Since gaining independence in 1963 from Britain and establishing sovereignty from Malaysia in 1965, Singapore has soon grown into a cosmopolitan country with a multicultural landscape. Not only known for being one of Asia's Four Economic Tigers, it is also being promoted as a city full of fun and promise.
In the centre of this is Sentosa Island, what used to be a small fishing village has now become one of Singapore's most exciting recreational spots. The newest attraction here is Wave House, which offers the surfing enthusiast the perfect beach scene, with a never-ending surf and combining sea, sun and sand.
The showpiece of the Wave House is the aptly named "The Wave" which is a "fully-flowing Flowbarrel sheetwave" that resembles a thunderous 10-foot wave. Water is pumped at a high speed over curved walls, creating large perfect surf-friendly waves, so even if you get wiped out, you are soon back on your feet again.
Food is an important part of Singapore culture, and the Wave House is no different. It is an sanctuary of food and drink, its kitchen serves up Asian Fusion cuisine - from delicate bites to large meals to fit any appetite for the starved surfer. A variety of chilled beverages are also available - enjoy a Mojito or an ice cold beer and refresh yourself under the hot Singapore sunshine.
There are many events and concerts also held here. World famous DJs have performed here and continue to do so on Fridays and Saturdays. Dancers, fire-throwers and other exclusive acts have also been known to take the main stage.
Wave House can also be hired out for parties, whether it be a corporate event or a children's party, it can accommodate upto 3000 guests at a time. It offers 70,000 square feet which can molded for one's fancy. There are 2 bars, and areas that open out to the beach, offering views of the main outdoor areas such as the Hammock garden, the Flowbarrel and the various cabanas scattered throughout the palm trees below. Platforms for musical acts can be set up for wherever you may want it as well.
