Why You’ll Love It: Guests who return always tell me that they come back because of our therapists. They also share that they love the personal touches and customizations they receive as it makes them feel pampered and special.

Key Features: All our spa amenities are from Zents, a luxurious wellness line of hydrating, healing and ultra-gentle body care from the United States. Zents is used by most of our CHI, The Spas around the world and it’s an organic line that is just delightful.

Insider’s Tip: Currently we are running an “Off Peak” special, where guests can enjoy 20% off our regular rates on Mondays to Wednesdays between 10 a.m to 3 p.m. After the spa treatment, they can enjoy a delightful local afternoon high tea set the Lobby Lounge. To me, that is the perfect closure to the day—lounging with good food and a rejuvenated mind in our iconic lobby at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.

Snacks Served: Every morning, our chefs brew our signature teas and it rotates every week between the ginger tea and the lemongrass tea. They are absolutely delicious and great to soothe tension and nerves. We also offer guests complimentary nuts and dried fruits such as almonds, apricots and figs, which are healthy and nutritious. These wellness treats are created with the best interests of our guests in mind.

Bonus: We love to surprise and delight our guests. On special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries, the team will take extra care to surprise our guests with a gift or voucher. We also offer in-house guests special rates as a value-add to their stay.

Insider’s Favorite: My all-time favorite is the Better Sleep Treatment. I really think sleep is a major commodity now. Everyone I know and meet always shares that they really need some additional eye-shut. This treatment starts with a warm foot soak followed by 90 minutes of Himalayan salt stone massage; culminating in a relaxing Marma Point Scalp Massage. This is greatfor our business travelers and even our mothers who are able to get away from the little ones for some much-needed pampering.

CHI, The Spa offers holistic treatments inspired by time-honoured Asian traditions.

Unique Treatment: I strongly believe our Signature Asian Blend Massage is our most unique treatment. There is a wonderful story behind its creation: Mr Carlos Calvo, Assistant Vice President, Spa (Training) of Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts embarked on a trip around Asia to pick out the best from each Asian massage such as Ayurveda, Thai Massage, and Urut from Malaysia to curate the Signature Asian Blend. This treatment is unique and offers guests a truly Asian experience where massage journeys go.

Splurge Treatment: This has definitely got to be our signature Singaporean Wellness Escape. It’s our most popular treatment and is perfect for guests celebrating their anniversaries or special occasions. It’s an amazing package featuring 2.5 hours of pampering in the spa followed by a three-course healthy, indulgent lunch by the pool.
