The Serene Shores of Bintan Island, Indonesia

When travelers head south, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of Singapore, just an hour's ferry ride brings them to the tranquil shores of Bintan Island in Indonesia. Bintan Island is not only an ideal destination for leisure and vacation but also beloved for its rich marine activities, world-class golf courses, and immersive cultural experiences. In this seaside oasis seemingly forgotten by time, The Sanchaya resort stands modestly on a white sandy bay, like a Nanyang-style painting gently unfurled by the sea breeze. The word "Sanchaya" means "collection" in Sanskrit, and the resort embodies this by blending the essence of Southeast Asian countries, offering guests exceptional service, cuisine, and uniquely charming design. Spanning 9.6 hectares of lush tropical gardens, the resort is a secluded paradise with verdant foliage and swaying shadows. This distinctive beachfront retreat is renowned for its unparalleled style, enchanting tropical ambiance, and world-class service. The Sanchaya features 29 villas and suites, along with a private residence boasting breathtaking ocean views. Each space is meticulously crafted, adorned with carefully selected artworks and furnishings, allowing guests to deeply immerse themselves in the rich culture and history of Southeast Asia. The rooms are named after authentic regional flowers, carrying the fragrance of the tropics and the warmth of cultural heritage. Some rooms face the tropical gardens, where mornings begin with sunlight filtering through dense foliage; others are nestled by the water, offering serene lagoon views; a few are tucked behind coconut groves, with balconies opening directly onto soft, powdery white sand. Each vista provides a peaceful retreat for guests to savor their own holiday moments. As the sea breeze rises, the Tasanee Thai Grill lights up, its aromas drifting into the night. Specializing in charcoal-grilled dishes inspired by Bangkok street flavors, the restaurant infuses creativity and attention to detail. The Dining Room, elegant and understated, blends European culinary techniques with Indonesian traditions, reinterpreting regional flavors with sophistication. Whether it's a poolside breakfast, a seaside dinner, or an in-villa dining experience at dawn, each meal is thoughtfully prepared by the resort's chefs and team, weaving gastronomy and scenery into lasting memories. The Sanchaya offers more than just luxurious accommodation—it proposes a way of life. Guests can explore the culture and traditions of Bintan Island, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia through a series of bespoke activities; They can lose themselves in local cultural books at the library, embarking on a mental journey; or enjoy games like croquet, traditional archery, land sailing, and competitive paddle tennis with friends and family. Wellness enthusiasts can indulge in unique treatments at the spa or practice yoga at the beachfront pavilion at sunrise, rediscovering inner balance and tranquility. The gym, equipped with an interactive fitness mirror, provides a comfortable space for daily workouts, ensuring both body and mind find rejuvenation during the stay. As the only resort in Bintan Island with an exclusive VIP lounge, The Sanchaya ensures a seamless, premium private journey from the very first moment of travel.
