Pejaten Village is one of those beloved malls in South Jakarta that locals hold close to their hearts. It first opened in 1991, and even though it recently changed its name to The Park Pejaten, many still call it by its original name which explains why information online can feel a bit scattered.
It’s not your typical modern mall, but that’s exactly what makes it charming. Planning to check it out? Here are some helpful notes from Ashley Hotel to make your visit smooth and enjoyable.
Getting There and Transportation Options
Pejaten Village (now known as The Park Pejaten) sits in the Jati Padang area of Pasar Minggu, making it fairly easy to reach from many parts of Jakarta.
If you’re using Grab or Gojek, travel from central Jakarta usually takes around one hour depending on traffic. From Soekarno-Hatta Airport, expect about 90 minutes on a typical weekday.
Public transport is also convenient. You can ride the KRL Commuter Line to Pasar Minggu Station, then continue with a short motorcycle taxi or car ride to the mall. Walking is possible, but not recommended as the path can be tiring. There’s also a TransJakarta stop close to the mall if you want a direct bus option.
If you’re driving, Pejaten Village offers plenty of parking space, though weekends can get full a little earlier in the day. Inside, moving around is simple thanks to a clear layout, multiple escalators, and elevators that make all floors easily accessible.

Best Time to Visit
You can visit Pejaten Village any time of the year. It’s a big mall with cool air inside, so heat or rain won’t be a problem. Still, many travelers prefer the dry season from May to October. The weather is sunny, and rain is less common. July and August often bring school holiday deals but also more crowds.
For a quieter trip, go on weekdays, Monday to Wednesday. Weekends get busy fast, so arriving around 10 AM gives you more space to explore. Evenings after 7 PM are also nice for dinner or a movie.
Shopping, Dining, and Other Tips
Pejaten Village is a great spot for deals on clothes, gadgets, home essentials, and more. With several floors to explore, take your time to look around. Visiting earlier in the day helps avoid the busy crowd and gives you better access to fresh stock.
There are plenty of casual food spots for a quick and affordable meal. Try local rice dishes or comforting soups, then cool off with a light dessert if the day feels warm.
