It’s mini golf with a twist at Holey Moley where you get to, umm, putt your balls through shark-infested waters and even into the Nine Iron Throne itself.

However, do take note that minors under 18 are not legally allowed into the venue after 8pm. Due to liquor license requirements, anyone younger than 18 years of age must be supervised by a parent or guardian.

G.Spa

Address: 102 Guillemard Road #02-02, Singapore 399719
E-mail: enquiries@gspa.com.sg
Phone: 6280 8988
Price: From $68
Opening hours: 24/7

Before you brush this luxurious spa off due to its slightly hefty price points, just remember that this includes unlimited usage of their facilities, including steam and sauna rooms, jacuzzi, hot and cold pools and an all-day buffet. With 24-hour access, think of it as you’re paying $68 for a 2D1N staycay. Now, is it worth it?

An Qi Spa

Address: 275 Beach Road, #01-02, Singapore 199549
Phone: 6291 0882
Opening hours: 24/7

Branch: Anqi Spa @ Middle Road
Address: 135 Middle Road Bylands Building, #1-10/11, Singapore 188975
Phone: 6292 3433
Opening hours: 24/7

Branch: Anqi Spa @ People’s Park Center

Night owls looking for a place to chill after a day of activities can choose to head over to An Qi Spa, a Chinese massage parlour with three outlets in Singapore.

Right now, they’re offering some great deals, ranging from only $10 for off for body massages and $5 off for foot massages, redeemable at their Beach Road and Middle Road branches. 

Emperor Spa

Address: 6 Handy Rd, The Luxe, #01-01, Singapore 229234 and 90 Eu Tong Sen St, Singapore 059811
Phone: 6363 1555
Price: From $39
Opening hours: 10am to 4am daily

As we all know, massages in Singapore can cost quite a bomb (ah, we miss the cheap massages in Bangkok) at an average of $50 an hour.

This means that Emperor Spa’s $39 one-hour foot massage is considered a steal, but only if you can make it during their happy hour promotion on weekdays from 10am to 6pm.

Spa Nes

Address: Annex@Furama Riverfront Hotel, 407 Havelock Road Level 2, Singapore 169634
E-mail: info@spanes.sg
Phone: 8778 6307
Price: From $58
Opening hours: 11am to 6am daily

Just like G.spa, Spa Nes also offers a full day spa package with unlimited usage of their pools, jacuzzis, steam and sauna rooms along with an all-day buffet but at a slightly cheaper price point of $58.

The only difference between Spa Nes and G.spa would probably be their opening hours, so pick whatever you think is the best bang for your buck.
