St. Gregory Spa at the Pan Pacific Orchard
As I wanted to take advantage of my DISCOVERY Black benefits one weekend, I made a reservation at one of my favourite GHA properties in Singapore - the Pan Pacific Orchard. I have had 100% success rate with double upgrades and 6PM late check-out here (as part of my DISCOVERY Black benefits). The property also offers incredible discounts on weekends so it's not difficult to get it under S$250 Nett all-inclusive which in my book, is an amazing deal! During my latest stay in a Pacific Studio, I was invited to check out the St. Gregory Spa at the Pan Pacific Orchard and having heard so much about their award-winning Traditional Chinese Tui-Na Massage, I decided to give it a go during my stay.
The award-winning (five times!) Traditional Chinese Tui Na Massage combines both massage and acupressure. While it sounds extremely intimidating (at least for me!), it was one of the best massages I have had in Singapore. If you are thinking of a nice spa escape with your loved one, the St. Gregory Spa at the Pan Pacific Orchard has a private couple suite which looks pretty amazing - to be honest, the only thing I've got my eyes set on was that massive tub.
Since I was undergoing the treatment alone, I had the Traditional Chinese Tui Na Massage (60 minutes for S$180++) done in a private suite. This Tui Na (or 'push' and 'pull' in Mandarin) uses a range of techniques like squeezing, pushing, pulling and kneading to stimulate key pressure points in order to improve the flow of virtal energy in the body. The therapist that I have had during my treatment was extremely knowledgeable (and multi-lingual!) so I actually walked away feeling lighter and more knowledgable as well. If you are thinking of giving this a try, be sure to check out the tie-up that UOB has with the Pan Pacific Hotel Group since you may potentially save up to 25 off spa treatments.
