If you’ve ever missed out on purchasing an item because you just didn’t have time to run out and get it, you’ll appreciate the Click and Collect service.

#2: It's a haven for watch and jewellery fiends.

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands offers the region’s largest collection of luxury watch and jewellery brands under one roof.

Running from April 23 to August 14, grab the chance to marvel at some of the rarest minerals and over 400 stunning jewellery pieces for a small fee of $10 (for adult Singapore residents).

The Banyan Tree Spa Marina Bay Sands, located on the 55^th floor, offers panoramic views of the city. Inside the 140,533 sq ft-wide spa, you’ll find a calming retreat decked out in earthy tones. For a truly indulgent time, try the Harmony Banyan treatment ($650). With this 150-minute treatment, you’ll get not one but two therapists working to release tension in your muscles. Or opt for the Orchid Brightener, an exfoliation treatment inspired by Singapore’s national flower. Also part of the treatment is an orchid-infused bath for added relaxation.
