We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Auriga Spa at Capella Singapore delivers ultra-indulgent pampering with an eye toward nature. Set in the leafy rain forest, the contemporary space is decorated with modern photography and original artwork is scattered throughout the Five-Star spa. Touches of natural materials that give it a stylish feel without taking away from the welcoming vibe.

In the locker rooms, curved walls form a pattern of semicircles that lead up to the wet treatment area, while elsewhere raw beige granite reaches up to the 12-foot ceilings. Even though it's spacious, Auriga Spa emanantes a cozy ambience, with a sense of intimacy bolstered by bronze hurricane candles.

A celestial theme runs throughout the space, the treatments and design to bring all the parts of the natural spa experience together; after all, Auriga is the name of a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Auriga Spa maintains a back-to-basics spa philosophy.
All of the treatments use 100 percent natural, organic products from the Organic Pharmacy.
In keeping with the Singapore spa’s natural philosophy, many of the services are based around the phases of the moon, such as the New Moon, Waxing Moon, Full Moon and Waning Moon treatments.
If you aren’t feeling the pull of the moon, choose among a few non-lunar treatments, including shiatsu, Thai massage and a jet-lag remedy for weary international travelers.
While you’re being massaged, scrubbed or enveloped in a nourishing wrap, look out at the Zen terrace and enjoy the lush greenery, smooth stones and stalky bamboo that populate the patio.

Things to Know

The easiest way to make an appointment at Auriga Spa, especially if you’re traveling internationally, is to fill out the service request form on the spa’s website.
We recommend scheduling an appointment at the Singapore spa at least a week in advance to guarantee securing the treatment you’d like at the time you want.
If you’re willing to take the gamble, Auriga Spa does offer walk-in appointments based on availability. When you want to book a treatment, ring the concierge, who may be able to work some magic with the schedule to squeeze you in.
If you need to change or cancel your appointment at Auriga Spa — though we can’t imagine a reason you’d want to miss out on bliss like this — the luxury spa requests at least eight hours’ notice.
By filling out a form online, you can share the relaxation of Auriga Spa, with your special someone. The form lets you enter a custom amount, and you don’t have to worry about putting your credit card information online; agents will collect your payment information when they call to confirm your purchase.

The Treatments

Each wrap has specific benefits to accommodate varying skin and body goals. Indulge in an invigorating New Moon wrap, made with eucalyptus and rosemary, or hydrate your body with a nourishing honey and jasmine mask during the Waxing Moon wrap.
The Full Moon wrap aims to help center you with rose mud and rose petals, and the Waning Moon wrap offers a deep-cleansing treatment with rosemary and juniper aromatherapy scents and seaweed-infused mud.
The New Moon exfoliation recharges your body with a mineral-rich eucalyptus and spirulina-infused salt scrub; the Waxing Moon scrub nourishes and conditions your skin using salt, sugar and rose petals infused with ylang ylang oil; the Full Moon exfoliation seeks harmony using rose petals and rose oil-infused salt and sugar; and the Waning Moon scrub incorporates soft silk gloves during the exfoliation to stimulate lymphatic flow.
The Organic Pharmacy Gentleman’s Facial revitalizes men’s skin with 100 percent natural, organic ingredients, while a foot, scalp and arm massage erases stress tension by addressing problem areas.

The Facilities

The treatment rooms look out through glass doors on private outdoor gardens, with lush greenery, stones and bamboo.
The spa is loaded with luxurious amenities such as vitality pools that overlook a beautiful garden and aromatherapy showers.
Capella Singapore’s gym sits just outside Auriga Spa and is available to you as a spa patron. Create your own workout on the fitness center’s cardio and strength-training equipment, or enlist the aid of personal trainers on staff to help motivate you.
Don’t forget to pack a bathing suit for your trip to Singapore if you want to take a dip in the Jacuzzi-style vitality pool in the each locker room.
