Spa Facilities

A dedicated and stylish village designed purposefully with the intent to nurture health and wellbeing.

7 treatment pavilions for total relaxation.

The walls around each pavilion provide total privacy and enable guests to relax completely. Each spa cabana boasts large French doors which open up to the gardens, allowing views of the lush greenery around the treatment room, whilst gentle sea breezes whisper through. Every treatment pavilion contains an outdoor bath for two and a designated mandi bunga area where guests can experience a Malay flower bath followed by a spa experience of their choice.

Spa Treatments

The innovative Malay treatments offered at the Spa Village are unique to the area. Age-old therapies have been creatively adapted to the modern-day, ensuring that body, mind and spirit are nourished, rejuvenated and soothed. These restorative Malay treatments have been handed down from generation to generation, ensuring their authenticity, and therapeutic value. With a history of more than a thousand years, the practices are believed to have their origins in the convergence of Malay, Arab, Indian and Chinese influences during the days of the Melaka Sultanate.

At the Spa Village Tanjong Jara these long held health and beauty traditions are revived for you to enjoy. Treat yourself to this rich history, in which unique natural ingredients found in various indigenous herbs and plants are combined with the skills of our resident Malay healers to provide a very special health and beauty experience.

Ulik Nyiur (Malay Hair Treatment)
This therapeutic traditional Malay hair treatment begins with a head and shoulder massage using specially brewed herbal oil, followed by an application of freshly blended coconut crème. This treatment helps condition the hair, maintaining its lustre and colour.

Traditional Malay Massage
The art of traditional Malay massage is passed on from generation to generation. The technique consists of long kneading strokes that focus on the muscles, and pressure applied to various points on the body. This treatment uses oil made with special local herbs such as turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, onion and citronella that invigorates circulation. It ends with an earthen pot prepared remedy of scented herbal roots and flower buds, a special tonic believed to be the secret of anti-aging.

Sesegar Bayu (Body Rejuvenating Treatment)  
The relaxing Malay massage using long rhythmic strokes and thumb rolling techniques soothes every nerve and lulls the soul. Let your spirit float in ecstasy as the aromatic zip-up bag scented with kaffir lime and pandanus leaves envelops your body helping you to relax deeply and discharge pent-up feelings of stress. Refine the skin and stimulate blood circulation with the herbal body scrub before indulging in the freshly brewed herbal bath for total bliss.
