Date nights (or days) are an essential ingredient for any healthy relationship – but sometimes you don’t want to go out for another movie and dinner. What’s next? Bringing your husband to a spa. It might just be the relaxation and bonding experience that you have been looking for. For The Weekly’s Spa Awards 2022, we sent testers to try couple massage treatments all over town. And we also took the opportunity to check out treatments for men. They make for a great gift, especially before an important event.
Here are the winners.
Willow Stream Spa Couple Bliss Package
Couples Bliss gives you 60 or 90 minutes of couple time that includes a pampering side-by-side massage, which uses a blend of essential oils and purposefully designed movements to stimulate circulation, promote deep relaxation and restore the flow of energy through the body. For peace of mind, Willow Stream Spa has received the SG CLEAN certificate following an audit by external accessors. This means hygiene and sanitation measures meet high standards of environmental public hygiene.
$318 for 60 minutes; $468 for 90 minutes

It’s luxury and indulgence all the way as *two* (yes, two) massage therapists work at the same time “to create a sensory journey”. The treatment also includes a foot massage and the ESPA Signature Facial. Using spa-exclusive products from Europe, the facial aims to purify, hydrate, brighten and smoothen skin. Any man will feel (and look) like a King after this pampering session.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Alpha Male
This luxurious three-hour treatment is ideal for pre-wedding grooming, because it’s top to toe. It starts with a Welcome Foot Ritual to set the mood. Then he’s pampered with a series of exfoliating body scrubs using Asian herbs, deep therapeutic massage and a bespoke facial – which can include extraction if needed. Our tester said: “I was not sure about the foot soak at the start, but it does set the mood and get you ready for the treatments. I loved the massage and facial, and floated out of the spa afterwards feeling so relaxed. My wife said my skin looked fresher, brighter and more alive.”
