The mood is hypnotic. A flurry of flashing lights and riveting beats fill the room. As the night shifts into the darkest hours before a new dawn, there’s really only one thing that matters: you’re dancing the night away with your girls and no one else. No smashing hot date or long-term partner—just the high of some burning tequila, lush swatches of red on your lips and lots of oestrogen fuelling the euphoria between you and your squad. And for something that had been a near impossibility for the past two years? Making girls’ night out count will mean pulling out all the stops—there’s no need to hold back now.
Should you be needing some help on that front, the Vogue Singapore team is committed to ensuring your evening plans are foolproof, with a careful curation of items—ranging from a selection for the fashion-forward to bespoke fragrances that’ll keep you feeling spritzed up through the hours. And before you deal in on your rambunctious night out, we’ve made sure to shortlist the best setups for hearty dinner fare, the best bars to pop by for a pre-drink and the best party spots to glide into. All that’s left is for you and your girlfriends to bust out your best moves till the first light breaks.
EAT
A hidden oasis nestled away in Sentosa Golf Club, Panamericana is where a clifftop dining experience awaits—with their most recent addition of The Lawn, an alfresco space free from the hustle and bustle of Singapore. Think sweeping views and endless picturesque shots with your girlfriends as you indulge in a cornucopia of distinctive dishes influenced by regions in the North, Central and South Americas. There’s bound to be something up your alley at Panamericana, with a curated farm-to-fire menu, which features a range of premium meats, seafood, greens and grains. Make sure to call for the Charred Octopus Tentacles—quite literally the smokeshow to devour—served with burnt onion and squid ink and balanced with chickpea puree and tamarillo. For the meat lovers, the Lamb Al Asador is slow-roasted for seven hours using Jarrah wood to make up a fork-tender, succulent bite.
27 Bukit Manis Rd, Sentosa Golf Club, make a reservation here.
Alternatively, those looking for an ambient late night dinner in town can hit up Marcy’s, for old Hollywood style decor and refined modern Latin cuisine, or make a reservation at the grandiose Claudine in Dempsey Hill for homely French fare.
DRINK
Through the arched entrance of Origin Bar at Shangri-La Singapore, a voyage of sorts happens within the elegant quarters of the bar. Mood lighting and dark walls set the tone as you embark on a journey dedicated to Singapore’s historical enclaves—in tribute to our city’s bountiful trade and tropical climate. The drink menu sees 18 refreshing concoctions to choose from, with every tipple inspired by a certain district. Each holds its own charm and is thoughtfully curated by Bar Manager Adam Bursik and his team, with a good base of fresh ingredients and tethered by a simple approach when it comes to mixing. Less is always more, when at the Origin Bar. Rum imbibers would be pleased to know that with the menu’s newest district addition Balestier, the team has created a rum-based cocktail—livened with coconut liqueur. And in line with that, the bar has since accumulated a vast selection of rums, with 12 of them made in-house. And if all that drinking has worked up an appetite, head to Origin Grill just next door for a hearty meal.

Those with a penchant for gins can visit the opulent Atlas over at Parkview Square, imbued with an art deco old-world charm. Another handsome outfit to check out? Live Twice, from the folks behind Jigger & Pony—laden with Japanese influences, from the cocktail list down to the sleek furnishings.
PARTY
For one marked by distinctive luxury, hit up Marquee Singapore at Marina Bay Sands: where you will be engulfed in a grandeur like no other. A literal playground away from prying eyes, the extravagant three-storey dance paradise is home to their very own indoor eight-pod ferris wheel and spiralling slides that lead right into the heart of the dance floor—completely open to all who enter. The individual pods of the ferris wheel provide exclusive access to an arresting view of the high-octane nightlife from up top, and will make for the perfect photo-op moments with the girls. On the music front, the notable nightclub can be expected to deliver pumping beats on the deck and a show-stopping line-up: considering their past DJs include the likes of Steve Aoki and Tiesto.
And the best part? Marquee is set to reopen come 1 July, a timely affair for the summer night out you’ve got on the backburner. Reservations for the first weekend are already well underway.

For an underground scene and that rush of disco mania, Cherry Discotheque‘s thematic throwbacks and eclectic lights can be just the place. If you’re leaning towards a more cosy lounge space, Capital Zouk exudes an undeniable atmosphere of modern elegance and contemporary touch points. No less should be expected from their dependable deck spins: with resident DJs Jeremy Boon, Ghetto and Che’Molly serving pulsating tracks for you to get your groove on.

L'OCCITANE
The best way to unwind after a tipple or two with the girls is indulging in a luxurious shower with the right products. One bathtime must-have is L’OCCITANE’s Almond Shower Oil, thanks to its deep moisturising properties and comforting scent. The golden elixir is infused with sweet almond oil, which is packed with nourishing fatty acids and omega oils to condition your skin and replenish it with moisture. Grapeseed oil supports this function, and promises to deliver smooth and supple skin with every shower.
Simply use a pump or two of this award-winning product while you shower and watch as it emulsifies immediately into a creamy lather. The idea of it washing away grime and accumulated stress down the drain brings about a sense of calm, and sets us in the right mood for sweet slumber. The best part? You won’t even have to moisturise with a lotion thereafter, so you can just skip this step without worrying about your skin drying out as you sleep.

It’s never a real girls’ night out when you’re not all dressed up in your favourite jewellery. But this time, leave the diamonds and go for pearls instead.
