6 Must Try Traditional Spas in Jakarta

Since the 6th century, Indonesia has a rich history of blending Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern cultures to those of the local kingdoms scattered throughout the vast archipelago. Inspired by the ancient wisdom and the Indonesian tradition of bathing and beauty care, combined with the “new age” trend of back to nature, the traditional Indonesian spas are born. With the exception of some luxury spas, most traditional spas are more affordable than the others.  Here are some of the best traditional spas you can find in Jakarta:

1. Martha Tilaar ($$)

Bale-Bale spa is famous among spa regulars in Jakarta for its affordable price tag and all-woman policy, which make all the guests at complete ease and tend to sometimes spend an entire day!

Hair treatments and salon facilities like blow drying are also offered but not quite as popular as their body treatments. Price starts from Rp. 85,000 for a one hour treatment.
