And in case you haven’t noticed, many of these establishments go all out to differentiate their spa offerings beyond the quintessential treatment – from onsen pools and hot tubs with silky micro-bubbles to steam rooms cast in a psychedelic glow.

So whether you’re looking for a relaxing retreat on your staycation or a short, pampering escape from everyday stress, Daily Vanity has got you covered with our round-up of the 18 best hotel massages and spas that are sure to leave you utterly blissed out. You’re welcome!

Hotel massage & spa in Singapore: Heavenly Spa by Westin at The Westin Singapore

Heading into the CBD for a getaway to heal and recharge might seem like an oxymoronic concept but The Westin Singapore paints a compelling case with its R&R cocoon known as Heavenly Spa.

Luxuriate in the ritzy marble-clad treatment rooms while skilled therapists use Swedish-style long strokes and kneading motions in the signature Heavenly Massage to smooth out kinks and tensions. For an utterly blissful experience, the spa also offers a steam room and a whirlpool for guests to peruse.

Hotel massage & spa in Singapore: Pürovel Spa & Sport at Swissotel Merchant Court

Pürovel Spa & Sport may not be a household name here in Singapore, but make no mistake – it’s hot on the heels of the more established competitors in our island. Indeed, the Swiss brand is a global name, with locations scattered across the world.

Inspired by the alpine seasons, Pürovel Spa & Sport is Singapore’s first luxury Swiss spa and focuses on the four stages of natural vitality: renewal, peak activity, recovery, and hibernation.

Although the space is temporarily closed during the pandemic, you can expect to find treatments – ranging from contemporary therapies to traditional ayurvedic massages – here that are meant to awaken and energise, while facilities like the sauna, steam rooms, and 24-hour wellness centres are to further soothe and strengthen.

Our suggestion? Keep your eyes peeled on the reopening, so you can be one of the first few to secure an appointment!

Hotel massage & spa in Singapore: Remède Spa at The St. Regis Singapore

The St. Regis brand is synonymous with decadence, and it’s certainly the name of the game here at Remède Spa’s first branch in Asia, which is found on the quieter end of the Orchard Road shopping belt in The St. Regis Singapore.

Unlike your traditional Asian spa, this ultra-chic spa takes the relaxing experience up a notch with indulgent amenities such as eucalyptus-scented steam chambers, a Finnish dry-heat sauna, a Vichy shower, a hydro-massage pool, and a peaceful outdoor hot whirlpool – all of these sure make up for its lack in space for outdoor cabanas and sweeping pools like other spas, in our opinion.

There’s also the Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by renowned pedicurist Bastian Gonzalez for you to pamper your nails as well, and the spa menu consists of various face and body therapies as well as bathing rituals that heavily emphasise the element of water.

Address: 29 Tanglin Road, The St. Regis Singapore, Singapore 247911

Hotel massage & spa in Singapore: Spa by JW at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach

Just like the swanky and artsy hotel that it’s parked in, Spa by JW ditches conventional Balinese-inspired style for modern interiors that call to mind upmarket salons. Ask for the 90-minute Signature Massage, which offers you thorough rejuvenation through a combination of acupressure, gua sha, long strokes, and stretching techniques.

Your treatment booking also comes with complimentary usage of the usual spa facilities such as the sauna and steam rooms, but one that’s particularly noteworthy is the whirlpool that creates a luxurious satin-like sensation with micro-bubbles.

Hotel massage & spa in Singapore: St. Gregory Spa at Pan Pacific and PARKROYAL hotels island-wide

Located at four hotels island-wide – Pan Pacific Singapore, Pan Pacific Orchard, PARKROYAL On Beach Road, and PARKROYAL On Pickering, the spa is touted as a necessary staycay stopover with each branch offering different themes and emphasis to restore and rejuvenate fatigued urbanites with face and body therapies that are powered by Elemis products.

Hotel massage & spa in Singapore: The Fullerton Spa at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore

You don’t need us to tell you that The Fullerton Hotel’s magic lies in its heritage – the building itself is simply a breathtaking colonial masterpiece but The Fullerton Spa is no less dazzling.

Situated on the mezzanine floor, the spa boasts classic yet luxurious décor, along with a range of renowned treatments co-curated with world-renowned premium spa brand, ESPA.

The main highlight is the 90-minute Asian Heritage Signature (S$306), which combines the Orient’s most well-known (and fairly intense) massage practices for a balanced well-being.

Hotel massage & spa in Singapore: The Ritz-Carlton Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore

Lavish is the probably the best way to describe the rooms at The Ritz-Carlton Singapore – in case you haven’t seen the countless photos on social media, every hotel room boasts a giant marble bathtub that comes with its own glorious views of either the Marina Bay or Kallang River area, and the eponymous spa is just as opulent.

Case in point: instead of the usual blankets, you’ll be luxuriously ensconced in silken sheets before your treatment commences. Not only that, The Ritz-Carlton Spa is also the only full-fledged La Mer spa partner in Asia Pacific, so you know the facials here just shouldn’t be missed.

The La Mer Custom Facial (from S$290), for instance, promises to hydrate and sculpt your face while pampering you with massage after massage – there are face and neck-and-shoulder massages during both the serum and mask application stages, followed by another eye massage to soothe tired peepers.

Another particularly unique offering found at The Ritz-Carlton Spa that you should check out is the Cello Concerto (from S$480), which is essentially a massage synchronised to the music of a live cellist – how cool is that?!

While you’re at it, do also make time to take advantage of the spa facilities (complimentary with spa bookings) such as the jacuzzi pool, steam room, and experiential showers.

Hotel massage & spa in Singapore: The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

Located near the hotel’s pool area, Mandarin Oriental’s The Spa is said to draw its inspiration from Singapore’s rich heritage, offering a myriad of signature therapies, facials, and massages in a tranquil setting.

We love the sound of the 90-minute Inner Strength treatment (S$280), a tailored full-body massage designed to ease muscle tensions and emotional anxiety. It features a mix of massage techniques, and uses a heated compress to stimulate blood circulation.

The massage also uses the Aromatherapy Associates’ Inner Strength oil, an essential oil blend of clary sage, frankincense, cardamom, rosemary, rose, vetiver, and geranium that brings about calming, strengthening, healing, and balancing effects.

The treatment concludes with applied pressure to the reflex points on the feet to further awaken the senses. After the massage, you can head to the comfy lounge to relax before slowly easing back into reality.

Other treatments that sound equally as wonderful are The Spa’s collection of locally inspired therapies such as Orchid Dream (S$400 for two hours), Teh Hijau (S$330 for 105 minutes), and Pandan Bliss (S$220 for one hour).

DV tip: Arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment to enjoy the spa’s steam facilities and the Experience Shower.
