Located on the eighth floor of the newly renovated Island Shangri-La, this luxurious haven promises an unparalleled holistic wellness experience infused with Shangri-La’s renowned Asian hospitality.

We have created a space that fosters holistic wellness, allowing guests to discover their own personal Shangri-La.”
