Banyan Tree comes home to Singapore

Singapore brand Banyan Tree is set to unveil its very first spa on its home turf at the brand new Marina Bay Sands resort.

Marina Bay Sands president and CEO Thomas Arasi said: “Marina Bay Sands will welcome its first guests soon, and we’re committed to showcasing the best of Singapore – be it brands or people. There’s no better way to do this than to bring home one of Singapore’s most established global brands – Banyan Tree."

Banyan Tree will design and operate the 20,000 square feet Spa and Health Club located on the 55th floor of the  Marina Bay Sands Hotel, which offers panoramic views of the city. The Spa will consist of 15 treatment rooms with nature-inspired themes. In addition, the Health Club will feature a gym and cardio corner, Pilates and yoga, as well as a juice spa.

Banyan Tree executive chairman Ho KwonPing said:  “The spectacular location we have found to plant our first flag in Singapore will no doubt reinforce our positioning as a premier spa operator and I am confident we will continue to exceed our customers’ expectations.”

All Banyan Tree spa therapists undergo a certified proprietary training program at the Banyan Tree Spa academies in Phuket and Bangkok, Thailand and Lijiang, China to ensure a consistently high level of service and quality. A pioneer of the tropical garden spa concept, Banyan Tree Spa operates over 60 spas spanning more than 20 countries around the world today, and has close to 50 more spas scheduled to open by 2013.

The Health Club at Marina Bay Sands will open in mid-2010, followed by the Spa.
