Mummy's Japanese Bath Retreat, $208+ for 90 minutes, at Ikeda Bukit Timah
Her Japanese spa experience begins with a Hinoki Onsen. First of its kind in Singapore, this unique bath tub is made of cypress wood, which releases mineral oils that contain anti-bacterial properties and a soothing scent. These minerals help alleviate aches and anxiety, promote blood circulation and boost detox. Next, a hot stone massage ensues. Using volcanic rocks from Hakone, they are heated to 40 degrees Celsius, releasing infra-red rays and negative ions to kickstart sluggish metabolism and strengthen the immune system.
