Following increased spa interest from Singapore-based guests, Cassandra and her team hope to help guests escape and decompress.
“We are very excited to be launching a new treatment menu at a time where health and wellness has never been more important.", shares Cassandra with Expat Choice. “Our offerings range from our signature rituals, which we are renowned for, to inspiring new therapies with immune boosting properties that we foresee will be in very high demand moving forward.”
Hydrating facials to revitalise tired skin
Auriga is introducing Biologique Recherche, celebrated for its result-driven and highly personalised approach to skincare. Those who opt for a facial will begin with an analysis of their skin health by a specially trained therapist in order to receive a unique and tailor-made solution to produce immediate and effective results.
The treatment features a selection of Biologique Recherche boosters to enhance the experience, including Hydrate & Repair, Plump & Revitalise, Exfoliate & Define, and Firm & Refine. All the boosters have been designed by the French luxury skincare brand to stimulate the skin’s natural regenerating properties, providing intense hydration, protection and reparation.
The Biologique Recherche Facial for 60 minutes includes one booster for SGD 250++, while a 90-minute facial with two boosters is priced at SGD 380++.
Other facials offered at Auriga include a selection of holistic facials by The Organic Pharmacy, an organic beauty brand that uses homeopathic principles and pharmaceutical-grade herbal extracts. Highlights include the new Immune Recovery Antioxidant Facial (75 minutes for SGD 225++), which begins with a Himalayan salt inhalation for the lungs and double-cleansing for the skin.
The over 300 lymph nodes in the face and neck are then gently drained with a signature rose crystal massage. Men are also well taken care of with; the Gentlemen’s Facial (60 minutes for SGD 190++ and 90 minutes for SGD 260++).
The deep cleansing treatment is specifically designed for men and uses powerful organic plant extracts to give immediate visible results. Tired skin is revitalised with skin-protecting Aloe Vera extracts and Green Tea antioxidants.
Singapore-inspired treatments and new Auriga Moon Ritual
Staycationers can enjoy locally-inspired treatments, a collection of experiences from our surroundings. Inspired by tradition, culture and healing practices.
The award-winning Senja Sunyi Massage (90 minutes for SGD 260++) combines Asian therapies and massage techniques, featuring warm moonstones, long flowing strokes, stretches and pressure points with hydrating Argan Oil Shea Butter Balm to ease any muscle kinks and knots, while the Nusantara Treatment (90 minutes for SGD 260++) is based on healing traditions of the Malay peninsula, using ginger oil and heated herbal poultices to warm up the muscles and release deep tension.
Loyal Auriga guests will be familiar with Auriga’s signature experiences that complement the varying energies of the lunar cycles. The new menu sees these experiences revamped into one transcendental 3-hour long experience; Auriga’s Signature Moon Ritual, which includes a 30-minute body scrub, 30-minute body wrap, 60-minute body massage and 60-minute facial.
Guests will experience one of four different rituals – New Moon, Waxing Moon, Full Moon and Waning Moon – which will be aligned with the current lunar phase for optimal benefits and a profound holistic experience.
Located on 30 acres of lush rainforest on Sentosa Island, Capella Singapore is a perfect cocoon to rest and rejuvenate. Auriga, whose namesake is a constellation in the northern hemisphere, has a distinctive approach to wellness and beauty based on the cycles of the moon.
