For all that 2020 put us through, a pat on the back and a well-deserved pampering session are certainly in order. With hotel spas rolling out new treatment menus for the festive season, it’s the perfect time to book yourself in for a skin-rejuvenating facial or a relaxing full-body massage.
Last December, Capella Singapore‘s Auriga Spa rolled out a bunch of new wellness experiences, including locally-inspired treatments and facials, as well as upgraded versions of their best-selling signature therapies. Parisian luxury skincare brand Biologique Recherche is the latest addition to the facial line-up, with personalised treatments that include boosters to stimulate the skin’s natural regenerating properties for increased hydration and protection. Go for the 60-minute Biologique Recherche Facial, inclusive of one booster for S$250 or a 90-minute session with two boosters for S$380.
To take the pampering up a notch, go for Auriga’s Signature Moon Ritual—a three-hour long experience combining the spa’s signature experiences, which are designed to complement the changing energies of the lunar cycles. Guests will luxuriate in a 30-minute body scrub, 30- minute body wrap, 60-minute body massage, as well as a 60-minute facial.
To ease backaches from long hours of working from home, go for the award-winning Senja Sunyi Massage (90 minutes for S$260), which combines Asian therapies and massage techniques such as long flowing strokes, stretches, and pressure points.

Fancy a wellness retreat in the heart of the city? The Fullerton Hotel Singapore has teamed up with premium British spa brand ESPA to launch a new range of treatments and products. For radiant skin, go for The Fullerton Signature Facial, a treatment that visibly improves skin via a triple cleanse, application of nutrient-rich formulas, followed by a bespoke facial massage to boost blood circulation. Priced from S$220, the treatment comes with a complimentary ESPA gift box consisting of an eye shade and one travel-sized Overnight Hydration Therapy treatment mask.
To help guests unwind from head to toe, the Asian Heritage Signature treatment (90 minutes, S$260) comes with a stress-relieving scalp massage and a deep muscle massage, using powerful, specialised massage techniques which target areas in need of attention, whether it’s a stiff neck or tight shoulders.
Meanwhile, the Hero Treatment (90 minutes, S$320) works to release tension and boost complexion with a personalised facial, along with targeted massage techniques that are combined with pure aromatherapy oils. Expect to emerge from the session feeling restored and refreshed.
