If you’re looking for a true retreat from
the daily grind, head to ESPA, set
against a backdrop of manicured lawns
and lush greenery next to a rainforest
and opposite the luxury Equarius Hotel
and Beach Villas.
The 10,000-square-foot spa, which
boasts numerous treatment rooms, a
big 24-hour gym, sleep rooms, and full
spa facilities including hot and cold
pools, offers holistic “spa-cations” with
tailored programmes to energise and
recharge you.
With ESPA’s day retreats, you can
choose one of four programmes: De-
stress, Introduction to Detox, Fit for Life,
or Weight Management. All programmes
include a lifestyle consultation, full use of
the spa facilities before your treatment,
one 60-minute and one 45-minute
treatment, and a nutritious meal in
Tangerine restaurant run by celebrity
chef Sam Leong.
After fillingout a detailedquestionnaire
about your lifestyle and general health,
your retreat begins with a lifestyle
consultation with a qualified naturopath
who talks you through any specific
issues you may have, and helps give
tailored advice. If you’d like to book a
more detailed session for another time,
the spa also offers naturopathic and
nutritional counselling.
Next, move on to use the expansive
spa facilities – or even have a workout
in the gym before your treatment. (After
you’ve advance-booked your treatment
time, you’ll be advised to arrive an hour
or so earlier to enjoy all the spa has to
offer.) Cleanse yourself of impurities
in the hammam steam room, or zone
out in the spacious sauna area with its
picturesque garden views.
Then it’s onto your personalised
treatment and massage, which includes
a 60--minute tailored treatment (ranging
from longmassages to anti-cellulite body
wraps) according to your programme.
You’ll also be treated to a salt and oil
scrub, along with a relaxing, 45-minute
reflexology foot massage.
ESPA day retreat programmes cost $450. Overnight retreats
(including a room at Equarius Hotel, spa treatments and three
meals) start from $718. 8 Sentosa Gateway.
