Your Quarterly Guide - Singapore Tourism Board

Raising the Bar
Big-name clubs opening up here have cemented
Singapore’s reputation as one of the best party
destinations in the world.
Singapore’s nightlife offerings
are some of the most unique
globally, with world-class hot
spots that are unparalleled in terms
of concept, décor, design and music.
Avalon, housed in one of
the statement-making Crystal
Pavilions at Marina Bay Sands®
(the other is the Louis Vuitton
Island Maison boutique), is the
17,000-square-foot Singapore
offshoot of its famous Hollywood
namesake. Designed by New
York-based design firm Roman
and Williams, the sleek club
interior in warm, sensual colours
is outfitted with custom furniture
in wood and leather interlocks,
and, of course, a killer sound
system. A great combination of
style and musical substance, the
club has played host to numerous
superstar DJs such as Steve Aoki,
Above & Beyond, Massive Attack
and The Chemical Brothers. You
simply can’t afford to miss one
of the hottest clubs in town.
Housed in the same building
as Avalon is Pangaea,
the über exclusive
club/lounge with a
strict door policy
(make sure you’re
dressed to the
nines before heading
down) that’s become
a celebrity favourite in
cities such as New York,
London and Miami. If
you’re in the mood to splurge
Zouk
nightlife
Pangaea
on a table, this is the place to
be for pampered bar service at
one of the city’s poshest spots.
World-famous Zouk has been
the pioneer of the local dance
music scene since the early ‘90s
and is still one of the best dance
clubs in town. It’s hosted huge live
acts like Björk, Peaches,
Crystal Castles, Chicks
on Speed and Grace
Jones, and continues
to push the envelope
of contemporary
dance music with its
weekly international
DJ offerings in genres
such as house, trance,
techno, hip hop and soul.
