Inaria Spa at Intercontinental Hotel Jakarta

Hello lovelies,

some time ago, I went to Inaria Spa during their grand and official opening. After a while with the status 'soft opening' now Inaria Spa at Intercontinental Hotel are in full service with every little details taken care of. I see perfection in almost every corner and wish for a perfected one in the near future, but for me so far, Inaria Spa is one of the best hotel spa in Jakarta.

-*-

I went here with an invitation from Juara as well, why? Since Juara has their own two signature treatment at Inaria Spa, one for the body (body polish) and one for the face (Juara Signature Facial Treatment) in which I tried on that day. Juara products also sold at the premise.

Impressive isn't it? From the spa concept and execution it's all well planed. Everything start from the entrance where they have Inaria Spa logo and there's a herb and spices bar where we can see all the ingredients introducing the key factor of their spa. Moreover, everything is chosen by the grades, so they don't just collect any ginger or tumeric on the market, they choose them from reputable supplier for best quality possible.

Is everything great here? For me, almost,
I do have minor suggestion, some tiles at hot and cold bath in the changing room need better finishing as some particles are coming off and it rather weird, like plastic residue here and there wherever I sat. But other than that, it's wonderful. 

-*-

I understand that this is their final renovation and it's sometime can be challenging with these tiny details but I'm sure, they'll get it.

And talking about their changing room (which is facility in the Spa which you can freely use with any treatment that you  bought) is amazing. Most 5 stars hotels around the world has these facilities but nowadays they kinda reducing, lowering their budget and so on, well, Inaria Spa is making me excited again, I love all of these extras, like their sauna and steam rooms too along with an ice bath.

-*-



Walk further from the changing room (separated from men and women) there's an area where you could just relax and unwind. Before or mostly after a spa, we sometime doesn't want to get back to reality just yet, we like to pause and take a moment or perhaps have a sip of coffee or tea, we can, in a semi private area with dimmed light.

-*-

Now, let's go back to Juara since the main reason I'm here is to try their Signature Facial Treatment, all of the showcase are about Juara Beauty products and what they offer to every customer. Yes, there are other treatments also offered by Inaria Spa.

Those who followed by instagram @Carnellin must have known about the IG stories I put where I walked into so many rooms with many treatments offered as well.

-*-

The rooms also offered options for certain treatment or situation like there's rooms for singles and 1 room for couple. All of them consist of a shower room and bath room for couple. There's one special bed for Madura's treatment, kinda like a shiatsu where the therapist will hold on on top, so her body weight is contained properly. Some of the staffs said that the treatment is more famous with the male patrons as I think the massage could be more suitable as deep tissue. It does help loosen up those stiff muscles on shoulder areas or others like their back or thighs. Some athletes who prolonged a certain exorcise also need help with their waist, hopefully someday I can try this treatment too.

-*-

Below is Juara's body polish and body cream with candle-nut, the smells is so good and somehow calming yet relaxing. I really love their products especially these. They both made my skin feels so smooth and comfortable. First apply the body polish, it will help remove all dead skin cells and then boost micro circulation, rinse everything off after a few circular massaging movement, apply the body cream until absorbed and enjoy the sensual and soft feeling of your feels-like-new skin that also smells so aromatic and fragrant.

And the prices of each of the products by Juara sold at Inaria Spa.

-*-

I do recommend trying Juara Signature Facial Treatment for being so good and super comfortable. My skin feels moist and I'm relaxed from head and toes and it skipped most part of the body heehee. But next time I'll come back to try on their body treatment.

-*-

The treatment starts with cleansing the food with massage and scrubs too. And then we moved on to the bed. I look like I'm naked there but no worries, disposable panties is provided along with body robe, shower cap, slippers and everything you possibly need like hair dryer, body lotions, shampoo, conditioner, body shop, and fresh clean towels in your private room.

The face is cleaned, massaged, pampers with deep cleansing, exfoliating, mask and sealed everything off with serum and moisturizer, all by Juara.

-*-

Imagine spending a day here, enjoying everything they can offer, unwind, relax and just have your day away from the stress. There's no rush here, no need to worry about when you want to leave, there's relaxing room, there's facilities and locker you could use. Call them and made appointment. You wont regret it! The couple room can be used by anyone from mom and dad to mom and daughter, besties, and so on.

Thank you so much and see you again soon!!
