Marking the company's launch into the Singapore market, ESPA at Resorts World Sentosa is set to open in July and will form its flagship Asian operation.
Designed in conjunction with Michael Graves & Associates, the 10,000sq m spa will provide 24 multi-functional treatment rooms; private treatment villas; two couples' suites and two beach villas.
Features include the island state's first Hammam; separate male and female gardens with their own vitality pools, air and water massage jets and icy plunge pools; unisex Onsen-style pools; a gym; Zen studio; nail studio; and the Tangerine Spa Cafe.
Guests are to be offered a selection of treatments, including four Hammam Rituals - Revitalising, Softening, Indulgence and Ultimate - and two Signature Treatments - ESPA Time and Energy Balancing Body Treatment.
ESPA celebrated another first earlier in 2012 with the launch in May of The Ritz-Carlton Spa by ESPA, part of the opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa, the hotel operator's first Japanese resort.
A two-storey building adjacent to the hotel, the spa - which provides a choice of traditional Chinese, Indian, Balinese and European treatments - is situated in the premises of the Kise Country Club overlooking the East China Sea.
Facilities for guests include four treatment rooms; four dry treatment rooms; outdoor cabanas where Shiatsu or Thai massage can be offered; a nail studio; relaxation room; indoor pool; Jacuzzis; dry and stone saunas and a gym.
A VIP wing houses the Ocean and Forest suites, each with its own change and vanity areas and relaxation lounge, a steam shower overlooking the forest and a stone soaking bath overlooking the private outdoor deck.
In April, southwestern Turkey's Datca Peninsula became home to the ESPA at D-Hotel Maris, the peninsula being a nature reserve said to offer natural healing properties dating back many centuries.
Both hotel and spa have been designed to combine the exotic elements of the east with the modernity of the west, with a key feature of the spa being a world-class Hammam offering private individual scrub rooms and relaxation area.
Hammam treatments offered include the Indulgence Hammam Ritual; the Softening Body Ritual; and the Revitalising Body Scrub. Elsewhere are seven spa rooms, a private spa suite and heat experiences which include a vitality pool, contemporary indoor pool, sauna and a steam room.
Signature treatments include the Sea Salt & Oil Scrub with Agean Sea Shell Massage, Purva Karma Four Handed Massage and Active Hydration Facial.
July will also see the addition to ESPA's product portfolio of Smooth & Firm Body Butter.
Ideal for all skin types, it's an intensely hydrating body cream incorporating argan oil and the extracts of both larch and pumpkin seed in a combination designed to lift, tone and soften the skin, leaving it smooth, firm and tactile.
Also new is Nourishing Shower Cream, created to cleanse, condition and lock in moisture.
Fragranced with rose, patchouli and mandarin essential oils, it gently cleanses the skin without drying, whilst sweet almond oil and shea butter offer a smooth, supple finish for even dry, dehydrated and mature skin.
