10 best bathhouses for your next self-care day

Whether you’ve just competed in Hyrox, are training for the island’s next upcoming marathon, or simply come off a long, tense week at work, recovery for both body and mind is essential. 

And what better way to detox than a self-care day at a bathhouse. For centuries, bathhouses have been a place to rinse off and socialise. Today, they’ve modernised into communal wellness spaces for relaxation, typically through hot-and-cold (or contrast) therapy. 

From restorative soaks in Japanese onsens and cold plunges, to saunas and relaxation lounges - some even featuring movie theatres and buffet halls - these experiences can help reduce muscle soreness, improve circulation, calm the nervous system and reset your mood.

Here are Singapore’s best bathhouses and wellness havens where you can unwind and leave feeling lighter, clearer and ready for the week ahead.

Capybara Bathing

Housed in a heritage shophouse in Tanjong Pagar, the newly opened boutique wellness space, Capybara Bathing, boasts a wide range of amenities right in central Singapore. Each bathing visit includes a 90 minutes access to the communal bathing facilities, which includes a mineral infused thermal bath, cold plunge, a traditional hot stone sauna, a Turkish hammam inspired steam room and a gently heated lounge with an ice well. Customers can also experience classes accompanying their soak such as a sound immersion experience or a 45-minute vinyasa flow yoga session.
