In 2026, Hotel Tentrem Yogyakarta will introduce a new chapter in holistic living, where fitness, recovery, and heritage converge.
For Inclover Magazine, stepping into this world for the very first time feels like discovering a cadence that is at once both timeless and modern. Tentrem’s philosophy is clear, wellness is balance; the warmth of a sauna followed by the cool shock of water, the lightness of a nourishing meal, the earthy depth of jamu, and the artistry of herbal mixology.
The Fitness & Recovery Journey
The experience begins with movement, allowing guests to step fully into a cycle of activation and renewal. Guided through a short but effective training session designed to awaken muscles and sharpen focus, the transition into contrast therapy is where the body truly comes alive as the enveloping heat of the sauna loosens tension, the hot plunge deepens circulation, and the cold plunge delivers a bracing shock that refreshes the nervous system. Each stage feels purposeful, a reminder that leaves the skin tingling and the mind alert. The journey closes with a recovery massage, where any lingering tightness is dispelled, followed by a herbal drink that grounds the body with earthy notes. This is a complete cycle of activation, release, and renewal.
Wellness Luncheon
Wellness continues at the dining table, with a nourishing luncheon under the direction of Executive Chef Steve Tanudharma. Drawing inspiration from Indonesia’s culinary heritage, he presents dishes that highlight local flavors while simultaneously maintaining balance and lightness. Each composition reflects both nutrition and artistry. Portions are thoughtfully measured, offering satisfaction without heaviness, while flavors remain layered and refreshing to support recovery and energy throughout the day. The setting enhances the experience with natural light spilling across the tables, creating a calm atmosphere that encourages mindful eating. Nutrition is an integral part of Tentrem’s holistic approach, reminding guests that wellness is sustained as much by what is consumed as by physical activity.
Rawi Rasa: Jamu Tasting Ritual
Javan heritage takes center stage in Rawi Rasa, an omakase‑style tasting presented with the warmth of a traditional warung, evoking the charm of old but cherished flavors. Guests are welcomed by Mixologist Oki, whose vibrant personality infuses the ritual with energy and authenticity. Three variations of jamu are served, each crafted from the same base yet expressing distinct characters: sharp and invigorating, mellow and grounding, subtly sweet and comforting. The inaugural theme, Tolak Angin, is introduced not only as a flavor but as a cultural narrative. As each glass is savored, Oki guides guests through the story of this iconic herbal remedy, its place in Indonesian tradition, and its enduring relevance in modern wellness. The experience is immersive, blending taste, storytelling, and heritage into a journey that connects past and present.
Ramu Rasa: Modern Herbal Mixology Class
After the Rawi Rasa tasting ritual, guests are escorted to Ramu Rasa, where the journey continues with creativity. Here, wellness takes on another dimension as participants witness how traditional Indonesian herbal drinks are reimagined into contemporary mixologist creations. Counters are lined with fresh herbs, fruits, and spices, inviting experimentation. Guests slice dried fruits, mix ingredients, and pour the blends into glasses, crafting drinks that are as visually appealing as they are refreshing. Two recipes are introduced, each showcasing the versatility of herbal ingredients in modern mixology. The atmosphere is lively, with guests decorating their creations and discovering how artistry can embody wellness. It is a session that combines heritage with innovation, leaving participants with both knowledge and a sense of joy.
The four sessions come together to form a holistic journey that embodies Tentrem’s vision of wellness. Movement awakens, nutrition restores, heritage connects, and creativity inspires. For Inclover Magazine, this first encounter with Tentrem’s upcoming program has revealed a philosophy both inclusive and deeply personal.
