Asmara Tropical Spas

Take a day trip to the island of Bintan for one of the most relaxing experiences you'll ever have. A trip to Asmara Tropical Spas is worth a day-trip to Bintan by itself. In the spirit of relaxation, your rejuvenation process begins the moment you step inside the Spa. There are three Asmara Tropical Spa outlets on the Indonesian island of Bintan, just 45 minutes by ferry from Singapore. The main outlet is at the Mayang Sari Beach Resort, while the others are at the Nirwana Resort Hotel and the Ria Bintan Golf Club. At the Mayang Sari outlet, your experience begins in the famous Green Room where you wait amongst the enclosed green foliage of a lush tropical garden, and extends to the luxurious pavilions that incorporate both indoor and outdoor elements. The treatments are wide-ranging with a little something for everyone. From a full-body massage to body scrubs, body masques, manicures, pedicures and even special men’s treatments, you’re sure to find something to suit you. Possibly the best that Asmara has to offer is the pavilion experience. Beautifully decorated, it’s like stepping into a different world where all that matters is you feeling pampered. It’s here that you’ll experience the Asmara’s signature treatment – the Asmara Mandi Lulur. Beginning with a gentle herbal scrub, followed by a creamy yoghurt rub to moisturise your skin, you’ll then take a shower within the pavilion’s private garden before being eased into heaven with a full body massage. Finally, finishing your rejuvenation, you’ll head back to the private garden and relax into a perfumed flower bath. Elsewhere at the Nirwana Resort Hotel you can enjoy a relaxing massage in a rustic warung or in the comfort of a private spa suite overlooking lush tropical greenery. At the Ria Bintan Golf Club get a massage after a game of golf on one of Asia’s premier courses. FOR RESERVATIONS: Address: Asmara Tropical Spas at 69A Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088490.

The Red Peach Boutique Spa

Not content with the many forms of traditional Oriental massage, there is one boutique spa in the heart of Chinatown that has set itself apart by mixing them all together. The Red Peach Boutique Spa on Pagoda Street in the heart of Chinatown has been making a name for itself since 2003 with its unique blend of Asian traditional therapeutic treatments. In the theme of Oriental tradition, everything here is designed to relax. From the moment you sip on some green tea in a Japanese style tatami room, to the preparation of the steam room, to the massage itself, this is Asian hospitality at its best. The treatments here reflect the spa’s Asian roots, with Ancient Chinese Massage, Oriental Foot Reflexology and Maiden Traditional Facials. The real treat here though is the Asian Blend Massage – a concoction of all the best Asian treatments available. Combining a unique blend of Chinese, Balinese, Japanese Shiatsu and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage techniques, then throwing in some long calculated strokes, stretching, skin rolling, palm and thumb techniques, this is one massage that will ease away everything. This Singapore experience however doesn’t stop with the massage treatments. The spa is located in an old shophouse, complete with the old spiral staircase leading up to the treatment rooms, which are elegantly decorated with Ming style furniture so you can be sure you’ll feel a million miles from the bustling Chinatown streets outside. There are also rooms for two so you can make this a romantic way to get the full treatment with your loved one.
