One of the most exhilarating and unique spectacles in Formula One unfolds in Singapore. This week, we head to the one-of-a-kind Marina Bay Street Circuit, a standout venue where the cars race under the cover of night. Together with our Global Luxury Luggage Partner, Globe-Trotter, we explore the 24-hour city.
The Marina Bay Street Circuit was the first to introduce night racing. This unforgettable event blends street racing with the nocturnal buzz of South-East Asia's most prestigious city, creating an intoxicating Grand Prix.
The Singapore Grand Prix tests drivers while rewarding spectators with an experience unlike any other in F1. A fixture on the calendar since 2008, this incredible night race brings spectators to the heart of the city and the race action, with time to explore the famous Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Bay Sands complex.
Enjoy Singapore's many attractions
Singapore may be small, but the city makes room for much more history and culture than you could imagine. The British colonial architecture and parks from the time of Sir Stamford Raffles are particularly captivating.
The blend of Malay and Chinese culture is epitomised in the food – don't miss the chilli crab from the hawker stalls and night markets, Singapore noodles, or the many fine dining destinations; either way, the food offers a taste of the culture everywhere.
The Ritz-Carlton offers race-goers great views and F1-themed packages, as does the St. Regis. Enjoy Sentosa Cove, a pleasure island full of casinos and attractions, anchored by the trendy W Hotel. Be sure to visit the National Gallery for outstanding art.
What's new in Singapore
There are always new developments in this forward-thinking city-state, where the skyline is constantly changing. The latest improvements at Changi Airport have recently opened. Renowned as one of the world's best airports, its huge new shopping centre, The Jewel, is crowned by the spectacular Rain Vortex, a soaring rooftop waterfall. A new Standard Hotel and a new Edition have brought luxury and style to Singapore. Additionally, the Conrad Orchard has been reborn with a glamorous new look.
How to take joy in the journey
The short hop to beautiful Bali by luxury yacht takes you past some incomparable Indonesian island locales before you begin your journey around one of Asia's most famous islands. Bali's beauty has entranced visitors for years; those who come for its beaches, cliffs, volcanoes, and the temples of Ubud in the island's centre are rarely disappointed.
On the coast, you can party for days on end, or you can find quiet luxury at the Regent Canggu, the new must-see destination resort offering the highest standards of service amid an atmosphere of refinement and quality. Meanwhile, if you love the jungle, check into Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, where the luxury accommodation has no walls and no doors, blending you seamlessly into nature.
