You’ll feel like you’re tucked away on a tropical island, even though it’s really just Sentosa. For a close-to-nature experience, there are private, Balinese-style outdoor pavilions, plus a man-made waterfall (all the better to pummel knotted backs with), mud pool, labyrinth garden and lounge pool to flop down beside, before and after your treatment. The sprawling spa menu runs the gamut from Tibetan oil and clay massages to anti-ageing facials featuring 24-carat gold. And you don’t even need to get dressed and leave should you get hungry: just pull up a chair at the adjoining garden restaurant. The Sentosa Resort & Spa, 2 Bukit Manis Rd (6371 1130, www.spabotanica.com). Daily 10am-10pm. $85-$380.
