Beach carnival to usher in new year

The beach carnival has fun activities lined up such as carnival games, a petting zoo, an outdoor cinema, live entertainment and fireworks.

WITH the gorgeous ocean as its backdrop, Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson is the place to be on Dec 31 as it goes all out for its New Year’s Eve countdown party.

The revelry includes a multi-sensory celebration extravaganza on the beach.

Guests can look forward to an evening of bustling energy, adrenaline-pumping music, fun games, food, lively activities and a dazzling pyrotechnic display illuminating the Port Dickson sky.

“Our resort’s beach will be transformed into a beach carnival, for an unparalleled and memorable experience for our guests,” said Lexis Hotel Group president Mandy Chew Siok Cheng.

“Our social life has taken a great hit due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the movement restrictions for the past few years.

“This year’s celebration is our reward to our guests who want to feel the exhilarating experience of celebrating once again as we cap off a fabulous year and gear up for another round of endless possibilities,” said Chew.

Beginning at 5pm, the resort will kick off a spectacular line-up of New Year’s Eve festivities.

Family and young children can take part in fun carnival games and even get up close to farm animals at the petting zoo.

There will be a sumptuous barbecue buffet dinner at the beach including a spread of mouthwatering appetisers and desserts and well-marinated barbecued delights.

Music lovers can get their groove on with multiple live music performances and dance the night away as a DJ spins the hottest tracks.

There will be an outdoor cinema and a fire-stunt show before the fireworks start at midnight.

Exclusive for in-house guests, the beach carnival is part of the resort’s countdown package from Dec 31.
