Museum
di Tengah Kebun
Located in one of Jakarta’s most fabulously busy
districts, Museum di Tengah Kebun is a surprising
oasis of green in the midst of congested, crowded
Kemang.
The museum covers 4,200 metres and contains
2,481 antiques from 63 countries and 21 provinces
in Indonesia. The museum is also home for the
owner, Sjahrial, so all these fabulous antiques also
serve as everyday pieces of furniture.
Carpets from Persia, sculptures from different
centuries, antique flowerpots, chairs, tables,
mirrors and cupboards add grace and colour
to the rooms. The building itself is an artistic
treasure, dating back 400 years to the Dutch
colonial period.
A tour takes about 1.5 hours and there is no
charge. You should book in advance, with a
minimum of seven guests and a maximum of 10.

Taman Sari Royal
Heritage Spa
“When East meets West” – Taman Sari Royal
Heritage Spa is an exquisite combination of exotic
natural herbs and high-tech spa equipment.
Inspired by the famous Taman Sari Water Castle
bathing complex in Yogyakarta, where members of
Javanese royal families pampered themselves with
luxurious baths of herbs and flowers, the ancient
Javanese palace concept provides the authentic
feeling of being inside the Kraton of Java.
Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa offers everything
from Baby Spa to Post-Menopause packages. All
treatments are based on an ancient Javanese
philosophy called Women Life Cycle, which teaches
that a woman goes through eight different phases
in her life, and each stage has its own physical and
mental changes that must be treated properly.
