Perched on top of the Fullerton Bay Hotel, Lantern is composed of an infinity pool and a lush green landscape.

In skyscraper-dense Singapore, rooftop bars with a view of the fireworks are no rarity.

Sip on a cocktail while you feast your eyes on the fireworks.

Spend December in one of the bar's Jingle and Mingle nights and indulge yourself in their buffet line up, complimenting it with a range of free-flow of wines, spirits, soft drinks and juices. Catch the Countdown fireworks with Smoke & Mirrors at their New Years Eve Fiesta on 31 December. 

From 6pm until late, head up to the open-air Kinki Rooftop Bar on the third floor for front-row seats to the spectacular fireworks show. Book a private table for you and up to five friends with the Rooftop package (from $500) and enjoy a bottle of Belvedere, a choice of Monkey Shoulder or Hendrick's Gin bottle, a mixer jug, four cans of Redbull and a sharing platter. Don't forget to raise a toast to the new year against the Marina Bay skyline and waterfront. 

Head atop Marina Bay Sands – 57 levels above ground level, to be exact – and bask in the views of the city skyline. It's the perfect place to catch the fireworks while enjoying energetic club bangers and exclusive tipples like the Singapore Sling ($23), Berry Bellini ($23). Feeling hungry? Head to the restaurant and treat yourself to a decadent meal with the best views.

Don your best casino-chic attire and join in on one of the glamourous rooftop new years eve parties in the city. Get greeted by Vegas-style performers and try your new years luck on their table games.

Overlooking the Marina Bay skyline, the classy but bold space at the Mandarin Oriental offers a unique indoor view of the fireworks from the comfort of the bar. On NYE, catch the stunning display with a refreshing cocktail from its signature menu.

No prizes for guessing on which floor this bar and restaurant is perched. Billed as the world’s highest microbrewery, LeVeL33 gloriously overlooks the Marina Bay, and, thanks to the decor and service, is perhaps the most sophisticated place to quaff a beer while checking out the fireworks on NYE.
