Relaxation in Luxury

Keraton Spa is the latest addition to Keraton at The Plaza Hotel’s fabulous amenities. The expansive 1,600 square-meter contemporary facility is meticulously designed, lulling its guests – with its modern interpretation of the rich Indonesian culture – to escape the hustle and bustle of industrious Jakarta with its luxurious pampering.

Upon entering the Keraton Spa you find yourself immersed in its serene, sedative ambience. a calming, tranquil fragrance fills the air and tickles your senses as you pore over the spa menu.

The concept of the treatments at Keraton Spa is inspired by ancient Javanese traditions. a quick glance over the list of massage treatments on offer and it is easy to see the implicit inspiration from the philosophies of Javanese batik-making.

The Parangkusumo massage is a treatment whose name is derived from a famous batik motif which was designed for royal Javanese youth. The calming routine eases tension and divests you of mental and bodily weariness, restoring vitality and youthful energy.

Enjoy quality bonding time with a loved one with the ‘Sido asih Couple Massage’. Inspired by the philosophy of the Sido asih batik motifs, which symbolize the unification of two souls, the 105-minute ritual relieves stress and encourages relaxation.

The Plaza Hotel is located at Jalan M.H. Thamrin, the main street of Jakarta’s fast-growing Central Business District. The opening of the spa has benefited the harried busy bees that work and play in the area as an accessible, quick getaway. The Gurda massage is a powerful combination of gentle stretches and deep tissue massage that releases chronic muscle tension, stimulates blood circulation and significantly reduces fatigue – benefits you can glean in just 75 minutes. If you have a little more time to spend, the 135-minute Keraton Royal Signature offers a combination of the most effective massage techniques: including a full body exfoliation and a scalp massage that softens the skin and helps to release tension. Meanwhile, those who have just arrived in the city after a long-haul flight but need to be bushy-tailed and bright- eyed for tomorrow morning’s meeting would find the Sidur massage effective. Muscle tension is released through the use of flowing strokes, the effects of which are detoxifying and invigorating.

As can be expected at a premium spa, Keraton Spa offers a well-rounded treatment approach for each guest’s needs. Massage experiences are not the spa’s only promise: choose also from skin care treatments administered by professional therapists using some of the world’s best skin care products.

Who doesn’t want radiant, glowing skin every day? Stress causes the skin to lose its natural glow. With the right body treatments, you can reverse stress- related problems while priming the skin to be healthier than ever. Keraton Spa’s 90-minute-anti fatigue treatment begins with a gentle exfoliation followed by a mask rich in plant extracts which is applied to the entire body. The powerful combination of red palm for an anti- radical effect, myrrh for soothing and purifying the skin and neroli for softening, ensures your skin is truly flawless.

Unveil the secret to beauty with a facial treatment that uses targeted active ingredients to combat any conceivable skin problem. you are encouraged to discuss your needs with the therapist, be it a brighter complexion, firmer, more resilient skin or treatment of under-eye wrinkles and dark circles. The men’s facial treatment, also available, helps restore balance to complexions that are distressed due to shaving or climatic conditions.

Keraton Spa boasts eight treatment rooms including one couple’s room, two hot and cold plunge pools, steam rooms and infrared saunas offering a beautiful view of Jakarta’s skyline. although the focus here is on the treatments and the therapists who administer it, a spa’s aesthetic is the key to inducing relaxation.

Straightforward yet remarkably cozy and stylish, Keraton Spa’s interior elements do just that. When it comes to the spa, we have to admit that luxury does matter.
