Luxury wellness goes high-tech

“WELLNESS” in luxury hotels used to mean a good gym and a selection of Thai and Swedish massages. Now, some of the most competitive luxury properties in Singapore and beyond are chasing a more exacting clientele: high-performance travellers who want to optimise their health through science-backed technologies, even while they’re on a business trip.

In this week’s BT Lifestyle, find out more about these data-obsessed and results-driven “biohackers”, and their demand for high-tech wellness treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen chambers, infrared technology, contrast therapy, ice baths and sleep technology. Luxury hotels are not sitting still either, as they gear up to offer advanced health technology to attract these emerging Bryan Johnson types.

Meanwhile, in Design, working from home takes on new meaning when you’re the owner of an office furniture manufacturing business who turns a semi-detached house off Upper Thomson Road into an enviable space for the family to both work and play.

In Dining, get ready for a sugar overload. We head to the new Pierre Herme store in Sentosa to check out its new full-service restaurant. For all this and more, don’t miss this week’s edition of BT Lifestyle.
