In a city long familiar with traditional private members’ clubs, VANTA is poised to introduce something different. Slated to open in Singapore in Q2 2026, the forthcoming club is generating conversation for its approach to community—one that places women, creativity, and collaboration firmly at its centre.
You’ll notice the shift upon entering the world that VANTA is building at MacDonald House. The atmosphere is less about hierarchy and more about energy—an environment designed to encourage unexpected conversations rather than closed circles.
“From the moment members walk in, what we really want is a sense of electric, dynamic community,” says Alexandra Stewart, VANTA’s Membership Curator. “Whether you’re a founder, creative, or entrepreneur, you’re not navigating any gender boundaries, just real connection and mutual energy.”
This philosophy is embedded in the club’s structure itself. VANTA’s Key Council is evenly split between women and men, ensuring a balanced range of perspectives while maintaining a culture shaped by deliberate curation rather than exclusivity for its own sake.
At its core, VANTA is positioning itself as a space where Singapore’s most ambitious women can gather to exchange ideas and lead conversations across industries. Programming reflects this focus. “From women-only events to programming focused on female leadership, we’re giving our members the space to get real about business, art or wellness, on their own terms,” Stewart shares.
The appetite is already evident. Female founders, executives, and creatives are among those leading the early wave of membership enquiries. And it’s not just its programming that draws interest. The club’s atmospheric aesthetic, marked by dark leathers and woods, accented by gilded elements and lit floors, offers a departure from the typical polished private club environment, creating what many members describe as an inviting escape from the city, as Stewart tells us. “VANTA presents a chance to connect with like-minded souls, not only women. It’s about opportunity and, interestingly, women are leading the enquiry for membership.”
Past VANTA events that provided a preview of the club’s programming and a hint of what’s to come: An intimate evening with entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, an art party celebrating Salvador Dalí’s Argillet exhibition, and an F1 afterparty hosted with Red Bull Oracle. Each collaboration, Stewart notes, is carefully researched and informed by member feedback. “We want an up-and-coming fashion designer to strike up an unexpected conversation with an AI expert. That’s the kind of energy you can expect here,” Stewart says.
Looking ahead, members can expect wellness partnerships, reciprocal access to 89 clubs across 95 cities worldwide, and the beverage programming, Stewart promises, will be “world-class”. Collaborations with women-led communities such as CRIB Society are also in the pipeline.
Founding memberships are currently available by invitation ahead of the club’s opening. But beyond access, VANTA is proposing something more meaningful: A reimagining of what belonging looks like in Singapore’s private club landscape.
