so it stays a plausible upgrade rather than a different market: uncapped it returned a resort at 45 times the cheapest room. One property per brand, and the cards are ordered by price. A single cheapest-first rule was tried first and made every card three-star, because a dearer room can never win on price. Singapore is priced as a staycation, with no flight.
- The Monday in lieu is not universal. The Employment Act moves a public holiday to the next working day only when it falls on the employee’s rest day, which is the Sunday on a standard Monday-to-Friday week.
- Every price is a “from” snapshot taken on one day and will have moved. Nothing here is a quote.
