Founder and CEO of Saint Bella, Danny Xiang, shares more on elevating the postpartum journey
Recovering from giving birth is a long journey—one of recovery and adjustment to parenthood. Fortunately for new mothers, Hangzhou-based maternity care company Saint Bella has reached our shores, transforming the postpartum experience into one of comfort, rejuvenation and luxury.
Taking time to recuperate from childbirth is a culturally-rooted practice, particularly in many Asian countries. The concept of confinement differs in various cultures, where new mothers are confined at home for a period of time, allowing them to rest, eat and bond with their new baby.
With Saint Bella’s launch of Bella Villa at the elegant Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island, a luxury resort-style maternity and baby care service, new mothers can now rest and recover in the comfort of one of its luxurious suites.

Saint Bella founder and chief executive officer Danny Xiang shares that the charming Sentosa hotel was been picked due to its exclusivity and privacy. He explains: “[Capella Hotel] offers an intimate and secluded setting, which is ideal for this kind of personalised, luxury experience we aim to provide.”
Xiang founded the brand in 2017, with a mission to “empower beautiful and extraordinary women to undergo personal growth during this transformative space”. Over the years, the brand has established collaborations with various hotels across China, including Waldorf Astoria, Mandarin Oriental and Rosewood. “Each day brings a mix of exhilaration when successfully addressing complex challenges,” he explains.

On bringing the luxurious concept to Singapore, Xiang shares: “We didn’t want to set our foot in the region until we are the leading brand in Asia. It took us five years to become the number one brand in Asia and now we think is the time to extend our presence.” He adds that over the years, Singapore has grown to become a global travel hub with a worldwide reputation for excellent healthcare.

A wide selection of suites and manors are available to choose from, including the lavish Capella Manor that boasts a 46-inch flat-screen TV and Bose sound system, Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, a private outdoor terrace and more. On top of this, each suite or manor comes with 24-hour nursing care services, provided by trained nurses and care specialists. Xiang adds that its nursing model “offers scientific and comprehensive professional services for each baby”, personalising its services to each child.
Its child development programs also offer early infant education training programmes and therapies to help newborns reach their developmental milestones.
On top of taking care of the newborn, various services also place emphasis on the mother’s physical and emotional health, including one-on-one consultations, routine breast care and postpartum care. The latter sees the Saint Bella team observing and evaluating the mother’s postpartum mental health and providing lactation guidance and mastitis prevention services. Professional perineal and caesarean section incisions management, and lactation consultation services are also provided.
In addition, Saint Bella offers workshops to reduce stress and boost creativity during the confinement period. For example, a craft activity that allows mothers to create a memento honouring beautiful memories of her and her new baby. Before the confinement period ends, a Full Month Celebration and newborn photography sessions will also be arranged, to capture lasting memories of the baby’s first few weeks.
