Marina Bay Sands: A one-stop-shop for Luxury and Extravagance

As I approached the Singapore coastline, I was met with the majestic sight of three towering 55-storey skyscrapers – the iconic Marina Bay Sands – announced in 2010 to be the world’s most expensive standalone casino property. Not only is MBS a feast for the eyes, it also offers luxurious rooms and suites with personal butler services that cater to those who appreciate the finer things in life. What’s more, held atop these majestic towers is the world’s most incredible infinity pool, giving travellers the chance to soak in the unforgettable views of Singapore’s skyline.

I was lucky enough to experience this mesmerising resort during my travels with Genting Dream Cruise and it has certainly left an indelible mark on my memory. After a wonderful weekend-long cruise vacation on the Singapore strait, we returned to the shore to explore the city and Marina Bay Sands was our perfect pitstop! I couldn’t resist grabbing lunch at Ippudo Ramen and purchasing a pair of Adidas shoes from their stunning new collection.

As I explored the luxurious property, I felt like I was being absorbed into its uplifting vibes. With a majestic hotel, extravagant shopping mall, convention centre, theatres, a museum resembling a lotus, SkyPark and plenty of dining options, Marina Bay Sands has become a symbol of modern Singapore, masking the charm of its old neighbours!

What’s more, only three heads of this delicious delicacy are produced each month – so don’t miss out on this truly exceptional experience!

Crystal Pavilions On Ground Floor

The incredible Crystal Pavilions, designed by Moshe Safdie, have been added to Marina Bay Sands and are a must-see for any visitor. One of these pavilions is home to Louis Vuitton’s first-ever Island Maison in Southeast Asia, while the other is home to two luxurious night clubs. These geometric beauties are perfect for reflecting city, sky, and water views during the day, and at night the vibrant display of nearly 170,000 LED lights creates a stunning star-like effect. To access these pavilions, guests can cross over via bridges or take a dip into the underwater tunnels. Located near the Marina Bay Event Plaza, the Crystal Pavilions offer plenty of retail, food, and nightlife options.

MBS is a modern marvel, a tribute to ancient cities that have been shaping history since time immemorial. Not only does it boast an impressive 2,560-room hotel and a variety of commercial avenues, but it also cleverly combines its waterfront boardwalk, the iconic ArtScience Museum, two theatres and a public square with an extraordinary hydraulic arrangement. It’s this unique blend of internal and external space that allows MBS to be the perfect venue for a variety of activities – a true testament to its majestic predecessors!

Garden Terraces

The luxuriant gardens of the network stretch from the City Park to the Bay, providing a lush and sultry panorama that strengthens the atmosphere of reciprocity. Covering a large part of the roof, convention centre, casino, and shopping complex, the gardens are embellished with five grand public art installations, designed by international artists in collaboration with Safdie that are sure to energize the architecture and public spaces. The three hotel towers feature 2560 luxurious rooms and are connected by the spectacular Sands SkyPark, a 195 meter-high park boasting gardens, restaurants, a public observatory, lounges, jogging trails and an infinity pool.

This tropical paradise is longer than the iconic Eiffel Tower! Accessible from 6AM to 11PM, Sands SkyPark infinity pool offers breathtaking views. The casino atrium, with four levels of entertainment, has a 7-ton lamp with 66,000 LEDs and 132,000 Swarovski crystals that sparkles from the ceiling. The Sands Expo and Convention Center is an amazingly flexible exhibition space, complete with Asia’s largest ballrooms.

On Basement 2, the ArtScience Museum is surrounded by a lush palm tree and 3,000 pond lilies – within it lies Future World, a futuristic exhibition where cutting-edge art meets technology. And if you’re looking for a place to let loose, the Rainbow Room is the perfect choice, outfitted with projectors and sensors to ensure a night of electrifying fun!

Gardens By The Bay

If you’re looking for a free way to explore Marina Bay Sands and Gardens By The Bay, look no further than the Helix Bridge! It’s the perfect way to get between these two hotspots in just 15 minutes, and you don’t even have to pay a cent! Of course, if you want to explore the OCBC Skyway, Flower Dome, and Cloud Forest, you’ll have to dig a bit deeper into your wallet. But if you’re just looking to bask in the beauty of nature, the Helix Bridge is the way to go. And if you’re not feeling up to the walk, you can always take the Bayfront Station to get to Gardens By The Bay. Either way, you won’t regret a visit!

Rooftop Indulgences

Head over to LAVO Rooftop Bar Restaurant on the 57th floor and take in Singapore’s spectacular skyline while savouring some scrumptious American-Italian grub. After that, get ready to rock the night away with some of the bar’s unusual handcrafted cocktails. But if you really want to immerse yourself in a truly ravishing nightlife experience, then MARQUEE is the place for you! Boasting 8K resolution screens and state-of-the-art DJ consoles, this nightclub is spread over three floors and features an eight-armed Ferris wheel with photo moments to capture all the fun times. And if that wasn’t enough, you can also take a thrilling glide down one of the three-storey slides and get lost in the electrifying atmosphere!
