Sun, sand, and sea – probably the first 3 things that pop into your mind when someone mentions Tanjong Beach in Sentosa. But come 8th-25th May 2025, you’ll be able to throw in movies under the stars too, ‘cause Hendrick’s Sunset Cinema is making a return with a fresh line-up of films.
Couple award-winning flicks with refreshing cocktails and that golden hour glow, and you’ll have the recipe for a swoon-worthy date idea.
Dubbed “Asia’s most breathtaking open-air cinema,” Hendrick’s Sunset Cinema is a movie-on-the-beach experience that’s designed to offer chill vibes. You’ll get to kick back in a comfy deck chair, sip on a cocktail, and soak in stunning sunset views before the big screen lights up.
Gates open at 5.30pm, giving you a solid 2 hours before the movie starts – plenty of time to explore and grab a drink.
While bringing your own booze isn’t allowed, you certainly can dabao food from VivoCity to munch on. But if you prefer skipping the hassle, there will be a fully stocked bar and dinner menu prepared by Tanjong Beach Club to keep you fuelled for the night.

And trust us, the saying “the early bird gets the worm” couldn’t be more true here. Head down early to collect a sticker, write your name on it, and paste it on a deck chair to chope your favourite seat. We recommend front-row centre seats – it’s the sweet spot to enjoy your movie minus any awkward neck-craning.
Resident DJ Stephen Day will be spinning some killer tunes before the movie starts. Expect an eclectic mix of tracks that will get you in the spirit of the sunset cinema experience.
If this year’s edition is anything like the past ones, you’ll also get to participate in some fun games where you can snag prizes.
Don’t forget to capture those perfect golden hour moments – sunset usually hits its peak at around 7pm, so make sure your camera is ready.
If you’re wondering how one goes about enjoying a movie amidst all the noise, there’s no need to worry – everyone gets a pair of wireless headphones, helping you stay immersed in the film without any distractions.

Each ticket goes for $44.80 and with that, you get a Hendrick’s Gin cocktail*, comfy deck chair seating, use of wireless headphones, plus access to shuttle buses to Harbourfront MRT after the event. It’s everything you need for a beach movie experience, all bundled up in one sweet deal.
*Or 2 non-alcoholic drinks.
Of course, the highlight of the night is the movie itself. Each screening features a different movie and you can look forward to a lineup of award-winning films like The Substance, A New Kind of Wilderness, and Conclave. There’s a good mix of genres to choose from, including thriller, biographical musical, and coming-of-age comedy.
