The Singapore Grand Prix 2025 roars into Marina Bay this October, lighting up the city with floodlit straights, celebrity-packed grandstands and after-parties that keep up the race pace. With an already unforgettable F1 season thus far, this race promises all the excitement of the racetrack and the elegance of F1 culture. If you’re flying in on a private jet to Singapore, this is your high-touch roadmap: essential dates and access, the smartest luxury hotels, where the real scene is after dark, and how AirX gets you there in effortless style.
Singapore Grand Prix 2025: The Essentials
The Singapore Grand Prix is Formula 1’s original night race, staged on the harbourside Marina Bay Street Circuit. Expect 300 km/h blasts beneath skyscrapers, humidity that tests drivers to the limit and a festival atmosphere that spills from trackside concerts into the city’s bars and clubs.
Location
Marina Bay Street Circuit, Downtown Core / Marina Bay. A temporary street track wrapped around the bay, within walking distance of many flagship hotels and malls.

Singapore’s Must‑Visit Hotspots
Where the luxury crowd dines, drinks, shops and dances during race week.
Restaurants
- Odette (National Gallery): Chef Julien Royer’s three‑Michelin‑starred dining room pairs French technique with Asian produce in dishes that arrive like edible artwork. The pale‑pink space, tucked inside the National Gallery, feels hushed and intimate, so secure a table weeks in advance if you want a pre‑race celebration.
- Waku Ghin by Tetsuya Wakuda (Marina Bay Sands): Expect a meticulously choreographed, Michelin Starred omakase that unfolds in private salons, each course presented by the chef himself. It’s the place to toast a podium finish with sake pairings and wagyu grilled inches from your seat.
- Burnt Ends (Dempsey Hill): This two‑hatted favourite turns live‑fire cooking into theatre – sit at the counter to watch whole pineapples caramelise in the custom ovens while the sommelier steers you through a tight, punchy wine list.
Bars & Nightclubs
- Atlas Bar (Parkview Square): A soaring Art Deco temple to gin, where bronze balconies frame a 26‑foot spirits tower and martinis arrive icy and perfectly balanced. Come early for a quiet aperitif, linger late to admire the room’s jaw‑dropping scale.
- Terrat (Mandarin Oriental Rooftop): Perched above Marina Bay, this sleek rooftop spot mixes serious cocktails with uninterrupted skyline views. Book a sofa for a post‑qualifying debrief while the bay glitters beneath you.
- Marquee Singapore (Marina Bay Sands): If you want full‑blown spectacle after the chequered flag, this mega‑club obliges with a Ferris wheel of VIP booths, stadium‑grade sound and international DJs spinning until dawn.
After-Parties & ‘In the Know’ Venues
- Amber Lounge Singapore (4–5 Oct 2025): The original F1 after‑party returns with live performances, fashion shows and drivers slipping in once media duties end. Shared lounge tables start around SGD 2,100, with bottle‑service suites scaling sharply upward.
- The Podium Lounge (Ritz‑Carlton, Millenia): A multi‑night poolside takeover that draws celebrities, team personnel and socialites; expect big‑name DJs, charity auctions and an energy level that barely dips between sets.
- Mandala Club (Bukit Pasoh): This members’ club curates pop‑up chef residencies, vinyl-only DJ sets and late‑night conversations behind closed doors.
Luxury Experiences & Shopping
- The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands & ION Orchard: Both malls house flagship boutiques – Dior, Louis Vuitton, Patek Philippe – and discreet private lounges where last‑minute fittings or jewellery viewings can be arranged without fanfare.
- Charter a superyacht from ONE°15 Marina (Sentosa): Slip out onto the water for fireworks with chilled champagne and a private chef on deck, then glide back to your suite while the crowds queue for taxis.
- Private gallery previews: Gillman Barracks or STPI Creative Workshop can arrange quiet viewings between sessions.
