One hour from Singapore, I found my dream room in this stunning hotel!


I took a one-hour boat ride from Singapore to Bintan Island and found my dream room here. I still miss it after coming back! The view from the room is so beautiful with the sunshine and beach. It's so comfortable to just sit on the balcony. The Sanchaya, a treasure hotel on Bintan Island, is located on the northern coast of Bintan Island, Indonesia, and is a member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts LEGEND Collection. The LEGEND Collection brings together the world's top independent hotels, and The Sanchaya has become a secret garden for travelers seeking extraordinary experiences with its cultural depth and ultimate privacy.

The Sanchaya has only 30 suites and villas on its 9-hectare territory, which is a respect for privacy and individuality. From customized dining to special events, every detail shows ingenuity. The hotel's architecture is inspired by the 19th-century Southeast Asian manor, with Thai-style villas and Nanyang-style bungalows. The elegance of teak structures and handicrafts is intertwined, while modern facilities are quietly integrated into it. The main restaurant cleverly blends Indonesian flavors with Western cuisine, and public spaces such as the library and swimming pool continue the low-key sophistication.

It is worth mentioning that The Sanchaya has its own VIP Lounge at the Bintan Island Pier. After taking a one-hour boat ride from Singapore to Indonesia, you don’t have to go through immigration procedures such as passport stamping yourself. The hotel butler will take care of everything. The same is true when leaving the country, which is so convenient! In addition, the resort has designed a series of cultural immersion experiences, from mangrove canoe expeditions to spice garden visits, allowing guests to connect with the natural pulse of Bintan Island. There are no noisy crowds here, only the whispers of coconut groves and the soft murmur of waves, reserving a pure piece of land for travelers seeking a deep vacation.
