Best Spa Hotels for Families in Palembang
12 family-friendly hotels with spa & wellness in Palembang . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Twelve of Palembang's family hotels run a spa or wellness centre, which turns a trip built around the children's pool time into something parents get something out of too. The Alts Hotel pairs its infinity pool with a full spa in the city centre, while Aston Palembang Hotel & Conference Centre and The Excelton Hotel Palembang both add sauna and steam rooms for an evening reset once the children are asleep. Aryaduta Palembang goes further with aromatherapy treatments alongside its kids' club and game room, proving a spa stay and a family stay are not mutually exclusive in this city.
Palembang's heat and humidity off the Musi River make an evening spa session more than a luxury add-on; it is genuinely useful after a day spent walking to Ampera Bridge or around Palembang Square in the sun. The city's newer hotel district near Jakabaring Sport City has pushed several properties to add a spa alongside their family amenities, rather than treating the two as separate hotel categories.

🧖Why Palembang is Great for Hotels with Spa & Wellness
Daily logistics for a spa stay with children usually come down to timing: Aston Palembang Hotel & Conference Centre and The Excelton Hotel Palembang both run sauna and steam rooms best used after the kids are down for the night, while The Alts Hotel's spa sits close enough to the infinity pool for a parent to slip away for thirty minutes during pool time. Ask at check-in whether the spa needs a booking or runs on a walk-in basis, since this varies by hotel in Palembang, and a walk-in slot is not guaranteed during busier evenings.
By family structure, a stay at Aryaduta Palembang works well for parents who want a spa session while a kids' club or game room covers the children at the same time, rather than waiting until bedtime. Families without that overlap tend to use the spa in the evening instead, which is where hotels like Harper Palembang by ASTON, with its spa next to a family-friendly restaurant, fit a straightforward dinner-then-spa routine. Splitting spa time between two parents in shifts also works well at hotels without daytime childcare available on site.
On budget and value, a spa amenity at a 3-star hotel like All Nite And Day Palembang Veteran or ibis Palembang Sanggar costs less than the same feature at a 5-star property like The Arista Hotel Palembang, though the range of treatments narrows accordingly. Families who want both a genuine spa and a lower nightly rate get the closest match at ibis Palembang Sanggar, though its spa offering is more limited than the dedicated wellness centres at the 4- and 5-star hotels. Aryaduta Palembang sits in the middle of that range, a 4-star rate with aromatherapy treatments included.
Parent's take
After a sticky afternoon walking the kids to see Ampera Bridge light up, I left them with a cartoon and thirty minutes of room service snacks and slipped down to the sauna at The Excelton Hotel Palembang. It was the first quiet half hour of the trip, and coming back to a room that still smelled like dinner rather than a meltdown felt like the actual win of the day.

Hotels in Palembang with spa & wellness, sorted by guest rating.
The Arista Hotel Palembang
Palembang
Wonderful
15 reviews
This 5-star hotel sits directly across from Palembang Icon Mall with a free shuttle to the mall, an outdoor pool, spa, sauna and a staffed kids' club. Rooms have wooden flooring, a flat-screen cable TV and a private bathroom with a bathtub and shower. Three restaurants cover breakfast through dinner, and the airport is a 25-minute drive away.
Why families love The Arista Hotel Palembang
Families staying here get a kids' club plus a free mall shuttle, which turns a rained-out pool afternoon into an easy walk to air-conditioned shops and food courts instead. The bathtub in every room is a small but real win for bathing younger children.
Wonderful
102 reviews
This 4-star hotel two kilometres from the airport runs an outdoor pool, a kids' club and a child-friendly buffet at its halal restaurant, with rooms overlooking the lake or garden. A free airport shuttle covers the short run, and the terrace and garden give younger children room to roam outside the pool hours. Ampera Bridge is 16 km away, and Jakabaring Aquatic Stadium is 20 km.
Why families love Hotel Santika Premiere Bandara Palembang
Families staying here on an early flight get the rare combination of a genuine kids' club and a child-friendly buffet, which solves both the entertainment and the fussy-eater problem in one stop before or after a trip. The airport-adjacent location trades city-centre access for convenience.
The Excelton Hotel Palembang
Palembang
Excellent
88 reviews
This 5-star hotel is one of the few in the city with an indoor swimming pool, useful on Palembang's hottest or wettest afternoons, alongside a sauna and outdoor fireplace. Rooms are soundproofed with air-conditioning and minibars, and the family-friendly restaurant serves American and Asian dishes. It sits 2 km from Bumi Sriwijaya Stadium and 9 km from the airport, near Ampera Bridge and Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium.
Why families love The Excelton Hotel Palembang
Families staying here get an indoor pool as the fallback when Palembang's midday heat or an afternoon downpour rules out the usual outdoor swim, which few other family hotels nearby can match. The soundproofing is a genuine help for a toddler's afternoon nap between activities.
THE 1O1 Palembang Rajawali
Palembang
Excellent
40 reviews
This 4-star hotel sits 2 km from Ampera Bridge with an outdoor swimming pool and family rooms for groups needing extra space. Rooms come with a flat-screen TV, seating area and private bathroom with hairdryer and free toiletries. The Balcony Restaurant covers local, Indonesian and Western dishes, and Palembang Square mall is 2.5 km away.
Why families love THE 1O1 Palembang Rajawali
Families staying here get a pool within walking distance of Ampera Bridge, useful for an evening view of the lit-up bridge without a taxi. The family rooms and seating areas suit a stay of a few nights, though the on-site facilities stay simple beyond the pool and restaurant.
ibis Palembang Sanggar
Palembang
Very Good
64 reviews
This 3-star hotel runs a rooftop swimming pool and a staffed kids' club, with family rooms and ground-floor units for guests who want to skip the lift with a stroller. The family-friendly restaurant serves halal Indonesian and international dishes, and breakfast includes fresh pastries and pancakes. Ampera Bridge is a 17-minute walk away, and Bumi Sriwijaya Stadium is 3.7 km.
Why families love ibis Palembang Sanggar
Families staying here get a kids' club that frees up an hour by the rooftop pool without juggling both children solo, and the ground-floor units solve the stroller problem some hotels in the city ignore. The 3-star price makes this one of the more budget-friendly picks with an actual kids' club.
Aryaduta Palembang
Palembang
Very Good
107 reviews
This 4-star hotel beside Palembang Square Mall runs an outdoor pool with a poolside cafe, a kids' club and a game room, plus family rooms with a fridge and free tea and coffee making. Aromatherapy spa treatments and four dining options round out the stay, including RJ's Sports Restaurant & Bar. It is opposite Carrefour Hypermarket, 15 minutes from Ampera Bridge, and 30 minutes from the airport.
Why families love Aryaduta Palembang
Families staying here get a genuine two-for-one: a kids' club for the younger one and a game room for the nine-year-old who has outgrown the pool by mid-afternoon. The mall and hypermarket next door make a rainy-day backup easy without a taxi.
Novotel Palembang
Palembang
Very Good
29 reviews
This 4-star hotel runs an outdoor pool, gym and tennis court, a rare combination of family swim time and an actual court for older kids to practise on. Rooms have a satellite TV, telephone and safety box, with some balconies overlooking the pool. It is a 5-minute drive from Palembang Mega Mall, 15 minutes from the airport, and 20 minutes from Ampera Bridge, with four dining options including The Square and The Orient Restaurant.
Why families love Novotel Palembang
Families staying here with a tennis-minded nine-year-old get a genuine court on site, not just a pool, while the balcony rooms let parents watch younger children in the water from above. The karaoke room is a rainy-afternoon backup that most family hotels in the city skip.
Harper Palembang by ASTON
Palembang
Very Good
114 reviews
This 4-star hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and a spa and wellness centre alongside air-conditioned rooms with city views, a work desk and minibar. The family-friendly restaurant serves a halal buffet breakfast with Indonesian, Asian and international dishes. Ampera Bridge is 8 km away, Bumi Sriwijaya Stadium 6 km, and the airport 10 km.
Why families love Harper Palembang by ASTON
Families staying here find the spa and pool combination useful for splitting a day between a parent's downtime and the children's swim, since the family-friendly restaurant keeps breakfast simple with a halal buffet the whole table can eat from. City views from the rooms are a small bonus after a day out.
All Nite And Day Palembang Veteran
Palembang
Very Good
38 reviews
This 3-star hotel offers family rooms with air-conditioning, a work desk, TV and soundproofing, plus a spa and wellness area for parents after a day of sightseeing. The restaurant serves Indonesian, American and Asian dishes with a bar attached, and a paid airport shuttle covers the 12 km run. Ampera Bridge is 4.8 km away, and Bumi Sriwijaya Stadium is 2.8 km.
Why families love All Nite And Day Palembang Veteran
Families staying here get a straightforward, budget 3-star base with family rooms and soundproofing that helps young sleepers, though there is no pool on site, which matters if swimming is the trip's main draw. The spa area is a fair trade-off for parents planning a low-key evening.
Wyndham Opi Hotel Palembang
Palembang
Good
26 reviews
This 5-star hotel inside Opi Mall runs a kids' club and a kids' pool alongside the main outdoor pool, plus family rooms and a children's playground. A sauna, fitness centre and garden round out the adult side, and the halal restaurant serves brunch through high tea. Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium is 3.9 km away, Ampera Bridge 7 km, and the airport 19 km.
Why families love Wyndham Opi Hotel Palembang
Families staying here find the rare combination of a staffed kids' club and a separate kids' pool, which means splash time does not have to double as supervision duty for parents wanting the sauna. The playground gives younger children a break from pool hours, and the mall location keeps errands short.
Good
39 reviews
This 4-star hotel stands 240 metres from Palembang Square with an outdoor pool, gym and spa, plus air-conditioned rooms with satellite TV and a safe. Sauna and steam rooms are available for parents after the kids are asleep, and Belido Restaurant serves Western and seafood dishes. The airport is a 20-minute drive away, with free parking on site.
Why families love Aston Palembang Hotel & Conference Centre
Families staying here get a pool a short walk from Palembang Square for an easy dinner-and-shopping evening, with the sauna and steam room as a parents-only reset once the children are down. It leans more business-hotel than kids' club, so pack activities for daytime.
The Alts Hotel
Palembang
Good
29 reviews
This 5-star hotel in the city centre runs an infinity pool and spa alongside family rooms with premium bedding and a tea and coffee maker in every unit. It is a 10-minute walk from Multi Data Palembang University and a 45-minute drive from the airport, with free parking on site. Cafe Delapan runs around the clock, and 10 Gastro Pub adds live music in the evening.
Why families love The Alts Hotel
Families staying here get an infinity pool that feels like a treat after a travel day, plus family rooms built for a longer stay rather than a one-night stop. The 45-minute airport transfer is the honest trade-off for the central, walkable location near the university district.
💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Spa & Wellness in Palembang
- 1Book a spa slot for the early evening if the kids' club or babysitting covers that window, since Palembang's spas tend to get busier after dinner.
- 2Ask whether the sauna or steam room has an age minimum, since several Palembang hotels restrict wellness facilities to guests over a certain age.
- 3Pair a spa stay with a hotel that also has a kids' club, like Aryaduta Palembang, so both parents and children have something to do at the same time.
- 4Bring your own reusable water bottle for the sauna, since Palembang's heat means rehydrating after wellness time matters more here than in a cooler climate.
- 5If travelling with a partner for a night off, split spa time in shifts rather than both going at once, so one adult is always free for the children.
