In its drive to bolster its reputation as a day-to-night destination, the Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC), on Monday, unveiled the ‘Sentosa Night Mode’. The new feature will comprise a variety of activities from August to October.
“Guests are invited to bask in the island’s vibrant nightlife and beach club scene,” read an official news release from SDC.
Night Mode represents a strategic move to boost Sentosa’s appeal and allure after sunset and diversify its charm beyond the traditional daytime attractions. This initiative introduces a series of new nocturnal experiences, extended operating hours, and exclusive island-wide promotions, creating an exciting and immersive after-dark atmosphere.
Thien Kwee Eng, Chief Executive Officer, Sentosa Development Corporation, said, “The Night Mode initiative aims to diversify Sentosa’s offerings and extend its appeal beyond daylight hours to cater to growing visitor demands for evening entertainment options on Sentosa. With Night Mode, SDC aims to create new opportunities for guests to discover Sentosa anew and to extend the length of stay of guests on Sentosa.”
