3. Best New Spa Escape

Banyan Tree Spa at Mandai Rainforest Resort

A homecoming for local brand Banyan Tree, the new Mandai Rainforest Resort takes inspiration from its lush surroundings, with beautiful tropical-inspired rooms and villas looking out at the reservoir. The spa takes the brand’s well-known expertise in soothing, relaxing treatments and offers spa-goers a place to rest and unwind. Their three pangolin-inspired spa pods are exclusive treatment rooms complete with changing area and bathroom. After your treatment, be sure to relax in the lobby with tea and snacks while watching the monkeys roam outside.

4. Best Spa For Bojin Treatments

Beauty Full Skin Wellness

Experts in bojin therapy, Beauty Full Skin Wellness applies this ancient Chinese technique to their treatments to help in all areas of wellness from facials to slimming. Using a special tool made of buffalo horn, the bojin treatments are great for targeting issues from tight muscles to sagging skin and stubborn bulges. We were impressed by the level of comfort and efficacy of the treatments, plus the therapists’ knowledge. The spa also offers other traditional Chinese treatments such as moxibustion.

5. Best Luxurious Space For Hair Treatments

Chez Vous Private Space

Tucked away in Ngee Ann City, this gorgeous space offers a purely indulgent hair and wellness experience. In addition to having expert therapists handle your hair needs, from hair health to colour and style suggestions, the spa offers tea-time treats (and instant noodles for the very hungry) as well as “work-from-salon” benefits such as free wifi, power outlets and even printing facilities. There are 10 private rooms, four semi-enclosed cabins and four semi-enclosed couple rooms. It is without a doubt one of the most pampering places to get your hair done with a little relaxation to boot.

6. Best New City Spa

Damai at Grand Hyatt Singapore

When it reopened this year, Damai at the Grand Hyatt was more than renovated. This new, swanky spa boasts high-tech treatments that delve deep into the needs of both the body and mind. The treatments were created to address modern-life ailments such as headaches, fatigue, sleep issues and jet lag – not just physically, but as a whole. All our reviewers came out feeling lighter and more at peace, experiencing better sleep afterwards. Be sure to go early and enjoy their facilities including sauna, steam room and hydro pool.

7. Best New Wellness Retreat

With a location that overlooks the Singapore river, J’s Salon has long been a go-to for indulgent and relaxing hair treatments that are also extremely effective. Spanning 6,000 sq ft, the salon has lots of space to ensure your experience is private and comfortable. Besides hair services, the salon offers face, body and slimming treatments as well as manicure and pedicure services. You can also enjoy a variety of drinks and snacks during your treatment, so go ahead and spend the day there.

9. Best Spa For Maternity Treatments

Madam Partum

With two outlets conveniently located in the east and west, Madam Partum has been helping pre- and postpartum mums soothe their aches and pains since 2018. With skilled therapists who have expert knowledge on what mums need in a massage treatment, the brand is a go-to for new mums and mums-to-be. They also offer TCM and lactation consultations.

10. Best Overall Medi-Spa
