With New Year’s Eve right around the corner, you’re probably planning to celebrate your final hurrah of 2024 at a rooftop bar or a restaurant with views of fireworks. But if a soirée by the sands – and not Marina Bay Sands – is more your jam, then Sentosa’s gotta be your haunt of choice this December 31. This year, the fun-packed island off Singapore setting off its countdown fireworks at not one but two locations, with one of them accompanied by a drone show. As a prelude to that, there will also be free movie screenings for the whole family and a bunch of high-octane beach parties.
Where to watch New Year’s Eve countdown fireworks at Sentosa
One of the two New Year’s Eve fireworks spots at Sentosa is Palawan Beach. Before the big countdown, cosy up for a free movie marathon (near the suspension bridge) with screenings of Minions: The Rise of Gru at 5.15pm; Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse of The Black Pearl at 6.55pm; and Stardust at 9.30pm. All three movies are rated PG and are thus perfectly family-friendly. Make sure you arrive a little earlier to secure a good viewing spot, and feel free to bring along a picnic mat and some snacks if you wish.
After the last movie ends at around 11.40pm, gear up to see a breathtaking 10-minute fireworks display as you bid farewell to 2024 and start 2025 with a bang.
Simultaneously, Sentosa will also be releasing its countdown fireworks at Siloso Beach, and those who are revelling in this zone will also be treated to a mesmerising drone show together with the pyrotechnics.
Aside from parking yourself at the two beaches, head over to these other places for prime views of Sentosa’s NYE fireworks:

- Palawan Green
- 1-Altitude Coast
- Sand Bar
- FOC by the Beach
- Royal Albatross
New Year’s 2025 parties at Sentosa
Sentosa is home to plenty of beach clubs, so it’s unsurprising that the island is hosting a whole slew of beachside parties this New Year’s Eve.
