If you enjoy spending New Year’s Eve with good food, this celebration at Sofitel Sentosa might just be the perfect event for you. You have the option to dine at any of the two restaurants on site - The Cliff and Kwee Zeen. It seems to me like a relaxing way to spend New Year’s Eve with the family.

Special menus are available for New Year’s Eve and include seafood, Chinese, Indian, and international dishes. I’d love to savor their slow-cooked lamb shank, and this is just one of many options!

A popular attraction in Singapore, Gardens by the Bay is a beautiful park that features an observatory and thousands of plant species that are worth checking out. While you are here, you can explore Cloud Forest, home to large stunning waterfalls, as well as a secret garden.

Another part of the park that you can visit is Flower Dome, which features a greenhouse with Mediterranean trees and cacti. It is also a well-known spot for celebrating New Year’s Eve as the place offers some of the best views of the fireworks display at Marina Bay Sands.

The best place to watch the fireworks would be at the waterfront area at the Bay East Garden. Gardens by the Bay is open 24 hours and entry is free, though I’d suggest getting there early to get the best spot for watching the fireworks!
