What does it mean to live well? This was the question at the heart of Vogue Wellness Day.
Hosted at METT Singapore, Vogue Singapore’s inaugural wellness event brought together a community of folks drawn to this very concept of a life well lived—drawing in more than 600 attendees and over 30 speakers from various corners of Asia.
The day saw leading experts, athletes, founders and practitioners for a day dedicated to exploring wellbeing in all its forms. Tucked away amidst the greenery of Fort Canning, the destination provided a fitting backdrop. Home to Madison House‘s social and sporting community, they hosted padel sessions, a morning run club and even a floating sound bath. Meanwhile, The Longevity Suite offered a look at the future of recovery through oxygen and cryotherapy treatments.
Across the day, seven different conversations unfolded; some arriving from around the region to share their insights. With Nadya Hutagalung and Chee Hee Seng among those who were flying in for the occasion—joining conversations that ranged from nutrition to athletic performance, traditional Asian remedies to alternative approaches to fertility. Elsewhere, a panel on burnout and balance featuring Crystal Lim-Lange encouraged guests to reconsider their relationship with stillness, self-awareness and the boundaries in the workplace.
The programme extended well beyond the stage. With a mix of 35 movement classes to choose from, guests participated in padel sessions, sculpt yoga classes, reformer Pilates courtesy of Absolute Pilates and The Reformer Society—and moved with both purpose and style, as Wiskii Active dressed guests in their summer-ready sets for the occasion.
The idea of intentional wellbeing also extended to financial health through the event’s exclusive financial partner, Syfe—a reminder that wellness is often shaped as much by peace of mind as physical practice. This intention extended to those seeking more personalised guidance: GenPrime offered one-on-one consultations for guests interested in learning about their reproductive health and options such as IVF and egg freezing, while Company of Wellness introduced guests to its Signature Wonder Treatment for the hair, scalp and body.
Innovation surfaced in smaller details too. Guests sampled The Purest Co’s collagen peptide matcha, while the sweetest organic kiwis journeyed from New Zealand to Singapore for the inaugural event, courtesy of Zespri. As our exclusive fragrance partner, Chloe infused the day with its signature, summer-ready fragrances; while Vetraska ensured even our furry, four-legged friends had a place within the festivities.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the crowd let loose with a social Latin salsa dance to close out the immersive day of activities. An intimate dinner followed the event, celebrating the Vogue Singapore team and event participants who helped bring it all together—and proof that sometimes, the best nourishment for the soul is simply community.
Here, a brief snapshot of how the first edition of Vogue Wellness Day went down.

Zespri kiwis to freshen up the morning
If there’s one kiwi in the world you had to try, it might just be Zespri’s. Lucky for us, they’ve journeyed all the way from Mount Maunganui, New Zealand to Singapore—the hidden gem in Copper Garden’s exquisite floral arrangements at Vogue Wellness Day.

Having a sip of marine collagen peptide matcha
If there’s one thing Singapore loves, it’s a matcha pop-up. The Vogue Singapore team is no exception (did someone say sweet treat?) so it was a no-brainer to have The Purest Co. alongside us at Vogue Wellness Day. Alongside their signature marine collagen peptide matcha, the innovative matcha brand served up a wellness buffet with an assortment of product supplements and all-day longevity blend service.

Bathing in sun and sound
At the Madison House pool in METT Singapore, a morning moment of calm was the way to start the day for some: a float on the water to soothing ambient sounds.

The sounds of healing
Accompanied by her singing bowls, Madison House sound therapist Mayuko Vermeulen guided everyone through slow breath work to help ground the soul.

Courtside warm-ups
No Wellness Day is complete without a proper sweat sesh—guests took to the outdoor courts for a few rounds of padel under the sun. Beginners enlisted the help of the Madison House coaches, while the experienced folks battled it out in the free play sessions.

Zespri kiwis are the new Easter egg
Zespri kiwifruits are a standout for their unusually sweet flavour profile and smooth coat. With fresh fruit platters and unique infusions of the beloved fruit into different menu items, the kiwis kept us energised through the day.

Longevity boost
If matcha wasn’t your cup of tea, then there were longevity blends in a refreshing lemon grape flavour too—packed with creatine and their super adaptogen complex. The fastest hands also got to take home bestsellers like Collagen Glow Berries and Pomegranate Hair Vitality.

Spritz away with Chloé
Here to put minds and souls at ease was Chloé Fragrances Atelier des Fleurs range. Infusing a spot of floral beauty on Vogue Wellness Day, guests flocked to the booths, drawn to the irresistible array of scents–freshening up on the go in between movement classes and panels too.
Bottling up the spirit of a Mediterranean getaway, notes of lavender, green mandarin, fig and pine trees wafted through the air to match the sun-drenched ambience perfectly. Channelling the green surroundings best was Sous les Pins—from now till the end of June, enjoy a complimentary two-piece fragrance set at the Vivo City boutique when you sign up here.
