The Sanchaya – Where Tropical Luxury Meets Colonial Grandeur

Nestled on the quiet and beautiful Indonesian island of Bintan, The Sanchaya is a majestic beachfront resort, offering extraordinary accommodation, highly personalized service, and views of the South China Sea.

Graced with exquisite South East Asian art and antiques, the estate’s colonial-inspired interiors ooze history, tradition, and bygone era elegance, while offering the finest in modern amenities. Outside, lush rainforests, mangroves teeming with exotic animal life, and one of the island’s most idyllic beaches await to be explored.

A Heaven of Art and Comfort

Housed in The Great House are 9 beautiful suites decorated with luxurious, locally sourced furnishings, original artwork, and up-to-the-minute technology. Oversized bathtubs, spacious balconies, and glorious beach vistas add to the design and drama of each room and guarantee supreme levels of comfort. 

The Sanchaya’s 21 sumptuous villas are divided into various categories, each of them echoing the style and character of this culturally rich region. Vietnamese influences permeate the architectural language of the estate’s Sen Trang Villa, where contemporary décor sits amid colonial splendor. Equally refined, the Lawan Villas capture the spirit and tradition of the Thai culture with rich dark wood furnishings, romantic canopy beds, and exquisitely crafted details.

No matter which one you choose, the experience is sure to stay in your memory for a long time, as all of the resort’s accommodations come complete with fabulous furnishings, museum-quality art and antiques, and the finest creature comforts.

A Feast for the Senses

In line with The Sanchaya’s commitment to provide guests with the very best of South East Asia, dining is a fusion of ambience, market-fresh ingredients, and warm, personal service. The main restaurant is where you can enjoy a la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also afternoon tea and an excellent selection of vintages from their own wine cellar.

The Tasanee Grill serves delicious Thai street food along with tempting desserts and refreshing drinks in a casual poolside setting, while the elegant Library and Bar invites guests to unwind with good music, house-made cocktails, and Cuban cigars in a timeless, luxurious atmosphere.

Snuggled in the estate’s wonderful gardens, The Sanchaya spa consists of six treatment pavilions, featuring a bespoke menu of massages and wellness therapies that honor both Thai and Indonesian traditions and leave you feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.

If you’re in the mood for shopping, the resort has its own boutique - the “Piece of a Collection”, a treasure trove of carefully selected antiques and artifacts from across Asia. Otherwise, you can always take a swim in the glistening ocean nearby, play by the estate’s large central pool, or explore the magnificent three-hectare garden surrounding the majestic property.

A Setting Like No Other

The Sanchaya enjoys a privileged beachfront location on the northern coast of Bintan Island, which makes it a superb retreat for those wishing to escape the fast pace of city life and immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and flavors of the fascinating South East Asia.

Moreover, the idyllic Indonesian island, renowned for its warm tropical climate, immaculate white-sand beaches, and sparkling turquoise seas, is only 45 minutes by modern high speed ferry from Singapore.
