Slumber in Style: 6 Sleep-Focused Escapes for Year-Round Wellness

World Sleep Day falls on 14 March 2025 and it reminds us all to prioritise that essential yet often neglected aspect of our wellbeing—quality rest. If you’re feeling particularly tired these days, you’re not alone—Singaporeans are the most sleep-deprived people in Asia, according to a 2024 study by UK-based YouGov. With most locals getting far less than the recommended eight hours of rest, what better way to honour this timely reminder than with a rejuvenating staycation at one of these exceptional hotels in Singapore and Thailand? These hotels have crafted unique sleep-focused experiences designed to help you reset, recharge and rediscover the joy of perfect slumber—and the best part is, these restorative offerings are available year-round.

The Art of Sleep at The Westin Singapore

The Westin, home of the aptly named Heavenly Bed, has perfected the art of consistently giving guests a good night’s sleep, no matter where they are in the world. At The Westin Singapore, guests can test the next generation of the Heavenly Bed, which features a plush-top mattress with temperature-regulating memory foam, hypoallergenic linens and a new cooling duvet.

To stay in good physical shape and maintain a balanced mental state—crucial conditions for good sleep—there are free morning yoga classes, Reformer Pilates sessions and a state-of-the-art gym, plus the handy WestinWORKOUT® gear lending kit programme. Guests in residence on 14 March will also find a Sleep Well Aromatherapy Balm infused with lavender and chamomile on their pillow as a turndown amenity.

The elegant spa at JW Marriott Singapore is known for its goal-oriented approach to treatments, and the sleep-focused ones are no exception. Power naps tend to happen spontaneously during the Sleep Deeply Massage (SGD$160), which promotes a deep state of relaxation with gentle strokes and skin-loving body oil by Aromatherapy Associates that blends vetiver, sandalwood and chamomile.

To stay in this blissful state for as long as possible, unwind with a post-massage session in the ‘zero-gravity’ inversion therapy chair or a vitality pool equipped with Starpool systems that incorporate light and aromatherapy for a good night’s sleep.


Wellness Residency at The Singapore EDITION

For those who enjoy a perfect mix of action and rest, The Singapore EDITION offers an ideal balance. At this stylish property, fitness guru Beatrice Ding Koh is the driving force behind the hotel’s new collection of wellness residency offerings featuring a mix of private and semi-private classes (from SGD$67). The high-intensity sessions make full use of EDITION’s top-of-the-range exercise equipment.

From Boxing & Conditioning and Sculpt & Lean to Tread & Shred, the classes are the perfect natural sleeping aid—you are guaranteed to drift off the moment your head touches the pillow after exerting yourself in the boxing ring, at the barre or on the treadmill.


Heads on Pillows at Sheraton Towers Singapore

For those looking for a well-deserved break without getting on a flight, Sheraton Towers Singapore offers the perfect local escape. In support of this year’s World Sleep Day, the hotel is treating guests staying in club rooms and above to a wellness kit that includes a heated eye mask, pulse roller and other “sleepy” treats. The pillow menu comes standard and includes options such as supportive foam pillow, plush feather pillow, temperature-regulating bamboo charcoal pillow and buckwheat pillow.


Better Sleep, Better Life at Layan Life by Anantara

Layan Life, the new 1,767-sqm wellness centre at Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, promises inner and outer transformation that not only leads to better sleep but a healthier, more fulfilled life at any age. Multi-day retreats (THB 105,200 for the signature 5-night ‘Shape for Life’ programme) cover everything from nutrition to mindfulness, with non-invasive doctor-led assessments laying the foundation of bespoke programmes.

Meals and accommodation are included in the price, leaving you to focus on movement, controlled stress and recovery surrounded by sparkling lagoons and a lush jungle.


Slumber Sanctuary at The Standard, Hua Hin

Sometimes you just want to be near the seaside, and The Standard, Hua Hin delivers that perfect coastal escape. Known for its high-energy parties, this beachfront property also excels in orchestrating a good night’s sleep. Before retreating to their thickly curtained rooms, guests can wind down with a beach walk or a garden meditation session. Cosily tucked in with a fluffy duvet, guests can choose to drift off to the soothing sounds of nature or calming music from a curated playlist.

When sleep won’t be coaxed so easily, the spa offers a variety of soothing therapies, while the ‘Sound Healing Good Vibrations’ session (THB 2,500) calms the nervous system, reduces cortisol levels, clears mental clutter and improves mood.
