If you’ve ever fantasised about slipping out of your inbox and into a poolside cabana with a glass of Veuve in hand and no itinerary but your own, allow DayAway to turn that escapist impulse into your new favourite ritual. The luxury wellness platform has just unveiled a redesigned website, new hotel partners, and enough exclusive experiences to make you rethink what "me time" really means.
Now sleeker, faster, and more customisable, the new DayAway site doesn’t just let you browse spa menus and hotel daycations. It lets you curate an entire mood. Think: lymphatic detoxes in 5-star hotel spas, in-room afternoon teas with skyline views, and couples’ retreats so aesthetically on-point they could serve as either soft or hard launches.

The platform now partners with heavyweights like The St. Regis Singapore, COMO Metropolitan Singapore, The Singapore Edition, W Hotel, and Artyzen Singapore. Translation: The spa-and-pool crawl of your dreams is now a click away.
There’s the Couples Retreat at Andaz Singapore, featuring a day-use room, pastries that look like they came out of a Wes Anderson movie, and rooftop pool access that hits different at 5 pm. Or the Rooftop Retreat at COMO Metropolitan Singapore, where a 30-metre cantilevered pool offers glass-bottom views of Orchard Road’s organised chaos and 15 per cent off cocktails at the Sky Bar to round it out.
Want something gentler? At Artyzen Singapore, the Afternoon Sip & Swim includes a high-tea-for-two and access to their rooftop pool. And, for those of us craving a cellular-level reboot, there’s the HydraFacial Platinum Treatment at Raffles Spa. A multi-step ritual featuring lymphatic drainage, extraction, hydration, and LED therapy, it’s the kind of thing that makes you look like you’ve been secretly stress-free for months. Members only and yes, it shows.

DayAway is also levelling up its member perks, introducing new tiers and a gifting section that’s both dangerously convenient and aesthetically pleasing. Need a last-minute birthday gift that says “I care” and “I have taste”? Choose from e-vouchers or a signature DayAway gift bag (the spa equivalent of chic gift wrap). Experiences include a Wellness Retreat at The Capitol Kempinski, a custom scent journey with Maison 21G, and the Holistic Harmony escape at Raffles Singapore, which features yoga, sound healing, and access to hydrothermal pools.
For the non-committal (or non-members), à la carte bookings are now open. Sample a traditional Chinese tea ceremony or a personalised facial at Mandarin Oriental Singapore, just enough of a taste to understand what you’re missing.
So yes, you could spend your weekend (or weekday) running errands and eating leftovers. Or you could be poolside, freshly exfoliated, and completely unreachable.
