Sands Skypark and Observation Deck, Singapore

Sands Skypark and Observation Deck, Singapore (must see)

Resembling either a celestial surfboard or a spaceship docking on a tripod, the Sands SkyPark is an enormous (1.2-hectare) platform that defies gravity, perched atop the three 55-story Marina Bay Sands hotel towers that dominate the Marina Bay area.

This architectural marvel, designed by visionary architect Moshe Safdie, ranks among the largest in the world. It outstretches the length of the laid-down Eiffel Tower and has ample space to accommodate four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets simultaneously.

Within this impressive structure, visitors can explore lush gardens teeming with hundreds of trees and plants. Additionally, it houses some of the finest bars, nightclubs, and restaurants in the Marina Bay area. These include renowned establishments like Michelin-starred CUT by Wolfgang Puck, Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer, AVENUE Singapore, LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar, and Cé La Vi.

However, the standout attraction of the park is the exclusive 150-meter swimming pool, which happens to be the world's largest elevated outdoor body of water, sitting 191 meters above ground. It provides a legendary view of Singapore's world-class skyline, especially breathtaking at sunset. The pool boasts a 146-meter vanishing edge, creating the illusion of swimming among the clouds, with nothing but sheer beauty in front of the swimmer. Only hotel guests have the privilege of indulging in this luxurious pool experience, or to enter the SkyPark without charge.

For non-residents of the hotel, there's an opportunity to savor unobstructed 360-degree panoramic views of Marina Bay from a cantilevered public observation deck. This deck is open from 11:30 am to 8:00 pm and includes access to explore the deck itself, shop for souvenirs, and enjoy an audio guide providing insights into the history of various parts of Singapore while gazing down upon them.
