I spent an afternoon exploring Marina Bay Sands (MBS) — the city’s most iconic luxury landmark in Singapore. Whether you’re staying at the hotel or just visiting, MBS offers a complete mix of world-class architecture, shopping, dining, and waterfront city vibes.

One of the highlights was visiting the Apple Store at Marina Bay Sands, uniquely designed as a floating orb on the bay. It’s not just a retail space — it’s a photo spot, a design marvel, and offers great indoor-outdoor views of Marina Bay.

Inside the mall, I explored The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, watched the water swirl inside the Rain Oculus, and enjoyed a relaxing coffee break by the indoor canal.

As evening fell, I headed outdoors to catch the Spectra light and water show — a dazzling display of color, music, and dancing fountains, set against the beautiful city skyline.
