CÉ LA VI (MBS)
Build a trip to Singapore
About
CÉ LA VI is the premier rooftop destination in Singapore, perched on the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands. Historically, it has become the face of Singapore’s luxury nightlife. The sensory experience is high-glamour—thumping house music, the wind at 200 meters high, and a 360-degree view that includes the world-famous infinity pool (separated by a barrier). The menu features modern Asian fusion and world-class cocktails. Experts recommend the 'SkyBar' for a drink during the 8 PM light show. Practical pro tip: There is a cover charge for the SkyBar which usually includes a drink voucher; ensure you check the dress code as it is strictly enforced (no swimwear, even though you are next to the pool). It is the best place to feel like a 'Crazy Rich Asian' for an evening.

Nearby Attractions
Din Tai Fung (Marina Bay Sands)
Din Tai Fung is a global phenomenon from Taiwan, world-renowned for its 'Xiao Long Bao' (soup dumplings). The Marina Bay Sands branch features a large glass-walled kitchen where you can watch the chefs meticulously hand-fold each dumpling with exactly 18 pleats. The sensory experience is defined by the burst of hot, savory soup from the delicate dumplings and the efficient, high-standard service. Experts recommend the 'Truffle and Pork Xiao Long Bao' for a luxurious twist. Practical pro tip: It is a massive restaurant but always has a queue; take a number and you can browse the nearby shops while waiting for your SMS notification. It is one of the most reliable and family-friendly dining options within the Shoppes at MBS.
ArtScience Museum
Known as 'The Welcoming Hand of Singapore,' this lotus-inspired museum is where art meets science and technology. Historically, it has hosted blockbuster exhibitions ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Salvador Dali. The permanent exhibition, 'Future World,' is a sensory masterpiece of digital interactive installations created by TeamLab. The experience is tactile and visually stunning—visitors can draw fish that 'swim' onto digital walls or walk through a crystal universe of light. Experts recommend booking 'Future World' tickets well in advance as time slots sell out quickly. Pro tip: Visit on a Monday if you have children, as the museum often offers 'Family Friday' deals (check their current promos). The rooftop of the building also functions as a giant rainwater harvester, which is visible in the central pond of the museum.
Helix Bridge
The Helix Bridge is a 280-meter pedestrian link featuring a unique double-helix structure inspired by the geometric form of DNA. Historically, it is the first of its kind in the world, symbolizing 'life and continuity.' The sensory experience is futuristic, especially at night when the bridge is lit with colored LEDs that highlight the intricate steel curves. The five viewing pods along the bridge offer spectacular, unobstructed views of the Marina Bay Sands and the skyline. Experts recommend walking across at night for the best visual experience. Pro tip: Look for the small 'c' and 'g' (cytosine and guanine) letters on the bridge that light up in red and green at night—part of the DNA-themed design detail that most tourists miss.
Supertree Grove
The Supertree Grove consists of 18 vertical gardens ranging from 25 to 50 meters tall, acting as environmental engines that collect rainwater and generate solar power. Historically, these structures are modeled after the giant trees of the rainforest. The sensory experience is most magical during the 'Garden Rhapsody' light show, where the trees pulse in vibrant colors to a musical score. Experts recommend lying on the ground in the center of the grove for an immersive 'surround-sound' experience of the show. Pro tip: The light shows are free and happen daily at 7:45 PM and 8:45 PM. Arrive at least 20 minutes early to secure a good spot on the grassy areas. If you want to walk the OCBC Skyway connecting the trees, buy tickets early as the queue can be long during peak evening hours.
