However, Montigo Spa is undergoing a facelift right now (spa operations as normal at its temporary venue), there will be a new spa menu when the refurbishment completes.
We recommend trying the Central Javanese Lulur scrub, which uses natural ingredients like rice powder, milk, turmeric and ginger, all grounded just minutes before your appointment to retain freshness and efficacy of its natural oils. Montigo Spa’s restorative treatments are mostly formulated without chemicals, so it is a refreshing experience for most, especially if you have sensitive skin. We urge you to opt for a full 2- hour session for complete indulgence! To wrap up the pleasant spa experience, we were served honey ginger tea and Indonesian cookies after the massage. For those who are fearful of getting massaged, not to worry as their treatments aim to personalize to your problem areas and strength preference.
