Capella Singapore, Sentosa
For time-strapped travellers, Capella Singapore on Sentosa is the perfect getaway without leaving the country. Auriga Spa’s philosophy traces the cycle of the moon and nature, including its three-hour Auriga Signature Moon Ritual, which is meant to attune the body to its natural cycle through scrubs, body wraps, and gua sha.
Its wellness getaway package combines fitness and vibrational sound therapy — yoga or mat pilates with a sound bath session and an Intuitive Wellness Massage — together with a stay in a villa or suite.
If that’s not enough, add on one of the resort’s local spa experiences, such as the Senja Sunyi, which utilises warm moon stones and massage techniques to melt away any tension in your body.
Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree
Singapore’s first resort in a wildlife park, Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree, is the naturalist’s answer to a quick refresh at Upper Seletar Reservoir. A truly immersive stay in a secondary rainforest, it’ll be easy to put aside the pressures of daily life just for a minute.
Housed in a biophilic design that bends and curves with the surrounding environment, the property’s best room is the Mandai Sanctuary Treehouse, modelled after a seed pod and featuring panoramic views.
Signature treatments include massages with a warm herbal pouch dipped in sesame oil and body scrubs with citronella, pandan, curry leaves, oatmeal, and ylang-ylang essential oil.
Cempedak Island
A rustic weekend out of the city, Cempedak Island is a two and a half hour journey from Singapore. Kick off your shoes and spend the entire getaway barefoot on this private Bintan island as you listen to the waves under bamboo grass roofs.
While Rock Spa may not offer the widest range of treatments, Cempedak is about slow-paced living and appreciating the quieter moments (the resort welcomes guests aged 15 and above).
Get active with activities like nature walks, water sports, and yoga, or relax in utmost privacy in your Beach or Seaview Villa, each with its own private plunge pool, loungers, and bar.
Bawah Reserve, Indonesia
Your wellness journey at Bawah Reserve puts Mother Nature at the forefront of this private island resort, a few hours away from Singapore. Accessible by seaplane from Batam, the resort’s remoteness is part of its charm, surrounded by pristine land and sea.
Choose from six programmes — Active, Balance, Cleanse, Yoga and Meditation, Elysium, and Way of Water — that offer varying levels of activity, including water sports, hikes, and private boat trips to nearby islands. Each retreat lasts at least five days and begins with a Zoom consultation with Bawah’s wellbeing director, even before you leave your home.
REVĪVO Wellness Resort, Bali
A couple that biohacks together stays together. Delve into longevity and biohacking at REVĪVO Wellness Resort with the latest technology personalised to your needs based on epigenetic and biomarker testing, advanced body composition analysis, and continuous health monitoring throughout your stay.
Level up from cold plunges and saunas to tech-assisted recovery treatments ranging from cellular regenerative technologies, such as IV therapy and peptides, to lymphatic therapies as part of the resort’s foundational pillars to wellness.
The Vitality Centre also offers Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Training (IHHT), which simulates high-altitude training, and regenerative, non-invasive facials in partnership with Cocoon Medical Spa.
Layan Life by Anantara, Phuket
Tap into ancient Thai healing practices, supported by modern technology, at Layan Life by Anantara. Led by longevity doctor Sataporn Wangthitikul and a team of certified professionals and nurses, the Traditional Thai Medicine For Life retreat offers a holistic approach to longevity and biohacking, spanning three to 10 nights.
Throughout the programme, you’ll receive traditional Thai medicine (TTM) treatments such as Rajasamnak (Royal Thai Therapeutic Massage, acupressure on energy lines), Herbal Salted Clay Pot Revitalisation, IV drips for brain support, and cryotherapy.
As an add-on, the resort’s clinic also offers aesthetic treatments, including facials and Botox.
Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary, Koh Samui
Recognising that emotional balance is as important as physical health, the Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary offers programmes led by Life Enhancement Mentors. Ranging from five to 21 nights, the holistic treatments combine Chinese, Korean, Indian, and modern technological practices as well as impart tools to help release emotional blockages, explore past trauma, develop self-compassion, and achieve inner balance.
Set on the southern coast of Koh Samui, the award-winning resort partners with more than 50 certified wellness professionals from diverse backgrounds.
Founded in 2004, Kamalaya centres its healing experience on the natural environment, with only 76 rooms and suites. A centuries-old cave on the resort’s grounds, once used by Buddhist monks for meditation, continues to welcome those looking for respite.
Chiva-Som Hua Hin, Thailand
With up to 16 retreats to choose from, Chiva-Som Hua Hin offers couples with separate wellness goals the opportunity to enjoy parallel treatment, coming together only for activities of their choice.
The discreet and tranquil resort continues to win awards for its holistic approach, nutritious cuisine, and world-class facilities, including its 2026 inclusion on Condé Nast Traveller’s Gold List.
Retreats range from stress relief and fitness to detox with natural remedies and immune resilience, supported by modern technologies such as genomic testing and sleep support. Interestingly, the resort offers a Total Golf Enhancement programme, where those looking to improve their swing can receive specialised guidance from Golf Biomechanics.
The Farm at San Benito, Philippines
The OG detox resort in the Philippines, The Farm at San Benito in Lipa, Batangas, was opened in 2002 on 52ha of verdant land. The sprawling grounds encompass various natural landscapes, including a 300-year-old mango tree, a freshwater sanctuary, a 5,700 sqm organic farm, and a labyrinth to encourage slow, meditative walks as part of your wellness journey.
In addition to an integrative medical centre and spa, The Farm has a fully equipped aqua hydrotherapy spa, including a hydraulic massage bed, pressurised deep-tissue therapy, and hydro hilot (traditional Filipino healing art) massage.
Tia Wellness Resort, Vietnam
Situated in Da Nang, Tia Wellness Resort is one of Vietnam’s pioneering wellness resorts. Since 2008, by fine-tuning its holistic treatments, they’ve continued to win awards and expand their therapy repertoire, including aerial flow therapy, in which guests are suspended in a hammock within a light, immersive space.
Choose from four or seven nights across three Private Retreat options: Strength & Recovery, Creative Healing Retreat, and Body & Mind Cleanse. All of which include a one-on-one guide for the entire stay, a menu catered to your needs, and nightly treatments.
The best part? All of the resorts’ villas include a private pool and courtyard garden.
