1. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Singapore
At Mandarin Oriental’s The Spa, you’ll be pampered with treatments that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. A wide range of treatments and services are available—on top of its signature sessions, look forward to locally-inspired treatments too. Pamper yourself after your session and indulge in its Suite Moment, a spa experience that can be done with your loved ones and features an hour of private usage of heat and water therapy. If that isn’t enticing enough, the experience also includes a glass of Champagne and light refreshments.
The experience
During my visit to Mandarin Oriental Singapore, I opted for The Essence of The Garden City treatment. Before the session began, I filled in a questionnaire that allowed us to pick the spots we wanted to focus on. The session began with a relaxing herbal exfoliation followed by a traditional Malay massage that uses Bethel leaves and a hot compress of locally blended Jamu oil. Throughout the session, the masseuse was adaptable to my needs, regularly checking if I was comfortable while tailoring the massage to suit our bodies. The session finished with an ancient Malay tummy wrap using a traditional Batik corset. I was told that this would aid in strengthening the abdomen. By the end of the two hours I felt relaxed and rejuvenated.
