Embrace the warmth of Indonesian spices with this comforting treatment at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta.

- – By Amanda O’Connor

As the rainy season approaches, we embrace the warmth of Indonesian spices and take a warming treat at Kempinski The Spa.

Spa treatments are deservedly taken very seriously in Indonesia. In olden times, massage treatments and beauty rituals were reserved for royalty in the various kingdoms found on Indonesia's many islands and many of the treatments date back centuries. Nowadays, massage is popular with everyone from all walks of life and the ancient rituals have been modernised while respecting their heritage.

Renowned for honouring its own heritage and significan­t place in Indonesia's modern history, Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta is home to Kempinski The Spa, an excellent choice for those looking for a personal sanctuary, an escape from the hectic pace of modern city life that bestows indulgent rejuvenati­ng treatments on its guests. The highly trained, profession­al therapists are skilled in a number of massage techniques and use the finest natural products and herbs, along with Pevonia natural skin care products, to provide local treatments that create unforgetta­ble experience­s.

A superb seasonal treatment that utilises the bioactive and warming powers of black pepper, ginger and nutmeg is the energising Winter Warmer Massage combined with the Winter Fleece Wrap. Starting with a relaxing foot wash with foot compressio­n techniques from the US, the treatment

moves into a classic deep-tissue massage that focuses on relieving general fatigue, painful joints and stiffness, something everyone can benefit from. A delightful addition is the warming foot balm for that extra level of care. Follow the massage with the specialise­d wrap to deeply warm your body and further ease any residual tension. While you are cocooned in your personal herbal blanket and the spices are taking effect, your therapist lovingly cleanses your face before applying a rich hydrating facial moisturise­r. This nourishing top-to-toe treatment is like being wrapped in a warm hug and helps lift your mood, as well as banishing chills and fatigue. Feel energised and revitalise­d from this unforgetta­ble experience in a spacious, elegant setting.

Take as much or as little personal time in the relaxation lounge sipping on refreshing healthy drinks after your treatment to allow the benefits to your body and mind to further absorb, before leaving the serene ambience behind - until next time. Kempinski The Spa offers a comprehens­ive range of body and facial treatments for both men and women. Kempinski The Spa (kempinski.com)
