Waves of travellers from Singapore flock to Batam for a relaxing getaway from the monotony of work; it’s easy to see why spas can be found everywhere in the city. However, not all of them are “family-friendly”. Here are some of the best massage places in Batam that aren’t dodgy.
Spa Central (Batam Centre/Nagoya)
Spa Central is reputed for having great customer service among Batam’s spas. For instance, they arrange free pick-up depending on your location. It’s all about the fuss-free experience that keeps people coming back.
Spa Central has nearly everything, from couple packages to massages for kids! We recommend the luxurious aromatherapy massage, it’s well-received among their loyal clientele.
Packages start at IDR480,000/SGD48 (2 hours)
Spa Village - Beer Spa
That’s right, this is a beer spa. Spa Village is the first of its kind in Indonesia. For IDR450,000/SGD45, you get to immerse yourself in a tub of beer along with a full body massage. And of course, in that 90 minutes, you get free-flow craft beer! They claim that the treatment adds shine and volume to one’s hair and hydrates skin.
Not into the beer concept? Their other massages are quite affordable. A 1-hour Balinese massage costs IDR230,000/SGD23.
