Marina Bay Sands has launched Singapore’s first Banyan Tree Spa. Located on the 55th level of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, the 1,213-square metre ‘Banyan Tree Spa Marina Bay Sands’ features 15 treatment rooms with views over the city.
“As the leading business, leisure and entertainment destination in Asia, Marina Bay Sands is committed to present no less than the best of Singapore to our guests. We are proud to be the first in Singapore to house the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa in our luxurious space as we welcome the brand back home,” said Marina Bay Sands’ Interim CEO, George Tanasijevich. “We have no doubt that Banyan Tree’s spa expertise and outstanding service will further strengthen the appeal of Marina Bay Sands as an iconic destination that bears return visits.”
“This is distinctively Singaporean in effort and spirit. It combines Marina Bay Sands’ commitment to honour local companies, with the deep Asian heritage of Banyan Tree. We aim to make Singapore proud by opening the city’s first-ever Banyan Tree Spa at the height of nearly 200 metres in the sky, and welcome Singaporeans to visit this spectacular Spa,” added Tanasijevich.
“After spending the last 17 years establishing 64 spas in 26 countries, Banyan Tree is finally returning to its roots in Singapore. We are bringing the best of the Banyan Tree Spa experience to our home ground, and proud to have the stunning location of Marina Bay Sands to plant our first flag. Banyan Tree has always strived to create a sense of place for our guests, and Singapore’s national flower Orchid is a unique element in the signature treatment of this spa, as a tribute to our Singapore heritage,” said Banyan Tree Holdings’ Executive Chairman, Ho Kwon Ping. “This opening is a key milestone in the history of Banyan Tree. We are confident that our presence will elevate the standards of spa services in Singapore to another level, and exceed our clients’ expectations.”
Designed by Banyan Tree’s design arm, Architrave, the spa is based on the concept of the ‘Tree of Life’, with black and earth tones and textured materials intended to create a natural rainforest setting. The Spa Lobby features a starry sky backdrop and Tree of Life artwork on the wall, along with the centerpiece – a large Arbol de la Vida Tree of Life sculpture from Mexico.
Other artisitic features include leaf-patterned hand-carved timber panels from Indonesia and abaca woven fiber panels from The Philippines on the walls and doors, as well as natural stone and solid bamboo in the floors and wall panels. The spa walkway is lined with creepers and vines.
