Last hurrah!
The Christmas parties may be over but the merrymaking lives on. But before making New Year resolutions, we say ditch your “diet” and #BalikAlindog promises early on. You keep on breaking them, anyway. Instead, do this: Indulge yourself on Dec. 31 with these ammunitions you need to win the battle against another 365 days of hard work. Here are the best deals you should avail of before another year of game face on mode starts.
MUSIC IN THE AIR
Instead of welcoming 2015 with noise, greet the Year of the Sheep with lovely music, fun, and drinks. Dusit Thani Manila turns the party on at the poolside on Dec. 31 with Nikki Beach style (the ultimate beach club party) featuring DJ Arnel Genterone and 3rd Avenue Band. Priced at P1,300 per person, the merry party treats you with three rounds of drinks. Cheers! 02 238 8888 dtmn@dusit.com
FESTIVE BUFFET
Indulge, fill your tummy, and be merry. You know what they say, start the New Year right with happiness and the rest of the year will be a bliss. At Manila Pavilion’s Season Café, you can have a blissful and sublime dinner buffet on Dec. 31 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with free flowing supply of juice, iced tea, and a complimentary pass to the New Year countdown with a splendid selection of pica pica buffet, sparkling wine, and noise makers to usher in 2015 with happiness, less stress, and big successes. www.manilapavilion.com.ph
SPECTACULAR YEAR OF THE SHEEP
Don’t let any meh moment happen in the Year of the Sheep! Instead, have a (with hope) momentous 2015. At Acacia Hotel you can join the biggest party in the south and partake festive dinner buffet of Asian and international fares while the Voices of 5 band provides entertainment for the whole evening for P2,500. For more intimate and relaxed get together, dine at The Lobby and be treated like kings and queens with its four-course sitdown menu for only P998. It includes chestnut soup with bacon and thyme croutons, cold salad, roasted US beef in red wine and mushroom sauce or grilled salmon with spinach and parmesan cheese, and chocolate panna cotta and meringue rose cake with vanilla ice cream. www.acaciahotelsmanila.com
GLITZ AND GLAMOUR IN BORACAY
Go to Boracay while it isn’t still bursting at the seams (fingers crossed). Maximize the sun, sea, and sand and welcome the New Year with wine pairings and culinary masterpieces at Discovery Shores Boracay (one of the most awarded hotels in the country) on Dec.31. Dine in style with the hotel’s Jazz Age theme and relish the long vacation before thinking what lies ahead in 2015. For P5,888++ per person and P2,944++ for kids six years old and below, start your New Year shebang with a plateful of lechon, grilled seafood, rib eye steak, and lobster paella negra, among others. Cap off your out-of-town getaway with a countdown party and fireworks show. discoveryhotels-resorts.com
SHINDIG AT THE SHANG
Wear your best dress (the one with the tummy room, please) and party in style on the last day of the year. Start and end Dec. 31 with a shimmering shindig at the Lobby Lounge, Makati Shangri-La. Get in the mood starting with free-flowing champagne and canapés from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. followed by a four-course dinner at 8:30 p.m. and capped off with dessert buffet from 11 p.m. onward. Oh, there’s a live musical entertainment to keep you on your toes. Performers like Aliya Parcs, The Voice Philippines Klarisse de Guzman, and The Music Network are sure to bring the house down. 02 813 8888 rric.slm@shangri-la.com
THIS IS HOW YOU ROLL
Watch fireworks illuminate Manila Bay and its famous skyline at an intimate holiday gathering at Diamond Hotel and at the Constellation’s function venues. But before the sky display takes place, join the Rock Around the Clock countdown party at Corniche restaurant with live performances from Xarchy band and FBC Rebirth. You can also participate in the balloon drop and get a chance to win roundtrip tickets for two to Coron, Palawan. But if you want higher, louder, more badass party, go straight up at the Sky Lounge Music Bar at the 27th floor and welcome the New Year with TAC 4 band. The countdown starts at 9 p.m. www.diamondhotel.com
