Most of us probably don’t need an excuse to get a massage, but you might be pleased to know that science is on our side. A study from Emory University in the US showed that participants who received a Swedish massage once or twice weekly over a period of fi ve weeks had lower levels of stress hormones compared to those who didn’t. The effects lasted for several days after each treatment, and appeared to have a cumulative effect. Here’s our edit of the best ones we’ve tried lately – you’re welcome.

BALINESE FULL BODY MASSAGE

What it is Offered at Banyan Tree Spa on the 55th fl oor of Marina Bay Sands, this medium-to-strong pressure massage features slow and fi rm rhythmic strokes to ease tension. All Banyan Tree Spa treatments also include a soothing foot bath and free post-massage snacks and drinks in the lounge.

The best parts Each treatment room has a private en suite toilet and shower area for a truly luxe experience. Every masseuse in Banyan Tree also goes through hundreds of hours of training before they’re allowed to perform treatments, so you can expect to be well taken care of during your session. The soothing massage oils – combined with the therapist’s deft hands – will put you to sleep fast. When you awaken, you’ll fi nd that even the tightest knots have been kneaded out.

Price and duration $297.78 for 60min
