Marina Bay Sands Singapore Expanding

2026-04-11T09:31:00.001+03:00

Singapore’s most iconic landmark is getting a major upgrade with all-suite rooms and a next-level rooftop experience.

Few buildings are as closely tied to a city skyline as Marina Bay Sands is to Singapore. Since opening in 2010, the integrated resort has become one of the most recognizable hospitality landmarks in the world, thanks to its three-tower silhouette, headline-making infinity pool and commanding position over Marina Bay. Now, the property is preparing for its next act, with a major expansion that will bring a new fourth tower to the waterfront.

Currently referred to as IR2, the new development is being positioned as an ultra-luxury resort destination in its own right. Rather than extending the original structure, the new tower will rise separately beside the existing complex, allowing Marina Bay Sands to grow without compromising the design that made it famous. It will be designed by Safdie Architects, the studio behind the original resort, with the new hotel tower set at 55 storeys and rotated to capture views across Marina Bay and the Singapore Strait.

Inside, the focus is firmly on exclusivity. The hotel will feature 570 suites, with no standard guestrooms in sight. That move signals a sharper push into the ultra-luxury market, offering a more elevated stay for high-spending leisure and business travellers. The new property will also add lifestyle and wellness amenities, destination dining, nightlife and luxury retail, further strengthening Marina Bay Sands as more than just a hotel, but a complete entertainment and hospitality ecosystem.

One of the most eye-catching additions will be the Skyloop, a 76,000-square-foot rooftop experience that serves as the tower’s defining architectural feature. Unlike the original Sands SkyPark, this new rooftop will unfold across overlapping levels, blending private and public spaces into one sculptural design. Expect infinity-edge pools, private cabanas, restaurants, lush gardens, an observatory, and panoramic views stretching across the city and out towards the sea. It is the kind of statement feature designed not just for guests, but for the skyline itself.

The wider expansion goes well beyond the hotel. Plans also include a 15,000-seat arena that aims to raise the bar for live entertainment in Asia, alongside approximately 200,000 square feet of premium MICE space for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions. In other words, this is not simply a new tower, but a long-term investment in Singapore’s tourism, events and hospitality sectors.

The project is led by Las Vegas Sands, and construction officially began in July 2025, with completion expected by June 2030 and an official opening currently targeted for January 2031, subject to government approval. It may still be a few years away, but Marina Bay Sands is doubling down on the scale, spectacle, and luxury that made it a global icon in the first place.

Raffles Hotel Singapore

2026-04-11T09:13:00.000+03:00

The Queen Mother of luxury hotels in Singapore is as legendary as ever.

Undoubtedly one of the world’s grandest dames. This all-suite hotel is home to fine dining and legendary drinking, a spa that will restore you from the most tiring of journeys, a rooftop pool, and gorgeous gardens, all in the middle of a city that has plenty to explore over a few days.

Raffles’ luscious gardens are a big part of what makes it so unique, offering a real sense of retreat from the metropolis beyond its doors. Lawns are bordered by vast palms and tropical flowers; birds and insects provide a soothing soundtrack. A refurb in 2019 saw a huge chandelier from the Czech Republic added to the imposing marble lobby, speaking to the brand’s expansion into the international luxury market to include 27 hotels across the world. An antique grandfather clock and gramophone sit alongside plush contemporary-classic seating.

The 137-year-old property is maintained to an extremely high level; I don’t recall seeing a single sign of wear and tear anywhere. The clever use of technology to modernise period features is impressive – for instance, the palm-shaped fans in the Long Bar, once manually operated by a person pulling a lever, but now electric.

The hotel’s popularity with Britons dates back to Singapore’s past as a British colony, but happily, these days it welcomes a more diverse crowd. This history is clearly still a draw for some guests, but it is how the hotel imagines itself for the future that I found interesting. See the appointment of the first female and first Singaporean writer in residence, Madeleine Lee, to whom the opening section of the Writer’s Bar menu is dedicated. Or the commissioning of local artist Alvin Mark Tan to paint a new mural on the side of the Long Bar. Then there’s Magic Hour, a series of free public live music performances on the hotel’s lawn. Toiletries in suites are by Omno, a brand that describes itself as “Singapore born, Asia raised, green based, nature bound”. It is good to see forward-thinking initiatives such as these.

The pièce de résistance of the Fasano is without a doubt the large infinity pool on the roof deck, with spectacular views across the ocean and a trendy bar frequented by the Rio jet set. The perfect spot for enjoying a caipirinha whilst watching the sun go down.

The Brando French Polynesia

2026-02-12T01:12:00.000+02:00

The Brando, an ecoluxe resort in the heart of French Polynesia

French Polynesia is a country which is synonymous with laid-back tropical luxury.

Positioned 30 miles northeast of Tahiti is the Tetiaroa atoll, a collection of a dozen small islands, ringing a deep turquoise lagoon. This part of French Polynesia won the hearts of Tahitian royalty, for whom it was the favoured island retreat, and then Marlon Brando, who first came here while filming the Mutiny of the Bounty. The actor went on to buy the island and set about building The Brando, a beautiful and luxurious resort on this exclusive private island.

Access to The Brando is by private plane from Tahiti. There are 35 luxury villas scattered along both Turtle Beach and Mermaid Bay. With a choice of one-, two- and three-bedroom villas, there’s something for everyone from honeymooners to families and groups of friends. The timbered villas were built to reflect Polynesian culture and design and are hidden amongst the tropical vegetation so as not to detract from the natural beauty of the island.

Villas feature high ceilings and large windows, ensuring they are bright and airy. Decking leads to a private plunge pool, and there’s an outdoor bathtub for a soak under the stars.

There are two restaurants at The Brando serving a range of Polynesian, fusion and classic French cuisine. There’s also a beach bar as well as the Te Manu Bar, which has private tree-top seating areas that are reached through a series of walkways through the canopy. There’s an abundance of fresh organic fruit and vegetables grown in the kitchen garden and orchard, so expect lots of locally grown mango, papaya, cucumber, avocado and lime, alongside fish and shellfish from the surrounding waters.

The lagoon is teeming with marine life, and guests can explore this diverse underwater world by swimming, snorkelling, diving or kayaking through the pristine waters. There’s also the option to hop on a bike and explore the lush green interior of the island. Back at the resort, there’s an infinity pool, tennis court and a beautiful spa nestled among the tropical flowers.

Palazzo Santa Croce, Amalfi Coast

2026-02-04T16:13:00.000+02:00

From Historic Monastery to Luxury Villa,

Palazzo Santa Croce was originally a small monastery that later became a bishopric in 1716. As a bishop’s residence at the height of the Baroque period, the building was renovated in the ornate style that remains today, and decorated with rare and precious woods and silks, which were traded in Positano’s port with merchants from the Orient. The villa’s lacquered doors, frescoed ceilings, and elaborate stucco flourishes were created by local masters. When maritime trade ended, Positano gradually became a poor fishing village…though Palazzo Santa Croce remained a luxurious palace overlooking the town.

At the beginning of the 1900’s, the Amalfi Coast began attracting travelers drawn to the timeless beauty of this stretch of coastline. Among these European visitors was Edward Gillhausen, a Bauhaus artist fleeing the Nazi regime who fell in love with Positano and decided to take up residence here with his wife. The couple lived in the Palazzo until the early 2000’s, transforming the villa into a cultural center adorned with precious artwork and antiques. Together, they would host great icons of 20th-century culture like Picasso, John Steinbeck, Alberto Moravia, and many others.

In 2003, the villa was purchased by two local entrepreneurs, friends of the Ghillausens, who shared their vision of preserving the property and subsequently subjected it to a skillful restoration, returning the palazzo to its former splendor. Today, the Palazzo Santa Croce is an exclusive San Pietro Hotel luxury property

The hotel’s perched on Oia’s hillside, overlooking the sea. The town’s dotted with boutique fashion stores and Greek eateries – you can reach lots of them on foot in around five minutes.

Elsewhere, you’ve got two more restaurants and a luxury fashion boutique.

Santorini has its own style of architecture, which allows its spectacular scenery to take centre stage. So, hotel balustrades might be lower than you'd expect to see back home. Please take care on hotel balconies, terraces, and public walkways. If you're travelling with children, please make sure that you're comfortable with this before you book.

Please be aware that you may be asked for a credit card on arrival to cover any ad hoc purchases. This hotel may also take a deposit, which can vary depending on the length of stay. It will be refunded after your stay, provided no damage has been caused to your room or its contents.

It's also worth noting that there may be extra hotel fees or tourist taxes, payable on check-in or check-out.
