Spa In A Park

What do you get when you put together a spa and a park? Why, a spark of course! And a bright new spark in the spa industry is exactly what Aramsa is. It combines all the goodness of a spa in an all-new natural garden setting right in the heart of Bishan Park. Aramsa is a great spa getaway which provides all the freedom and pampering you need, without having to troop to another island.

Spread spaciously across 7500 square meters, the spa blends beautifully with its lush external surroundings, open spaces and thematic gardens. It took six months and $2 million to develop Aramsa, which comprises of eleven single-storey buildings, a lounge, a wellness studio, an organic health café and a retail outlet. The spa which is barely a year new has already bagged the ‘Best Spa Experience’ award from the Singapore Tourism Board. Propelling itself as a new concept spa in a park and the first-of-its-kind in Southeast Asia, Aramsa aims to further augment Singapore’s position as a premier lifestyle spa destination in the region.

From the moment you enter and all throughout the spa, a sense of warmth and serenity permeates. A cobblestone path leads you to the therapy rooms and along the way you will be greeted by meticulously manicured gardens- the bromeliad garden, the fern garden and the herbs garden- each captivating your senses in preparation for the treatment to come. The spa features more than 20,000 plants from over 200 species- a testimony of its objective to tap on nature’s therapeutic powers to heal. Many of its treatments and remedies are infused with botanical extracts from the earth and sea.



The Green Lounge is Aramsa’s relaxation area. Housed in floor-to-ceiling glass panel structure, it is akin to a greenhouse, only replaced by human beings instead of plants, waiting to be nurtured in ideal conditions. With endless servings of tea, low-fat cookies and things to read, one can spend a good half an hour lazing around before proceeding to be further cared for.

And you don’t have to ask for a “room with a view” at Aramsa because all 14 treatment rooms whether double, premium or standard suites, have a fantastic view of gardens bursting with natural beauty - water lilies, ferns and canopied trees. Coupled with the enchanting view, the outdoor sessions also expose you to the crisp fresh air, warmth of the sun and chirping of birds.
