Singapore’s skyline is getting a stunning new focal point this August with the highly-anticipated opening of Xava Skybar. Launching on August 1 atop the iconic National Gallery Singapore, this massive 7,000-square-foot all-day dining and nightlife destination promises to be the city’s next big hotspot. Taking over the sixth-floor space formerly occupied by Italian eatery Art di Daniele Sperindio, Xava Skybar breathes fresh, vibrant energy into the cultural precinct while boasting unparalleled panoramic views of the Padang and Marina Bay. Here’s what to expect.
Xava Skybar: what to expect
What sets Xava Skybar apart from other rooftop venues is its seamless day-to-night evolution and striking architectural elements. Excitingly, the space is crowned by a bespoke LED ceiling installation that acts as a living digital canvas. The immersive display shifts throughout the day, cycling through serene cloudscapes in the afternoon, golden sunset hues during golden hour, and dynamic themed art as the space transitions into a high-energy lounge that stays opens until 3AM daily.
Brought to life by the founders of C.O.T.U (Centre of the Universe), this venue is designed to effortlessly cater to leisurely lunches, sunset tipples, and electric evening parties.
Meanwhile, the culinary menu and signature cocktail programmes are just as ambitious. The new eatery offers an internationally-inspired menu that blends luxury with comfort, including elegant plates like Bourbon Glazed Beef Short Ribs and King Prawn Mosaic with Lobster Cream. Plus, there’ll be an affordable 2-course lunch set available from just $38+ per person.
With its prime location, cutting-edge design, and an elite hospitality team, Xava Skybar proves that Singapore’s nightlife is thriving. Certainly, an essential new stop this August whether you are a local looking for a fresh weekend hangout or a traveller wanting the ultimate snapshot of the Marina Bay skyline.
