Somewhere we can go whether we want a full day, or even just an hour of pampering, spas are one of our favourite ways to treat ourselves.
Whether it’s simply a rough day at the office, something extra for a special occasion, or just a way to wind down, visit these concept spas in Singapore for a truly memorable experience.
G.Spa
Offering 24-hour service, g.spa is Singapore’s largest indoor spa, and caters both to individuals as well as corporate groups. Walking into g.spa is an experience in itself, with its unique lighting and hushed, tranquil ambience. G.spa has a wide range of treatments on their spa menu, to cater to women, men and even couples. They have quite a few packages, but if you purchase one of their main treatments (which start at $155), you are entitled to a 24-hour stay, with free flow (non-alcoholic) drinks, food and use of all their facilities, including the hot & cold jacuzzis and sauna.
Kew Organics
A beauty bar just for the ladies, Kew Organics is known for their completely organic and highly effective facials. In addition to facials, they also have ranges of treatments specially for the eyes, neck, back and other areas as well as hair removal options. Customers get 20% off on their first trial service on a special offer. As far as pricing, their facials start at $170 for their popular Clear Skin Hydra Deluxe Treatment. You can get their MD Organic Eye Treatment for $90 per session, and Skin Clear Organic Treatment (for your back) for $140.
Nimble/Knead
Nimble/Knead’s specially designed shipping containers (their treatment rooms) are ideal for transportation to a different world – one in which their novel treatments start at just $42. Let your mind relax and wander while opting for their A Thousand Miles in the Rising Sun ancient Thai massage ($76 for 60 mins) or Destination Bali massage, which incorporates acupuncture, reflexology and aromatherapy to ease you into a state of total relaxation. After your treatment at Nimble/Knead, enjoy a dip in the jacuzzi and sip some warm ginger tea in the garden before returning to the real world.
The Luxe House
For what seems like an antithesis to what one would expect to see at a spa, The Luxe House surprises pleasantly on all fronts. Gone is the light, airy vibe, replaced by dark wood panelling, black marble floors and wall-to-wall mirrors; rich velvet curtains and plush armchairs. It almost feels like you’ve entered a hotel – a hotel at which pampering treatments are available for everything you could want catered to. Their Luxe House Signature Foot & Body Treatments start at $138. In addition to their extensive range of specialised foot treatments, they also have a range of Women’s Wellness Programs, which target specific areas of women’s health.
Aramsa
Aramsa’s award-winning lush garden design, and 17 unique treatment rooms (each with its own private garden and outdoor bath) has made it one of Singapore’s most popular spas. Relax to the sound of birds chirping as you luxuriate in their signature Aramsa Touch massage, a fusion of eastern meridian and western classical massage techniques ($148 for 60 mins) or one of their anti-stress therapies (starting at $98). Aramsa caters to individuals as well as couples, as even has the Blissful Couple Package, which is an entire experience catered for couples at just $180, as well as other running promotions to accommodate both couples and individuals.

Six Sense Maxwell
Located on the 4th floor of the Six Senses Maxwell hotel are five spa pods (each its own room), providing customers with heated spa beds and luxury products, among other things. They have a wide range of treatments, from manicures at just $40 to deep tissue massages, body wraps, scrubs, and a range of exclusive facials starting at $120.
Yunomori

Spa Nes
Another 24-hour spa, Spa Nes provides an entire range of treatments, from full-body massages to facials, manicures & pedicures. Try the Illuminate Karuna facial ($128 to get your skin glowing), or their popular Signature D’tox massage ($220) for revitalisation, detoxification and relaxation. Best of all, the purchase of any of their main treatments comes with a complimentary 3-hour pass to use all the spa’s facilities, so enjoy a dip in the jacuzzi while you’re there.
Espa
At Espa, you can opt to get individual treatments or even attend day retreats that are focused on helping you achieve your long-term wellness goals. They have signature treatments, cleansing ritual treatments, facials, body therapies and massages, amongst other services. Their Social Spa for Two ($950) gets you a Beach Villa Suite, where you can experience a 120-minute treatment of your choice, as well as relax with a private dipping pool and steam shower.
