Raf fles Hotel has to be one of
Singapore’s best locations for a day
spa: soaring ceilings, period chandeliers
and that sense of colonial
je ne sais quoi
will quickly put you in the mood for some
serious pampering.
Billed as “an indulgent chocolate
de-ageing experience”, this 150-minute
treatment is a trilogy of exfoliating scrub,
relaxingmassage and rejuvenating wrap.

Gommage scrub carefully
and methodically. After you’ve
rinsed off the residue in your
in-room shower cubicle, it’s
time for the Chocolatier’s
Massage. The stuff smells
so good that you could be in
danger of chewing off your
own arm, like a mountaineer
trapped in the Andes. You won’t get
a strong massage from this particular
therapist, though, as she has a uniformly
light touch.
Loosely wrapped with plastic cling-
film, you’re treated to a quick head,
neck and face pressure-point massage
and then left to marinate for 20 minutes.
Then it’s back into the shower to wash
it all off, before a full-body moisturising
rub to maximise the glow factor.
KEY BENEFITS:
• Exfoliated skin more easily absorbs
the active ingredients in the
chocolatey wrap
• Chocolate has outstanding
emollient proper ties, and is
said to have four times more
antioxidants than green tea; its
phenolic compounds seek out and
destroy free radicals, and protect
body tissues from the effects of
metabolic waste
