Year of the Horse is a time of reunion, gratitude, and fresh beginnings – a celebration rooted in age-old traditions that honour family, abundance, and good fortune. Marked by festive feasts, symbolic rituals, and vibrant performances, the season welcomes the new lunar year with hope and joy.
Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is all set to usher in the Year of the Horse with an elegant oceanfront celebration that brings these traditions to life under the stars.
On 16 February, guests are invited to welcome the Year of the Horse with a spectacular Reunion BBQ Dinner from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Pool Lawn.
Set in an idyllic alfresco location overlooking the ocean, this celebratory evening brings together the richness of Chinese culinary traditions and festive cultural performances.
