The Best Spas Near Summer Palace, by the Record


  1. The urban flagship of a Singapore-born wellness group, this spa on the fourth floor of COMO Orchard sets the template that the brand's other retreats follow. In a city where back-alley massage parlors outnumber coffee shops, it pitches considerably higher: think clean lines, considered treatments, and the quiet efficiency of a place that takes recovery seriously. Named among Vogue's 100 Best Spas in the World.


  2. The spa entrance is tucked into one of the lower levels of Capella Singapore, which means you arrive through tropical rainforest before you've even changed into a robe. Auriga is a full-service luxury spa on Sentosa Island, where the soundtrack outside involves actual monkeys. A Forbes Five Star and a spot on Vogue's 100 Best Spas list suggest the treatments match the setting, which sets a high bar before anything begins.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country: how people there rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, and what they breathe. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
