Singapore’s 59th National Day Parade (NDP) takes place in less than a month. This year’s public holiday falls on Friday, making it the perfect time for a staycation around the Padang where the signature fireworks finale will take place. Take advantage of these staycation offers over the long weekend while enjoying the parade, pyrotechnics and gorgeous views of the city skyline.
Fairmont Singapore
Celebrate Singapore’s National Day in style with the Fireworks by the Bay package from $533++ in a Fairmont Singapore Deluxe Marina Bay View room. The offer is good from Aug 8 to 10 and includes an overnight stay in selected Marina Bay view rooms and suites, $100 F&B dining credits for in-room orders, daily breakfast for two, priority booking for restaurants and bars, and access to the swimming pool, spa facilities, and fitness centre.
JW Marriott Singapore South Beach
One of the best unobstructed views of the fireworks are from JW Marriott Singapore South Beach’s Premier Marina Bay rooms and suites (from $969++). Enjoy the colourful spectacle in the privacy of the elegantly styled rooms, complete with signature “floating” king beds, gorgeous marble bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the pyrotechnics. The suites include Executive Lounge access with afternoon tea and hors d’oeuvres, and evening cocktails.
The Flow18 Sky Garden and swimming pool also offer incredible views. Hear and feel each burst of the fireworks in the breezy open space that overlooks the Padang. (Tip: Another scenic spot is Ebb6 Sky Garden. It might be on a lower level, but offers a different perspective to the fireworks. It is also where you can catch Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix action upclose as it overlooks Turn 7 of the Marina Bay Circuit).
Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands‘ SkyPark Observation Deck and hotel rooms need no introduction. You’ll get a bird’s eye view of the NDP fireworks across the bay and the parade from one of its posh rooms or suites (from $2,200++). The Sands Family Escape has it all, with Rori adventure packs for the kids, buffet breakfast, and unlimited access to exhibitions, iconic attractions, and the museum. In the food department, Rise Restaurant celebrates with a buffet feast of iconic Singaporean dishes such as Singapore Laksa with Prawns and Chilli Crab. To enjoy the celebration with a drink (preferably a Singapore Sling) in hand, head to Ce La Vi or Lavo Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar.
