Singapore’s Soaring Marina Bay Sands SkyPark

singapore marina bay sands swimmerFloating atop the three soaring Marina Bay Sands Hotel towers, 200 meters in the sky, the Sands SkyPark in Singapore is an awe-inspiring engineering wonder. This unique structural masterpiece is much more than your average Singapore Luxury Hotel and extends from one of the world’s largest public cantilevers. It stretches longer than the height of the Eiffel Tower or as long as four and a half Airbus A380 jumbo jets. The gravity-defying cantilever is one of the largest of its kind in the world and the observation deck offers visitors the unique opportunity to feast their eyes on the unforgettable panoramic view.

The Sands SkyPark features 12,400 square meters of space; big enough to fit three football fields. In addition to the public observation deck, the Sands SkyPark includes a 150 meter infinity swimming pool (the world’s largest outdoor pool at that height), landscaped gardens with over 900 different types of trees and plants and exclusive restaurants including The Sky on 57 which is run by Singapore’s celebrity chef Justin Quek.
