There are two broad kinds of massage parlours in Jakarta:
* The massage parlours not associated with any sexual services, which are often referred to as "family spa". They are located mostly in South Jakarta, in malls or in the 5 stars hotels for the best ones. I wrote an article (here: Jakarta's Best massage & Spa) about these to help you find the best one for you.
* The second kind of massage parlours offer a "plus plus", or an extra service (handjob finish), and cater only to men. Almost all of them are located in the Northern part of the town, after you pass the Monas. Most of them are inside large buildings called "one-stop entertainment complex", with other facilities included (the more often a hotel, a lounge, a club, a restaurant, a karaoke). Such massage parlours are extremely popular among Indonesians and it’s a common practice for them to patronize these libertine establishments. Actually, they won't consider it as cheating, but I will let you be your own judge.
Are you looking for a hotel with a naughty spa inside? Check: Ochardz Industri, Orchardz Jayakarta, Orchardz Bandara or B'Fashion. All these hotels can be booked on Agoda and they have famous massage parlours with extra service. More information about girl-friendly hotels in Jakarta in my Jakarta Hotel Guide.
These are hedonistic temples like you won't find any in Europe or in the US, especially at those prices. Indeed, it’s not only massage you can get there, but various services to help you relax and feel good. When you pay for the massage, you are entitled to use the facilities of the spa, which typically include a jacuzzi, a sauna, a steam room, a lounge, a gym, a swimming pool. Some have more stuff, such as an oxygen room, a theatre with large screen, etc. You can spend an entire afternoon there for $30 dollars (for the nicest ones) before actually getting your massage. Don’t say Jakarta is a boring city if you’ve never tried one of these!
The quality of the service, the cleanliness of the spa, the kind of massages provided, the number of facilities, the beauty of the masseuse, the price: There are many factors that can make your experience more enjoyable. To help you choose the good spa for your need, here is the list of Jakarta’s best massage parlours & spa (you can click on the names for a complete review):
1) Sun City Luxury Spa
2) Alexis Hotel’s Bathhouse
3) Malioboro Hotel & Spa
4) Fortune
5) Delta Spa
6) Sumo Spa
7) B'Fashion Spa
8) MyPlace
9) Emporium
10) Sense (ex Sands) Spa
Update November 2014: New places have opened in Jakarta. There are two massage parlours that are the hottest at the moment, because they keep the price quite low compared to Malioboro or Alexis, for a quality of service which is excellent: Terminal Classic and M Star. Other popular spots include: Orchardz spa, Kimochi spa, D'Heaven, King Cross.
Some massage parlours offer, of course, full sexual services (among which some of the places listed above), but since I've never used these, I will leave this for other people to review.
