Onsen spas in Singapore
If you’ve ever stayed at a ryokan in Japan or just popped by an onsen spa for a couple of hours, you’ll know that it’s one of the most enjoyable travel experiences one can have. Good news for those who miss Japan’s hot springs: we also have onsen spas in Singapore– with both the nude and non-nude sort.
Do you wear clothes in an onsen?
Most onsens require you to be fully unclothed, but some onsens in Singapore allow you to wear approved swimwear, so check with the staff before entering.
Can you go to an onsen as a couple?
Yes, there are onsens in Singapore that cater to couples. Private rooms allow for groups of up to 5 people. Here’s a breakdown of the onsens available in Singapore:

– Where are the best onsen spas in Singapore? –
While we don’t have many natural hot spring sources, the water at these places come with minerals that have numerous health benefits. From 24-hour businesses to private onsen spas in Singapore, we’ve compiled the best options you can go to for a good soak.
1. g.spa
24-hour onsen spa in Singapore with late-night promos

Replace your drinking sessions at late-night bars with a pamper night at g.spa. The place is open 24 hours a day, so you can go for a dip at 2 a.m. You’ll have access to all their spa amenities with a one-time payment of $80.
Hot and cold pools are conveniently split by gender, and loungewear and disposable swimwear will be provided. The onsens also sport opulent elements, including the marble-inspired ceilings and stone pillars. Feel free to add on a foot bath (from $30/10 mins) or scalp and neck massage (from $65/30 mins) to complete your experience here.
This is also a good option for a private onsen date in Singapore, because their couples promo gives you and your partner 50% off spa packages that include a jacuzzi experience. It’s a first-timer exclusive promo too, so if you’ve been eyeing g.spa, let this be a sign for you to book a slot.
g.spa review: “This is a great little 24-hour spa. Clean and comfortable. The 90-minute massage was excellent.”

2. Joya Onsen Cafe
$44 for a 1-day pass
You’ll have heard of the Westside’s Joya Onsen Cafe, where you can indulge in a day of pampering without having to glance at the clock. Open from 10.30am-10.30pm, this steamy haven offers full-day passes from just $44.
Like most other Japanese-inspired onsen spas in Singapore, Joya has gender-separated baths. Even so, good news for all those who aren’t quite ready to rock their birthday suits in front of everyone just yet, you can request for disposable underwear for extra coverage here as well.
They also have private onsens priced from $74/pax if you want even more privacy.
Soak in a large 38°C-40°C onsen pool and try out a pore-tightening cold bath before dining at the in-house cafe and calling it a day. The waters are also often infused with detoxifying ingredients such as green tea and oolong tea for health benefits. Doesn’t hurt that the water smells great too!
Joya Onsen Cafe review: “Booked the private onsen room 1 for my partner and I to unwind and recharge. It was clean, spacious and well-maintained. Would recommend! We had dinner at the Joya Cafe after, which had a cosy and relaxing atmosphere.”

3. Shiruki Studio
Best onsen spa for foot baths

Hydrotherapy spas are Shiruki Studio’s speciality, with customised ultrasonic hydrotherapy treatments for those of us looking to soothe our tense and aching bodies. While their baths are inspired by Japanese onsens with air bubbles and toasty temperatures, the essential oils and complimentary blood pressure tests add a more remedial spin to it.

They’re also one of the best onsen spas in Singapore for foot baths ($30) to test the waters with if it’s your first time visiting an onsen. Otherwise, you can also opt for a full-body soak ($60) for a more immersive experience.
With immunity-boosting and healing properties, these are perfect for everyone from the elderly to sportsmen. Visitors get a personal booth or room as well, with an individual bathtub or foot soaking tub for maximum privacy.
Shiruki Studio review: “Highly recommend for a fuss-free, private use of the sauna and cold plunge room. Clean towels are provided, and there are showers available. Perfect for recovery post-exercise or to reap the benefits of contrast therapy.”

4. Elements Wellness at Centrepoint
From $168 for 115 mins

For full-out indulgence, visit Elements Wellness’ Centrepoint outlet for their Signature Koyamaki Onsen Ritual ($168). This will include the following for all-around pampering:
- Ocha body massage (60 mins)
- Back Scrub (15 mins)
- Koyamaki Onsen Therapy in Private Suite with Steambath (40 mins)
Koyamaki is the wood of the sacred Japanese Umbrella Pine, and that’s what the tubs here are made of. This prized wood is said to release a lime fragrance when in contact with water, and has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
While the water here isn’t from Mount Fuji, it’s got negative ions that help the body detox, as well as soothe rheumatic and arthritic pains. Couple rooms are available upon request, so do let the staff know in advance if you’re heading down with a special someone.
Elements Wellness review: “Efficient, relaxing and kind services provided. The private onsen was so relaxing and clean as well- the temperature was just right.”

5. Ikeda Spa
Best Hinoki Onsen Spa in Singapore

Ikeda Spa is home to Singapore’s first hinoki onsen spa, that is, an onsen made with a precious cypress wood from Japan which was once reserved only for royalty. The wood emanates a calming scent, and has antibacterial properties as well as mineral oils, which get released into the steamy waters onto your skin. These are said to be able to help combat respiratory problems.
If you’d rather not be in the same pot of “human soup” as others, you’ll be glad to know that they have single baths for more privacy.
Ikeda spa review: “Amazing spa. I did an Onsen bath and a face treatment. The bath was relaxing and had an extremely genuine feeling of being in a Japanese hot spring.”

6. Yunomori Onsen & Spa
$49.05 per entry

There’s no better way to bond with your mates than for all of you to jump into a pool together, fully butt-naked. But you don’t have to illegally skinny dip in a reservoir when you can do that at Yunomori Onsen & Spa, which brings the public hot spring experience to Singapore. Yup, the gender-separated pools here are 100% communal, so mentally prepare yourself, and let your inhibitions free!
A 1-day pass to their onsen costs $49.05/pax, which gives you access to their baths and their lounge, a set of towels and a yukata. There are various hot pools here, including powerful jet baths and a silk bath with tiny bubbles for deep cleansing. A steam room and sauna are also available. For contrast in temperature, take a dip in the cold bath for pore tightening. With so many facilities, it would be hard not to spend your entire day here!
When you’re all done, don your yukata and head to Yunomori Cafe* for some hearty Japanese nosh like soba, ramen, and bento. Or cool down with a bowl of Yuzu Sorbet ($5.45). Whatever the case, the experience here will make you forget you’re still in Singapore.
Yunomori Onsen & Spa review: “The onsen area had 1 cold pool, 4 warm pools, and 1 sauna. It was also smaller than expected. Nonetheless, it served the purpose of soothing aching muscles.”

Their Japanese Jacuzzi package ($139) includes a 30-minute soak in a soothing Jacuzzi bathtub, followed by a 60-minute full-body massage that’ll leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Otherwise, if you’d like to up the pamper factor, splurge a little more on their Japanese Magic Bubble Massage package ($179) that has everything the Japanese Jacuzzi has with an additional complimentary body scrub. The bath will also be a bubble bath that’ll leave your skin feeling soft and clean.
The spa also has couples-only bath options that promise a romantic getaway for lovebirds looking to relax.
Ichiban The Spa review: “Very good service and luxurious facilities. Their massages are good, and the jacuzzi pool is amazing! It’s worth the price.”

Japanese-style onsen spas in Singapore
It is never a bad time to treat yourself, so let these spas and their bubbling warm onsens tide you over…until you manage to snag yourself some tickets to Japan, that is. While you’re at it, why not top up a little for a massage too? As the saying goes, go big or go home, and when it comes to spoiling ourselves, we like going all out.
Who should avoid going to an onsen?
Pregnant women should avoid going to an onsen, as well as those who are on their periods, as it’s not sanitary. Additionally, those who have open wounds, chronic bronchitis, and difficulty in breathing should not go to an onsen.
What is proper onsen etiquette?
Do a quick rinse before entering the pools, and those with long hair should tie up their hair as well. Avoid splashing vigorously in the pools, and do not fully immerse your face or head under water.
