The Most Serene Spots in the Neighbourhood

Bamford

Stepping inside Bamford’s St Francis Yard store is like stepping into a mini-Cotswolds retreat. Every detail, from the clean-lined interiors to the scent that lingers in the air, speaks to the British lifestyle brand’s ethos of mindful, nature-connected living. It’s the perfect place to find a moment of calm and pick up thoughtful tools for creating that same feeling at home. One such favourite product? The Fig Leaf Willow Diffuser, which infuses the air with a warm blend of vetiver, fig leaf, basil and patchouli. Come for the quiet atmosphere, leave with a pocket of calm to take home.

Dominion Garden

Just beneath Starstreet Precinct, where Queen’s Road East meets Landale Street, Dominion Garden offers a pocket of green and stillness in the heart of the city. Shaded by trees and dotted with benches, it’s a favourite resting place for locals and passers-by alike. There are panels detailing Wan Chai’s history, but you don’t need to be a history buff to enjoy the peace here. Grab a takeaway banh mi from Le Petit Saigon or a tea from nearby Elephant Grounds and settle in for a moment of people-watching or quiet contemplation. It’s a humble but soothing escape from the busy surrounding streets.

BEYØRG

Nestled inside Pacific Place, BEYØRG is a sanctuary for skin and senses alike. Known for its curated collection of natural and organic beauty and wellness products, this shop is much more than a retail destination — it’s a space of stillness. The A.O.R Repairing and Calming Mask soothes even the most delicate skin, while the Ogaenics Calm-A-Lama magnesium capsules help bring inner balance and relaxation. If you have more time, book in for one of their beloved facials, such as the calming A.O.R Platinum Advanced Lifting & Firming Facial, which uses three distinct massage techniques to stimulate skin cells, release facial tension and restore energy flow — leaving you not only glowing, but grounded.

Pacific Place Rooftop

Between The Continental and Emmer on Level 4 of Pacific Place, a lush, open-air garden space awaits. Lined with shaded benches and thoughtfully landscaped with greenery, it’s the kind of place that invites you to pause, breathe and let your thoughts settle. Whether you bring a takeaway coffee or a pizza from Emmer, or just yourself, the mood here is calm and unhurried — and on a sunny day, it’s hard to find a more tranquil seat in the neighbourhood.
