Reviving the glorious past of Batavia, Amantara – a subsidiary of Agung Sedayu Group (ASG) – presents the second phase of Batavia PIK: a modern tourist destination that combines beautiful colonial architecture with contemporary elements. Located between the two sides of Golf Island and Riverwalk Island, Batavia PIK offers a captivating experience with a modern fusion of thematic, legacy and customary concepts. 

Indonesia, as an archipelago with its natural, cultural and historical wealth, has always captivated the hearts of domestic and foreign tourists. Being the world’s maritime axis and a strategic trade route in the colonial era, the archipelago has become a stopover and meeting place for various nations. This is represented in Batavia PIK which reflects the old Batavia town square, where events packed with visitors are often held ranging from colorfully tented bazaars to people’s markets offering Nusantara specialties and traditional souvenirs.

Beyond just a place to reminisce, Batavia PIK also presents Pasar Rakjat as a uniquely immersive experience, with this market expected to be home to a variety of local products from MSMEs, ranging from handicrafts, books, to gold. Visitors can explore this area which consists of various thematic markets, such as Pasar Gerabah and Pasar Buku, while supporting local craftsmen and writers.

An array of F&B tenants complements the dining experience here, ranging from Dewata by Monsieur Spoon, Sate & Seafood Senayan, Canton 168, Orasa’s, Saigon Ngon, and many others. In addition, the Pinisi Ship, which stands majestically in the canal between the two islands, along with a connecting wooden bridge modeled after the legendary Kota Intan Bridge, presents the history of the spice trade that further enriches people’s knowledge while enjoying the locale’s stunning scenery.

Sea-Doo Can-Am PIK now comes with its new personal watercraft (jet ski) showroom equipped with exciting test-drive facilities and Can-Am off road experiences such as ATV and SSV. For Sea-Doo and Can-Am owners, there are easily accessible custody, maintenance and repair services available, while water transportation services for the public and Sea-Doo personal watercraft rental services will be accessible at the Ginza Beachwalk pier in the future.

For lovers of sea adventure, the presence of the first Sea-Doo Switch facility in Asia makes vacations to the Thousand Islands easier, with Sea-Doo Switch rental being accessible for 6-8 people at a time through the Land’s End pier at Pasir Putih Beach PIK2. In regard to private island hopping, the travel distance to the Thousand Islands is only about 10 minutes to the nearest island, including Bidadari, Onrust, Kelor, and other surrounding islands.

Whilst developing various lifestyle destinations, Amantara also strongly supports the growth of the tourism and creative economy sector. In line with the Indonesian government’s strategy to empower MSMEs and the creative industry, the PIK2 area is home to the 12-hectare Indonesia Design District (IDD) with more than 200 local and international brands.

The IDD will be a prestigious landmark that brings together renowned designers and brands, industry professionals, design experts and enthusiasts, and the general public to collaborate with each other to advance the design and architecture industry in Indonesia. With the theme of “Initiate, Unite & Collaborate”, this event is expected to catalyse innovation and creative collaboration in the country.

As part of an initiative to create a green and sustainable environment, ASG presents open spaces like Greenbelt PIK2 (60 hectares) and Mangroves PIK2 (587 hectares). Visitors can enjoy various outdoor activities such as jogging, cycling, stand-up paddling, and relaxing in picnic tents or cruising down the river on catamaran boats while enjoying the sunset at Greenbelt PIK2. The modern rustic Orange Groves retail has become one of the visitors’ favorite destinations to relax away from the capital city noise, while a row of F&B tenants such as Osteria Gia, Paul Café, Pesta Kebun, Fillmore Coffee and Egg Hotel, and others will spoil the tongue of culinary lovers.

In addition, Gaya Spa Wellness is present for visitors who want to enjoy a series of traditional Indonesian body treatments, ranging from massage, hair care, to sauna. Meanwhile, the cabin and residential areas are still under construction and are targeted for completion in 2026. Every building uses eco-friendly materials and is equipped with solar panels to reduce the carbon footprint.

With so many interesting destinations, various commercial areas, and various exciting events in PIK, it is no surprise that Batavia PIK is a magnet for local and international tourists. To facilitate access for visitors from and to the PIK area, TransJakarta bus facilities, PIK2 free shuttle bus service, and the PIK2 Toll Interchange which will be completed in early 2025 are available.
