Singapore's first Banyan Tree Spa has been launched at the Marina Bay Sands hotel.

Located on the 55th floor of the hotel, the 1,213sq m (13,100sq ft) Banyan Tree Spa Marina Bay Sands boasts 15 treatment rooms - including two Royal Double Spa Suites - with panoramic views over the city state; a Beauty Salon; a Tea Lounge for post-treatment relaxation; and the Banyan Tree Gallery retail area.

Designed by Banyan Tree's design arm Architrave, it is also the first Banyan Tree Spa to be holistically themed around the "timeless concept" of the Tree of Life.

Upon entering the spa lobby, guests will see a Tree of Life feature wall art piece while an Arbol de la Vida Tree of Life sculpture from Mexico completes the interior theming.

All treatment room names are inspired by the many variations of orchid and the menu of 35 treatments include the signature Harmony Banyan - an 180-minute session massage performed by two therapists.

The team of therapists were trained by the Banyan Tree Spa Academy in Phuket.
