For all office workers out there: we get it. Our days are spent hunched over a computer, eyes glazed and fingers flying furiously away at the keyboard. But there’s nothing a good massage won’t cure. Sadly, with the new Massage Establishments Act, there are fewer and fewer massage parlours that stay open after your long OT hours.
To knead out the tense knots in your shoulders, we’ve sought out 10 massage parlours that still stay open late at night.

Grand Spa is divided into eleven cosy rooms – providing comfort and privacy as you get your much-needed dose of massage therapy. And with its elegant decor of glass chandeliers and Victorian-style furnishings, there’s not a chance that this parlour doubles up as one of those sleazy parlours.

Once you’re guided into a private room, you’ll be asked to put on a plush white bathrobe to prep for your chosen treatment. Whether it’s an Ancient Shiatsu Massage, Chinese Meridian Therapy or Swedish Therapy, you know there’ll be good hands pummelling you since all masseuses here are required to have at least five years of experience prior. All massages are $63/hour.

You won’t miss the entrance to Emperor Spa – it’s guarded by two massive lion sculptures with opulent signs in both English and Chinese. Once you’re in, you’ll notice that the space’s decked out in a rather old-fashioned Chinese style, with shiny rosewood benches and clay vases.

Even if your office is not in the Chinatown town area, you’ll want to travel down because their massages are surprisingly affordable. A Body Massage will set you back $48/hour, and a Foot Massage, $33/hour.

There’s no shortage of lavish spas in Singapore, but Ancient Dynasty Spa separates themselves by offering an array of soothing oil massages. Your choices range from an Ancient Healing Oil Massage, with firm fingers pushing on acupuncture points, to a Deep Tissue Oil Massage, which loosens muscles to release toxins.
Add on aroma oils for $5, so your entire body will feel slippery smooth.

You know you deserve this, especially after all the hours spent on an uncomfortable office chair. All body massages are priced at an affordable $48/hour.

This is the life, you’ll think to yourself as you lounge with arms outstretched in g.spa’s mosaic-tiled jacuzzi. Throw away any expectations of a regular massage parlour, this place is decked out with hot and cold pools, steam rooms, and saunas.
Take a relaxing soak in one of their hot or cold pools before trying their Gateway to Vitality massage ($155/hour) – treat it as a satisfying reward for all those dreary hours you’ve been putting in at work. It’s a deep tissue body treatment that’ll hit all the right spots, thanks to the hard work of the masseuse.
Smell like mint and lavender after the Gateway to Vitality Body Treatment.

To thoroughly pamper yourself, there’s a wide range of other treatments to consider, such as their Skin Regimen Longevity Facial ($215) or Manicure ($68 without Spa Admission).
There’s no need to bring anything with you – g.spa provides everything, from robes to slippers. After your massage, head to their unisex relaxation area for more peace and quiet, or if you’re feeling peckish, there’s an all-day buffet where you can load up on local dishes like duck rice and curry chicken.

With flashing neon signages, Imperial Apple Spa is seemingly dodgy from the outside. But once you step in, it’s a whole other story – the reception area even looks like a hotel lobby. The entire space is lit by ambient light, but there’s no need to fumble in the dark since you’ll be led directly to a series of comfy armchairs.

Most people flock here for their Foot Massage ($45/hour) since the masseuses know their pressure points well. It’s a bit of a splurge, but your feet need it – they hardly get any circulation when all they do is dangle off an office chair. If your entire body’s aching, their full Body Massage starts at $63/hour.
The best thing is: there’s a series of movies to watch while your muscles are getting stretched out – pick from different movie genres such as action & adventure or a light-hearted comedy.

You’d think that Xi Yuan Foot Spa specialises in foot massages, but they’re equally worthy in tackling your shoulder aches. Chiropractors do come in handy, but massage parlours like this get the job done at a fraction of the cost. This space is dimly-lit in all the right ways – that is, cosy, and not sleazy. It’s often patronised by a mixed crowd, so you can expect your massage chair neighbour to be anyone from a backpacker to an elderly auntie.
Their two branches aren’t particularly glitzy, so don’t go in with sky high expectations. But their prices are indeed affordable – a Body Massage is priced at $44/hour while a Foot Massage is $32/hour.

Natureland’s almost a household name for massages. There are outlets strewn around the whole of Singapore so it’s convenient to get to. Try their 5-in-1 Therapy ($58.85/hour) massage if you’re aching all over: it starts with a 40 minute foot massage before moving on to your head, neck, shoulders, and back.

OD Wellness’ massages do more than just prodding and poking. Try their Rejuvenating Therapy ($75/75min) – it comes with a combination of foot massage and acupressure that’ll send you off thoroughly revived.

Otherwise, try their Hot Stone Therapy – balancing hot stones across your back to relieve tension, or their Gua Sha Therapy – scraping off skin for stimulation. Both are priced at $55/45min.
