After clearing passport control and security, it's on Level 2 next to Gate 4.

Access at this location is via oneworld. As the most polished branded independent lounge at JKIA, it's a consistent, recognisable choice for travellers who know the Plaza Premium experience from other airports.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable pre-flight spot with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work in the polished Plaza Premium setting, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge.
A buffet in the usual Plaza Premium style — hot dishes alongside salads, sandwiches and snacks, plus a bar serving wines, beers and spirits, and coffee, tea and soft drinks. The spread refreshes through the day to suit different departure times.
