Aramsa ~ The Garden Spa

We are regular clients of Aramsa Garden Spa and we're pretty happy with the place.

Location: Sited in a quiet corner of Bishan Park 2, the spa is surrounded by dense foliage, which gives it a secluded oasis feeling. An attached cafe serves healthy food, but McDonalds is also a five-minute walk across the scenic bridge.

Parking: Coupon parking in front of the spa. Remember to give allowance for extended visits!

Reception: Pleasant girls who are very helpful and courteous. Sadly, it can sometimes be difficult to book a therapist of your choice.

Locker rooms: Tall lockers are provided with combination locks. However, the space inside the lockers is limited so avoid bringing large bags. A robe, towel, disposable brief, shower cap, comb and slippers are provided.

Steam room/sauna: The attached (wet/dry) facilities are small and seldom used.

Shower: Cute, rustic shower stalls made of curved metal pieces, which brings back memories of village showers. Rain shower is very comfortable, good quality body wash and shampoo are provided.

Massage: Skip their signature back rub and go for the Inner Respite, which is a better treatment. Therapists are friendly and accommodating, just tell them where you need different pressures. Treatment rooms are spacious and inviting. They may not always tell you, but you have a choice of scented oils to select from.

Lounge: Before or after your treatment, this is where you are picked up and dropped off after your treatment. Hot pandan ginger tea is served, or lemon-tinged water, together with two choices of biscuits. Nice place to unwind after a long day.

Overall a nice place to hangout at, pre/post massage treatment (remember your car park time!)
