Singapore - so zentastic!
The vibrant business city on the equator is the new Asia hotspot for body & soul! The range of luxurious day spas, beauty salons, fitness temples and boutique yoga studios for a well-heeled international clientele is almost endless.
Thanks to its colonial heritage, Singapore is a melting pot of cultures, and so there is also plenty to discover in terms of wellbeing during a stroll through the city's historic districts: an Ayurveda treatment in lively Little India - Bollywood feeling included - or a visit to a traditional hamam in the Arab district of Kampong Glam. In China Town, one pharmacy for traditional Chinese medicine follows the next amidst Chinese temples and food stalls and you immediately feel like you're in the Middle Kingdom.
You don't even have to leave your hotel in the Lion City to indulge in total relaxation: the legendary Raffles Hotel is not only world-famous for its high tea in a beautiful ambience - you can also enjoy colonial flair in the stylish Raffles Amrita Spa. A true icon in the Singapore skyline is the Marina Bay Sands Hotel with the world's largest rooftop pool. The spectacular view of the city can be enjoyed not only while relaxing by the pool, but also during sunrise yoga on the hotel's viewing platform or while being pampered in the beautiful Banyan Tree Spa. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is also following the yoga trend and offers private lessons in the outdoor yoga pavilion by the pool. After a treatment in the exclusive Mandarin Oriental Spa, the Experience Shower is a must-try: pure color and aromatherapy combined with changing water pressure in the form of a pleasantly warm Tropical Rain, the Polar Storm or the wonderfully refreshing Polar Mist, in which the finest cool, mint-scented mist envelops the body in light blue light. If you want to escape the city, you can take a break in a tropical ambience at the Capella Resort on Sentosa Island.
