Singapore,” said Ms Laura Vallati, General Manager, ESPA at RWS, Resorts World Sentosa.
“With ESPA at RWS, we created an oasis among a bustling and lively island environment. This gem of a spa is the perfect place to unwind, relax and forget time,” said Ms Vallati. “We carved out the spa journey for ESPA at RWS by focusing on ‘bringing the outdoors in’ through landscaped outdoor journeys and views of lush tropical forestry, combined with beautifully designed private and social spaces inside the spa, which will meet every guests’ expectation,” she added.
ESPA at RWS is spread across 10,000 square metres of manicured landscaped gardens, pools and ponds set against a backdrop of picturesque sea views and jungle covered hillsides – equivalent to one-third the size of the National Orchid Garden. Spa-goers can choose to have their treatments in 24 multi-functional treatment rooms with beautiful views, 2 Private Spa Suites overlooking the reflection pool and 2 Beach Villas with dramatic sea views.
Designed for total relaxation and rejuvenation, the spa grounds are dotted with spacious pre- and post treatment relaxation areas for guests to contemplate and meditate. These include the sleep zone and social relaxation lounge with views of the reflection pool, vitality pools, onsen-inspired pools and pavilions set in tropical gardens. From their first step through the door, spa-goers will immerse in a tranquil environment that extends their spa experience beyond the treatments.
A key highlight guests can look forward to among its signature treatments is the first-in-Singapore authentic
Turkish Hammam. Derived from the Arabic word meaning ‘heat’, hammam treatments are the age-old ritual of cleansing and purification in traditional heated bathhouses of Morocco and Turkey that has gained popularity amongst spa enthusiasts. Using the traditional Kese mitt and black olive soap, a full-body foam massage and nourishing mud body mask, these treatments leave you energized and with silky smooth skin.
The spectacular spa environment also features various indoor and outdoor heat and water experiences with
separate areas for men and women. Each section is equipped with its own vitality pool fitted with air and water massage jets, an icy plunge pool, a sauna with uninterrupted views over the pools and forest beyond, and walkways that converge at a Japanese onsen style pool offering views of the lush jungle-covered hillside.
In addition to a comprehensive menu of results-driven body treatments, facials and massages, ESPA at RWS provides a top-to-toe experience with a Nail Studio perfect for social gatherings; a fully-equipped gym; a studio for yoga, pilates and meditation; and The Tangerine Spa Café.
