Feeling stressed and need a quick escape? Embark on a transformative journey with these wellness retreats in the heart of Singapore, where you can discover a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience as you immerse yourself in rejuvenating activities designed to nurture your mind, body, and soul.
From soothing spa treatments to mindfulness workshops amidst lush greenery, these retreats offer a convenient yet immersive getaway, allowing you to recharge and reconnect with yourself without venturing far from the urban oasis. Your serene escape awaits.
Treating yourself to a rejuvenating spa day is among the easiest ways to unwind, providing your fatigued body the much-needed indulgence it craves and granting your restless mind a genuine respite. Consider immersing yourself in the tranquility of Chi, The Spa at Shangri-La Singapore. Nestled in a serene alcove right beside a cascading waterfall, this wellness haven boasts a total of nine treatment chambers.
Embrace the chance to embark on an extensive journey towards wellness with the Singapore Wellness Escape, a thoughtfully curated experience led by seasoned spa professionals and accompanied by a revitalising, wholesome poolside meal. The 2 hours 30 minute experience offers guests a wide array of body treatments, massages and facial treatments to choose from.
For example, you can combine the Turkish Body Scrub experience – where eucalyptus and aromatherapy essences are combined with sea salts to exfoliate and revitalise the skin, infusing it with minerals and oils for a wonderfully soft, smooth, and invigorated feel – with the Signature Asian Blend Massage, where the skilled therapists combine traditional techniques like Thai pressure points, Balinese and Malaysian strokes, and Chinese energy flow to restore and balance your body's energy.
After your treatment, head over to the Waterfall Ristorante, right beside the spa and very much still within the lush sanctuary, for a light and healthy post-massage meal. The three-course menu includes starting options such as a salad or a refreshing tomato consommé, a main course meal with the option of either trout or risotto, and a guilt-free dessert in the form of a gluten-free chocolate cake.
