1. Shaw Theatres – “I’m a bit old-fashioned. I like the idea of going for dinner and a movie.”
Nothing wrong with going old-school! In a dark room permeated with the aroma of deliciously sweet popcorn, two people immerse themselves in a heartfelt narrative that plays out on the big screen. Whether it’s a pair of young lovers or long-term soulmates, the cinema’s ambience allows for hidden emotions to run free, as both of you surrender yourselves to enchanting narratives and unspoken words of affection.
SAFRA members enjoy 1-for-1 Weekend Movie Tickets at Shaw Theatres until 26 March 2023. More info at safra.sg/promotions/1-for-1-shaw
2. White Sails – “Remember when you were my boat, and I was your sea?”
There’s something about a yacht that is so uniquely dreamy – two people on board their own intimate moving island, traversing to distant lands (well, in the seas around Singapore). White Sails indulges this romanticisation, with 4-hour private yacht charters to Lazarus Island.
Belt out your favourite love songs onboard, set up your own picnic or even have your own mini BBQ session (must be requested in advance). The more adventurous can also engage in activities such as snorkelling and kayaking.
