If you’ve never taken a peek at the exclusive facilities at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental spa, be sure to book yourself and three friends in for a spa party there. Their current promotion is the “ladies pampering paradise,” which, for $1,480 per person weekdays, or $1,700 on weekends, you’ll be treated to a glass of bubbly and a selection of canapés, plus a chance to relax in the private amethyst steam shower and rose-petal vitality bath. Each guest gets a choice of a 60-minute facial or massage, plus a file and polish for hands and feet.

For a year’s worth of promotions, try Spa Beaute Par Zai. One of the oldest spas in town, it’s offering a range of discounts and special offers for each month of the year, all of which can be found on the website. For instance, book a Hollywood facial and you’ll be treated to a free Oxy Essential treatment worth $250. For February they’re offering 50 percent off Brazilian and Hollywood waxes, while express manicures and pedicures cost just $100 and $120 respectively.

If your winter skin is looking sad and saggy, head on down to Elemis Day Spa or Paua Spa for a double-whammy facial session. On weekdays from now until Jan 31, they’re offering a pro-collagen quartz lift facial, plus a TriPollar skin tightening facial—both results-driven treatments that smooth and firm the skin—for just $1,680. Pretty good when you consider that the original value of the two treatments is a wallet-shrinking $4,080. What’s more: you don’t have to take them both at the same time; leave one for a touch-up a week or so later.
