A LIFE WELL LIVED

This luxury hotel is paving the road to wellness with a blend of spa treatments, fitness activities and healthy dining options.

Like it or not, fitness has become a way of life. Good hotels offer new spa treatments, but great ones introduce initiatives in a way that won’t make you feel like you’re pressured to choose the ‘healthy’ option. JW Marriott Singapore South Beach, for instance, offers a variety of healthier choices throughout its dining establishments. It’s as fresh as it gets at Beach Road Kitchen, where diners can pluck greens straight from the soil at the vertical salad bar. At Akira Back, the chef can replace tuna with king oyster mushrooms on your pizza. And at Madame Fan at The NCO Club, you can order a variety of vegetarian options without compromising on taste or quality. The in-room dining menu also offers an extensive selection for vegetarians, vegans and those on a gluten-free diet.

Healthy living also means exercising. If you’d prefer not to sweat it out with strangers, you’ll be glad to know that the fitness centre is open 24/7, so you can pop in any time of day (or night). Two sizeable lap pools also offer visitors a welcome respite from Singapore‘s humid climes. What comes after the workout? A spa treatment at Spa by JW of course. While the art of total rejuvenation shouldn’t be rushed, those pressed for time can ask for 12- or 25-minute express massages.

Is it possible to enjoy a guilt-free weekend at JW Marriott Singapore South Beach? Quite possibly so. www.marriott.com ≠
