Spa Botanica

Singapore’s first garden destination spa—award-winning Spa Botanica at The Sentosa Resort and Spa—is home to Asia’s first mud pools, float pools with a cascading waterfalls and meditation labyrinths.

Its many accolades include Best Luxury Resort Spa and Best Luxury Destination Spa by the World Luxury Spa Awards 2011, Best Getaway in Harper’s Bazaar Spa Awards 2011 and sixth in Condé Nast Traveller UK Readers’ Spa Awards 2008 - Top Ten Day Spas (Overseas).

Built on the concept of a botanical garden, Spa Botanica’s 15 indoor treatment rooms are named after local spices and its six outdoor spa pavilions are named after popular local floral blooms. With state-of-the-art facilities like the region’s first mud pools, float pools with cascading waterfalls, labyrinths, Galaxy steam baths and Vichy showers, Spa Botanica’s extensive indoor and outdoor spa garden facilities provide a conducive environment for physical and mental cleansing and relaxation.

Two labyrinths, the first in Asia, encourage guests to quiet their minds through meditative walks. The beautiful, individually landscaped gardens that surround the outdoor pavilions and spa gardens bathe guests in the sweet fragrance of flowers and the quiet rustle of nature’s sounds. For women who prefer more privacy, there is a special ladies’ only area located within the lush spa gardens.

The indoor treatment rooms cater to both couples and individuals. The Spa Botanica Suite is a luxurious treat with its own private outdoor deck, spacious treatment areas and a hydro-bath. In the Royal Suite, the King’s Bath is a couples’ favourite. Hand-tooled meticulously from 450 kg of cast bronze, it has the ability to retain the warmth of a sensuous milk, floral or herbal bath.

Nestled next to Spa Botanica, The Garden restaurant is a favourite with spa goers who can expect to indulge in wholesome contemporary cuisine that infuses gourmet dining with the right balance of nutritious and health-giving benefits.
