Singapore is the quintessential holiday destination, a familiar playground which to some may seem boring. Surprise! There are plenty of places promising romance and magic, yet to be explored.
This gorgeous green sanctuary, sitting right smack in the middle of the city is probably one of the most enchanting venues for couples to wind up their date night. Enjoy an intimate dinner and stroll along the Singapore River until you get to the Esplanade on Raffles Avenue. Couples staying at Destination Singapore Beach Road will find the roof garden is a mere 6 minutes away. There, you are treated to stunning views of Marina Bay Sands and the verdant Singapore River. A truly magical setting to enjoy in silence, with the one you love, this venue is the perfect end to a perfect date.
This is the world's highest placed Al Fresco Bar; offering a total of 3 concept bars, as well as, restaurants, the place will surely impress. Located close to some of the best value hotels in Singapore this place is equally accessible to visitors on a tight budget. If you are watching your expenses, skip dinner here, and simply head over for an after dinner drink. Well, worth the trip, the place promises 360 degree views of the surroundings, reaching out to Malaysia and Singapore, utterly stunning especially on a clear night. Make sure to do a prior reservation, as the place tends to fill up pretty fast; also you may be wise to try and avoid the weekends.
The Singapore Flyer may not be the most popular attraction in the country, although they have got their dining options just right. A unique venue to enjoy a romantic date, nothing can beat the spectacular views from your glass room. Make sure to book your dinner date, about 30 minutes before sunset, and relish being engulfed in the warm orange glow of a setting sun.
Head over to the Merlion Park and catch the Marina Sands Bay light show. A remarkable show of lasers, water jets and fire geysers the shows goes on for a duration of 13 minutes. The finale is by far the most outstanding, with a million bubbles filling the night sky. The show took a total of 3 years to make and is indeed quite impressive. And if you are a couple enjoying a budget holiday, at one of the best low-cost hotels in Singapore, the show is absolutely free. It takes place on the steps outside of the 'Shoppes @ Marina Bay Sands'.
Located on the 57th floor of the Marina Bay Sands Tower, this chic lounge bar is the perfect venue for a classy night out with the one you love. The view is one to be reckoned with although the prices too are equally steep. You can, however, sit back and enjoy a cocktail, after all, it's the ambience and the very special company that is most important.
