Clean, sterile Singapore has an edgier, nightlife side to it.
For years, clubbing institution Zouk was solely responsible for bringing all night revelers to new party highs, but now with newly opened super nightclub Avalon, and ultra lounge Pangaea inside the Moshe Safdie-designed waterfront Crystal Pavilion, night owls have even more cause to party.
There are so many reasons to come; here's just 10.
Trust us on this one, it is worth calling in favors to get past Pangaea's ultra-exclusive velvet rope.
1. Dance on a table
If you've never done it (and have always wanted to do it), do it in Pangaea, in style. Custom-built granite dance tiers in each lounge corner, or banquette, are made just for this. Shake your booty on your private podium with your friends and guests; it's like having your personal party. No sweating it out on the dance floor with strangers here.
2. Dress to outdo the decor
There is more than beautiful people to look at in Pangaea. Decked out in zebra, crocodile, ostrich and other animal skins, exotic woods and the owner's collection of African tribal masks, this lounge has clothed itself to the nines. Match the mood with fancy, fashionable, glitzy and even flamboyant outfits that do this sophisticated venue justice. It's time to bring out the leopard skin anything, fur-trimmed apparel and the killer footwear.
3. Leave the world behind
It's all about the experience, and Pangaea's owner Michael Ault has created a 300-meter-long LED-lit entrance cum decompression chamber to get you in the mood to party by the time you rock up to their velvet rope. And as there is no photography allowed, you can really let your hair down.
4. Be hosted by a harem
Glamorous Pangaea hostesses -- all 12 of them -- dressed in a slinky Ashley Isham dress with individually handmade pewter macramé strap, wait on guests hand and foot, and like modern-day geishas look after your whole lounge experience. From pouring your drink to "orchestrating the party, they make sure it's smooth from start to finish and worthy of your S$1,500-S$15,000 minimum spend (varies according to the size of the table). Now, isn't this a dream come true.
5. Celebrity spot
Pangaea does not claim to be "the world's most luxurious nightspot" for nothing. Ault's little black book is legendary and among the 250,000 names are A-listers Madonna, Kate Moss and John Travolta who frequent the Pangaea lounges in London, Miami and New York. So come prepared to bump into a big name you've seen only in the movies or on stage -- just remember to play it cool, and don't sneak a look if he's standing at the neighboring urinal.
Avalon, one more club that's helping to put Singapore on the map.
6. Go to a concert and a club in the same place
More than 1,580 square meters of space spread over two floors means Avalon can have performers rockin' and DJs spinning on the same night. Being able to go from a concert to the dance floor without even stepping outside just made partying that much easier.
7. Lose yourself on the dance floor
Literally you can, with Avalon being as big as it is. Party in your own space, regroup when you're ready and check out the scene and the stunning view of the Marina Bay in between. From the main arena to the cozier to the more exclusive Bay Room -- launching on Halloween -- there's plenty of room to wander or stay. Looking for a VIP? They're up there on the mezzanine overlooking the dance floor.
