Singapore is getting a new world record with a massive So SPA facility opening its doors at Singapore Resort and Spa Sentosa, a stylish property on Singapore’s leisure island.
SINGAPORE – The largest So SPA in the world has opened in the heart of Sentosa offering rejuvenating world traditions and the latest in French cosmetology. Located at the 6,000-square-metre heritage site previously known as Spa Botanica, So SPA has been lightly rejuvenated with stylish fittings while preserving the colonial charm.
Guests will experience So SPA with 14 indoor treatment rooms, six outdoor pavilions with private gardens, and unique indoor and outdoor treatment facilities. Guests get to enjoy the unique Spa Garden concept with mud pool and float pool with cascading waterfall, or spend time to keep their minds at peace in the meditative labyrinth. For those who prefer more privacy, a special ladies’ only area is located within the lush spa gardens.
Explore a new kind of spa journey with a wide range of poetic and surprising treatments in a menu inspired by gastronomy. Reminiscent of a gourmet French restaurant, treatments are sectioned into Starters, Mains, Specials and Desserts for guests to customise their very own pampering therapy.
Signature treatments are inspired by local elements and exclusive to So SPA such as ‘The Sentosa Massage’ – the treatment is based on four main cultures of Singapore where East meets West, delivering an intense experience of harmony and relaxation. Treatments can be tailor-made and choosen from a selection of essential oils, choice of pillows, and post-treatment teas. Other signature treatments that are found in So SPAs around the world include the So Exhilarating Massage and So Rejuvenating Facial, both focusing on a euphoric experience.
Moving away from the traditional concept of spas as sanctuaries, So SPA is an inviting and socialising place that provides a very personal experience. A socialising patio encourages spa-goers to interact with one other, and is perfect for a group spa party. For a more intimate experience, guests can seek solace in the deep relaxation room, designed to calm the mind.
