The Sanchaya is kid-friendly. Families can partake in archery lessons, cooking classes, bike rides, padel and croquet, while beach toys and coloring books are readily available to keep little ones entertained.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- At the far end of the beach, the four-bedroom Vanda Villa offers a buffer from foot traffic and communal areas. That extra privacy is the main draw, along with its own ocean-facing infinity pool, a sweeping second-floor veranda and direct beach access.
- You will want to spend time at the private beach, whether to lounge on the daybeds and relax, take to the calm waters for stand-up paddleboarding or go Blokarting (a three-wheeled kart used for land sailing) on the sands. An enticing 50-meter oceanfront pool offers another alternative.
- The Dining Room anchors the main house with Indonesian-European menus served in a warm, elegant setting for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For something more casual, open-air Tasanee Grill sits next to the pool, focusing on Thai flavors.
- Tucked into the tropical greenery, the spa specializes in Indonesian techniques, including deep-pressure Balinese massage and rhythmic stretching designed to improve circulation. If you want to take your pampering outside, try the open-air pavilions for Thai massages and reflexology.
- The Sanchaya makes traveling seamless. The Bintan hotel has its own lounge with refreshments at the ferry terminal, and it provides VIP fast-track immigration service.
The Rooms
- Most accommodations face the South China Sea, with ground-floor options opening directly onto manicured lawns or sand.
- Villas come with private pools and shaded verandas designed for leisurely afternoons. Interiors favor symmetry and restraint, with dark woods, monochrome palettes and thoughtfully placed antiques.
- If the plush Ploh bed and Egyptian cotton linens aren’t enough to lull you to sleep, peruse the pillow menu.
- The generously sized bathrooms feature Lefroy Brooks clawfoot tubs and walk-in rain showers, double vanities and high-quality Aesop toiletries.
- You will enjoy movie nights in your room with Bang & Olufsen TVs and sound systems, Apple TV and a complimentary “maxi-bar” loaded with snacks and drinks. Request a mixology kit to shake up some cocktails or pick a selection from your sommelier-curated wine cabinet.
