Saunas, ice baths, foot rubs and long runs between the panels.
A week of panels and parties takes it out of you. Sweat in a sauna, sit in an ice bath, get your feet seen to, swim laps or run the bay. Hours were checked on each operator's own page on 5 Oct 2026; book evening slots ahead.

A membership recovery club that takes walk-ins: a hot European-style sauna, cold plunges at 4°C and 8°C and a lounge of recovery kit.

Hours unknown, check before you go
A small shophouse bathhouse built around communal bathing: a sauna with guided aufguss sessions and a warm mineral bath under a skylight.

Telok Ayer · MRT Telok Ayer (DT18)
Hours unknown, check before you go
A shophouse recovery studio with two cold plunges at different temperatures, a hot mineral soak, a sauna and compression boots.

Daily 05:00–02:00
Two quiet hectares of bamboo, bonsai-style pines, red and blue stones and a little stream, a short walk from the conference.

Kallang · Free · MRT Kallang (EW10)
Open 24 hours
Smooth tracks along the Kallang River, past the iron frame of an 1862 gasholder. Otters and egrets are regulars here.
Go at dawn for cooler air and the best odds of otters. Kallang and Lavender MRT are both close. Bring your own water.
Marina Bay · Free · MRT Raffles Place (EW14/NS26)
Hours unknown, check before you go
The usual start for a run around the bay: Merlion, Esplanade, Helix Bridge, Marina Bay Sands and back, roughly 3.5 km of flat promenade.
Run before 07:30 or after dark to dodge the heat and the crowds. Two laps make a decent 7 km before the first panel.
East Coast · Free · MRT Marine Parade (TE26)
Hours unknown, check before you go
A long, flat park along the sea with separate tracks for runners and cyclists. The breeze helps; the shade is patchy.
Take a taxi to Marine Cove and run east or west as far as you like. Go early: by 09:00 the sun is fierce.
Civic District · Free · MRT Fort Canning (DT20)
Open 24 hours
A green hill in the middle of town with old trees, steps for hill repeats and shady corners for a phone-free half hour.
The park never closes. Use the steps for hill repeats, then cool down on a bench under the big trees.
