Get Valentine's Day right this year! Here's a complete guide to prepping for the day of romance...
Don’t panic; we’ve got your back. Regardless if it’s your first Valentine’s Day with your significant other, or you’re racking your brains trying to figure out how to outdo last year’s date, our comprehensive guide will help you plan the perfect evening (or brunch) with that certain special someone.
Get ready
Now before that perfect date night, you’re going to have to spend some time on the less sexy planning stage. Do yourself a favour and order your roses and chocolates at least a week in advance, so you’re not wasting the day scrambling to find some. If you’re not terrific with make-up, here are five looks that we’re positive you can’t go wrong with. Last, but certainly not least, should your evening plans culminate in the horizontal tango, make sure you’ve picked out something lovely and and lacey (and maybe even a little battery-operated backup) to spice things up in the bedroom.
Where to eat
The quintessential Valentine’s dinner date might seem pedestrian at best, but we’ve sussed out a couple of great dining spots that will set the scene for an intimate evening. All this doesn’t have to burn a huge hole in your wallet, even if you want to treat your sweetheart to a special culinary treat like lobsters or caviar. Since Valentine’s Day this year falls on a Sunday, you can also get out and about a bit earlier and take advantage of these swish champagne brunches, with free flow bubbly too!
What to do
Okay, so maybe some of you out there find the classic dinner date a little too vanilla or perhaps you’re dating one of those manic-pixie-dream-girl/-boy types who’d rather something a little unconventional. We’ve picked out a whole lot of activities for you to make a day of in one handy list. If you’re super picky and our list of 60 fun activities doesn’t impress you (well aren’t you demanding?), you can always take in the air at these romantic, tucked-away corners (picturesque spots to catch the sunrise, anyone?) of the island. Fancy a dip instead? Slip into your swimwear and dive right into our list of the sexiest swimming pools in Singapore.
Vacays and Staycays
Take your love across borders and spend the Valentine’s Day weekend exploring the old town of Hoi An, or playing out those Lara Croft fantasies amidst the ruins of Angkor Wat. If you haven’t time for a full trip, take the opportunity treat yourself and book a special evening at one of these luxurious hotels that made our best of 2015 list.
It’s okay if you’re single!
There are more unattached adults in Singapore than ever before, so the only real problem is wading through the sea of singles to find that one, perfect match. The good news is that the idea of online dating, or using a dating app no longer has the stigma it once had. So take a gander at this list of our favourite dating apps and put yourself out there! But fret not if Cupid isn’t kind to you online, we’ve still got loads of other ideas that’ll make sure you’re not stuck at home binge eating chocolate. After all, who says you can’t Netflix and chill on your own with these great Valentine’s Day flicks?
