Booking tips and practical notes
- Book spa treatments in advance (especially weekend slots) — premium spas often fill early. Most top spas allow online reservations or require direct contact. (gotraveldaily.com)
- Look for “wellness” / “detox” / “couples” packages — these bundle multiple treatments, meals and often late checkout to make the most of a weekend. (solutions.mydayaway.com)
- Transport: Sentosa hotels are a short taxi drive from the city (20–30 minutes typical, depending on traffic); Marina Bay hotels are centrally located for sightseeing. (Check local travel times for your dates.)
- Currency and tipping: Singapore uses SGD; service charges are common at luxury hotels, but extra tipping is discretionary.
- Timing: If you plan a weekend break, arriving Friday evening and departing Sunday late afternoon or Monday morning (if you can) gives the most time for long spa journeys.
If you’d like, I can:
- Compare 3‑4 specific packages (dates you’d travel) and find current rates/availability; or
- Build a fully timed itinerary (including transfers, dining reservations and activities) for one chosen property.
