DATE NIGHT - FEBRUARY 14
DB is set to become Hong Kong’s most romantic destination this Valentine’s Day with Tai Pak Beach transformed once again into a breathtaking candlelit spectacle. More than 7,000 LED candles arranged to form an 8-metre illuminated heart, surrounded by a galaxy of smaller hearts, create the perfect setting for a romantic photo op. You can also expect live music, with local buskers The Flame performing at 6.30pm, 7.45pm and 9pm. And you can catch Disney’s dazzling drone display from the beach at 9pm – a magical moment not to be missed.
Another highlight for February 14 is DB’s Valentine’s Day Bouquet & Dining Offer, available for preorder via Klook until February 8, with packages starting at HK$1,530. Six DB restaurants – Peony’s, Figo’s, JOO, ONA and Café Bord de Mer & Lounge – are presenting themed menus across Chinese, Western, Korean and Mediterranean cuisines, making it easy to tailor the perfect date-night experience.
Each thoughtfully designed package includes dinner for two, a bouquet of premium Ecuadorian roses from Bloom, an exclusive Love Lock gift box and two return ferry tickets (should you need them). Couples can also choose to have their personal love messages displayed on huge screens at DB Ice Rink and Central Pier 3, a charming opportunity to share your story in a grand way.
