Singapore(August 25, 2011) – Unveiling an oasis in the sky, Marina Bay Sands has launched Singapore’s first Banyan Tree Spa. This marks Banyan Tree’s debut in its home country after continued success around the globe. Nestled in the heart of Singapore, Banyan Tree Spa Marina Bay Sands represents Singapore’s renowned position as a flourishing garden city and embraces Banyan Tree Spa’s philosophy of a garden spa setting with a contemporary twist. Set to be the tallest Banyan Tree Spa on the 55 th level of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, Banyan Tree Spa Marina Bay Sands opens up a world of tranquility and calm in the heart of town.

“After spending the last 17 years establishing 64 spas in 26 countries, Banyan Tree is finally returning to its roots in Singapore.

Designed by Banyan Tree’s design arm Architrave, this is the first Banyan Tree Spa to be themed around the timeless concept of the Tree of Life.
