Life in Singapore can be so hectic that a 60-minute massage is an ideal way to just unplug from it all, and give yourself time to rest and reflect.
When everything lines up right — the ambience is ideal, the treatment suits your budget and your therapist is hitting all the right spots — a massage is the very definition of an affordable luxury.
