Marina Bay - Marvel by the Waters


The tiny island country of Singapore is not in the least tiny in what it puts forth to entice crowds. A frontrunner in innovation and development, Singapore presents to the world an unmatched experience on reclaimed land; Marina Bay. The manmade inlet which has fascinated mankind and won global recognition for Singapore will delight, charm and relax any soul.

The symbol of Singapore, the Merlion overlooks Marina Bay with unprecedented grandeur and lures tourists to the Merlion Park where one is free to stroll and take in a breath of fresh air that blows in from the freshwater reservoir.

Hop aboard Singapore's gigantic observation wheel the 'Singapore Flyer', at Marina Bay for a flying glimpse of the Singaporean skyline. It will give you an opportunity to dine and admire the Singapore River that ripples into the bay, while journeying through the atmosphere. Another way to enjoy the scenery is to cruise through the basin in a ferry from the Southern Pier of Marina Bay. Above the sparkling blue waters of Marina Bay is the Helix Bridge, which is an ideal companion for the buildings and structures in the vicinity. Its steel meshes canopies and curves form a beautiful pathway for pedestrians between Marina Centre and Marina South.

Marina Bay Sands, the integrated resort at the waterfront, which is to be completed in several phases is still a tempting destination due to its famous Vegas style casino. Upon completion, there will be a host of dining facilities, an Art- Science Museum and many nightlife offerings
Adrift on the bay is an open air platform, 'The Float', which can be used for sports events, musical shows or even to stage a play. Its spacious and bouyant features make it an immediate favourite among visitors. Combining the thrill of dining, shopping and revelling in some theatrics is the magnificent Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay. Its outdoor theatre, roof terrace, exhibition floor and shopping area all complement its unusual architecture, which is built to bring out the best in everyone's artistic abilities.
