Artotel Group introduces psychological tourism programme 

Artotel Group, in collaboration with Perisai Psikologi Indonesia, has launched Mindhavana, a programme that combines hotel stays with professional psychological guidance.

Perisai Psikologi Indonesia provides psychological and personal development services for individuals, public institutions and corporations.

Speaking at the launch in Jakarta, Catur Prasetyo, chief operating officer of Perisai Psikologi, said the programme was developed in response to growing demand for travel experiences that support reflection and personal well-being.

“In today’s fast-paced and highly demanding world, many are realising that holiday travel is no longer enough to truly recover. There is a deeper need for a space to pause, understand oneself, and rediscover meaning that may have been lost in daily routines,” he said.

Mindhavana is designed to help participants improve emotional balance, deepen self-awareness and engage in structured reflection through guided activities.

Yulisa Susanti, CEO of Perisai Psikologi, said participants would take part in activities led by professional psychologists.

“Participants are invited to immerse themselves in an environment conducive to self-reflection through curated activities led directly by professional psychologists, ensuring every experience carries profound meaning,” she said.

The programme is targeted at individuals aged 50 and above and includes a psychological assessment, accommodation, meals and professional guidance.

Under the theme A Return To Yourself: For The Life Still Ahead, participants can choose three-, five- or seven-day stays at Artotel Casa Hangtuah Jakarta, Artotel Pelangi Park or The Green Peak, Artotel Curated.

Nastalia Nursanti, director of sales and revenue at Artotel Group, said the initiative reflects growing interest in experiences that focus on psychological well-being as well as physical comfort.

“As a hotel chain driven by creativity, lifestyle, and innovation, we see a growing demand for experiences that leave a deeper impact on our guests. For a long time, the concept of wellness has been synonymous with spas, yoga, or physical activities. Through our collaboration with Mindhavana, we want to introduce a new dimension – an experience that helps individuals pause, reflect on their lives, and reconnect with themselves,” she said.

Catur described Mindhavana as an example of what the partners call “psychological tourism”, which combines travel and psychological support within a single programme.

Yulisa said: “The objective is not merely to change locations, but to foster positive transformations in a person’s emotional and mental state, as well as how they interpret life.

“Through Mindhavana, participants are encouraged to shed their daily roles, step away from routine demands, find peace with unfulfilled expectations, and re-examine, understand, and accept themselves more fully,” she said.

The partners hope the programme will encourage travellers to view hotels and destinations as places that support emotional well-being and personal development, in addition to accommodation.
