It is no big secret that I love spa retreats and pampering sessions. Many a times, I found myself wondering off to an airline website to look for cheap ticket for yet another getaway just to enjoy cheap spa treatment and gourmet adventures. However, recently I have found a place where I can save the air ticket but yet get to enjoy reasonably priced spa retreat. Yes, if you have not heard about it, I am talking about the spa retreat program at One Farrer Hotel & Spa.
Conveniently located just 5 minutes walk (if you walk as slow as me) away from Farrer Park MRT, Spa Retreat at One Farrer Hotel & Spa is situated at the Lifestyle Podium, level 6 of the hotel. It has been around for about 3 years and it features an Olympic-sized swimming pool, Japanese-styled onsens, reflexology water walk, relaxation gardens and comprehensive 24hrs fitness facilities. I am actually quite surprised that not many people know about it. Maybe they do but hush hush about it! So here I am to share the good stuff with you!
First thing first, let’s talk about the facilities! Besides, the usual shower area, changing rooms and toilets, there are suana and steam bath facilities! And no, it is not a common shared area between the males and females. So ladies, you can be assured that you have your own privacy.
Besides the soothing earthy deco, one thing I really like about Spa Retreat at One Farrer Hotel & Spa is that there are both rain shower and normal shower hoses in the showering area to maximise the pleasure of any bathing experience.
Oh yes, Onsen!!! Besides the mineral pool which is heated to 38 degrees, there is a cold pool at -14 degree and a lounger area that you could enjoy warm soak with jacuzzi! Who can resist a good soak, right? From what I understand, if a good onsen soak is done right, you can be sure to have smoother and firmer skin!!!
P.S: There is also a relaxation room where you can enjoy a cup of specially concocted tea while waiting for your treatment to start.
There are 4 new Lifestyle Retreat Programs to choose from (Detox, Slimming, Renewal and Energy) and all the programs begin with a pre-consultation and 1 hr workout session. At Spa Retreat at One Farrer Hotel & Spa, they believe that the body need to reach an optimal level of fatigue in order to properly benefit from the treatments to come. Hence, the purpose of the workout is to slow down the pace of one’s body and prepare the body and mind for the up-coming treatments.
Each Lifestyle Retreat Program also includes a Spa Cuisine Meal that is specially designed by a certified dietician to optimise fibre intake, reduced calories, protein level and richness in antioxidants and Omega 3! The price ranges from $199 (single pax) and there are also Couple (or 2 persons) packages available too. I went with Leong and we got the package at quite a steal!
So do grab a friend to go with you. You can always opt to do the treatment together or separately. At the end of the day, most importantly is to relax ourselves without the need to book a flight out for the perfect ambience to let down our hair.
Besides offering a range of massages, Spa Retreat at One Farrer Hotel & Spa also has a nails galore and a variety of facials and other body treatments.
Overall, I think the spa retreat program at One Farrer Hotel & Spa is perfect for anyone who wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city without taking a flight or a ferry out to our neighboring countries to enjoy a day of pampering session. Together with scented candles and soothing music, the dimly lit spa treatment rooms provide an an oasis of rejuvenation to release the stress and nerves from any modern working adults. Quote “Hannah99” to enjoy a 1 day spa retreat card which comprises a choice of massage or facial and access to all the lifestyle facilities such as onsens, 24hr gym and olympic size swimming pool at a promotional rate of $99!
