We heard of a fair number of strange beauty treatments, but having tiny fish slowly nibble at our feet would probably top our charts as the most bizarre. Known as Garra Rufa, these tiny fish eat away the dead skin of our feet, leaving them smoother when newer skin is exposed.
For those with calloused feet in need of some renewal, here are 5 fish spas in Singapore for a more unconventional foot spa.

When we think “spa”, we think of calming, relaxing spaces – KoHong Fish Spa nails that ambience with the right lighting, Japanese styled foot baths and even a chandelier to add a touch of luxe. After the fish spa, you can opt for a foot massage too!

Fun At Fish also offers corporate event packages for prawning, so maybe instead of bonding over the usual activities like laser tag or karaoke, this could be one activity to try for your office team bonding sessions.
