With Valentine’s Day round the corner, the last thing you want
to do to impress your date (especially if you intend to propose) is
to come across as predictable.
So what can you do to make this special day memorable?
With Singapore’s urban landscapes witnessing huge
transformations over the past few years, there are now many options
available to make your declarations.
Take the offbeat approach this Valentine’s Day with our top five
picks.
Singapore Flyer
Standing 165 metres in height, the Singapore Flyer is the
tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Situated on the southeast tip of
Marina Centre, the Singapore Flyer offers panoramic views of our
city skyline and beyond.
As part of its Valentine’s Day – Cupid Champagne / Cocktail
Flight, couples can enjoy views of the Indonesian islands of Batam
and Bintan, as well as Johor, Malaysia while dining in the
capsule.
Priced at S$88 nett per pax, the package consists of an Express
Boarding Singapore Flight (a rotation of approximately 30 minutes)
per pax. You will also be spoilt with a choice of a glass of Moët
and Chandon champagne, signature cocktail or its Cupid’s Potion
Cocktail, strawberries and chocolates, a rose for the lady plus
access to the VIP Lounge.
Marina Bay Sands SkyPark
This iconic structure is the latest addition to our urban
landscape which opened to great fanfare last year. The Sands
SkyPark is designed by renowned architect, Moshe Safdie, and towers
200m in the sky. It features landscaped gardens with 250 trees and
650 plant species. The SkyPark spans the entire length above the
three hotel towers. For just S$20 per pax, couples can gain access
to the Observation Deck which offers unobstructed views of the city
and beyond. Couples can also purchase light refreshments from the
food and beverage booth located at the Observation Deck. The
Observation Deck is open daily from 10am to 10pm.
The [email protected]
The [email protected] is an
iconic project by the Housing Development Board (HDB) which was
completed in December 2009. It is the first 50-storey public
housing project in Singapore, housing 1,848 apartments in seven
towering blocks. While the skybridge on the 26th floor
is accessible only to residents, the public can gain access to the
other skybridge on the 50th floor for a fee of S$5 per
person per entry. Here, you can take in the breathtaking views of
Chinatown, Tanjong Pagar, the CBD and beyond. The skybridge is open
to the public from 9am to 10pm daily.
Sentosa Boardwalk
Imagine taking a leisurely stroll with views of the waterway
while watching the sun set. With the Sentosa Boardwalk which just
opened in December last year, couples can do just that from
VivoCity Shopping Mall’s waterfront promenade via two-way
canopy-covered travellators. In addition to shading you from the
elements, the entire boardwalk features tropical vegetation that
are unique to Singapore. Whether taking in the panoramic views of
the bay or enjoying the lush greenery, taking a stroll on the
Sentosa Boardwalk will leave many romantic memories behind.
Sky Dining at The Jewel Box
If you have a substantial budget, why not splurge on the Sky
Dining option at The Jewel Box? This cable car ride will take
couples on a breathtaking journey while dining high up in the sky
from Mount Faber to Sentosa and back. At S$488.00 nett per couple,
you get to choose from ten floral decorated cabins in three
different themes, designed by award-winning florist, Fiore Dorato.
There is also an option to have a chauffeur pick you up from home
to The Jewel Box. While waiting for your cabin, couples will be
serenaded by live musicians while sipping on Kir Royale Champagne.
Couples also get to enjoy a bottle of champagne and receive the
award-winning Jewelry Box.
