Renowned as Singapore’s first Japanese spa, Ikeda Spa is a serene retreat that feels just like a Japanese hot spring resort. Ikeda specialises in the special Hinoki Onsen bath, which gets its name from the use of hinoki, Japan’s most prized cypress wood once reserved strictly for royalty, and used for building palaces, temples, and shrines.

The Koyamaki Onsen Bath at Elements Wellness lets you experience the wonders of onsen therapy in a cosy private room in the very heart of town. Soak away in energised ion water and microbubbles that are said to relieve chronic pain.

Relax in Spring Heal Spa’s jjimjilbang hot stone sauna, where you’ll find the floor covered in small, smooth stones warmed to a temperature of 38 to 45ºC.

If you constantly suffer from aching muscles, the pressure from the stones is great for loosening those knots.
