6 sexiest ways to celebrate New Year’s eve 2013 in Singapore
By Eytan UlielFind parades and floats a bit ho-hum? Not up for fighting your way through the annual crush or revellers? Is there someone special you really want to impress this year? Here are 6 ideas for ushering in 2013 in Singapore, literally dripping with sexiness.
A Masquerade Ball in the Sky – it doesn’t get any sexier than Ku De Ta’s opulent Venetian-style masquerade ball on the top of the Marina Bay Sands. Great music, amazing views of the NYE fireworks display (think looking over the fireworks, not up at them), and a complimentary glass of champagne. (From 8pm, $148).
Glam it Up at one of Singapore’s super-clubs on the Marina Bay. Avalon (from 9pm, admission $100) is the definition of glamorous – beautiful people, beautifully dressed: don’t come unless you’re prepared to look the part.
Pangaea’s Las Vegas themed party will be glitz and glamour right down to the showgirls (from 10pm, admission $100). High entry prices keep the kids out; killer music and drinks are assured; both guarantee prime waterfront views for the countdown fireworks.
I’m too Sexy for this Club – for something completely different, try ring in the new year at the Asian Civilisations Museum (yes, you heard right, NYE in a museum).
The ACM puts on a cultural New Year’s Eve bash where you can wander through galleries celebrating Asian arts and heritage; there are dance performances and world music, and a decent fireworks view is thrown in as well. So unsexy that it’s actually über-sexy. (From 8pm, Free).
Skydive, Anyone? Book a NYE flight at Sentosa’s iFly (every 20 minutes, around $155 for 4 flights). The world’s largest indoor wind-tunnel, that gives the real feeling of sky-diving.
Get decked out in a bright coloured jumpsuit and goggles, and start your evening off in a unique way. It’s best to book online in advance.
And after, head on down to the Siloso Beach Party ($60 entry fee, 6pm – 6am). Join thousands of partygoers on the sand, bopping to the beat of hot house, dance and Latin Jazz music.
If you’re really in the mood for going crazy, the massive foam pool is a star attraction. Or, if you prefer a slightly more exclusive crowd, also on Sentosa you can try the Tanjong Beach Club ($150+, reserve in advance). DJs, deck-chairs, fire-twirlers and bikini-babes: all oozing with laid-back sexiness.
The Singapore Flyer observation wheel offers the ultimate in cheesy but oh-so-sexy romance. Enjoy a themed NYE capsule, full butler service as you dine in the sky, gorgeous vistas and of course, stunning fireworks views. And on the ground, the party will continue with live performances and a DJ (from $350 per couple).
Magic under the Stars – for the most exclusive NYE in town, try the Capella Hotel on Sentosa. Enjoy pre-dinner cocktails and appetisers prepared at live chef stations; free flow Dom Perignon champagne all night; a Michelin-starred chef’s four-course meal; a desert buffet from heaven; flamenco, opera and other live performances; and dancing under the stars.
Take the kids if you like – special food and entertainment will keep young ones occupied while you party the night away. Finish at the Capella Star Lounge, with even more free flow of premium wine and champagne. (From 7pm, $588 per head; book in advance).
And, if you really want to splash out, stay at the hotel too – special NYE packages are available (2 night minimum, per night from $1,600 to $18,000). Your NYE sexiness factor is guaranteed to go right off the charts.
