Luxeaway On A Private Island Holiday!
Going off the beaten track doesn’t have to involve distant travel. Just launched is a private island off Bintan offering ‘rustic-luxe’ island stays where you can indulge all your Robinson Crusoe fantasies without the hardship! Round up a group of friends – kids included – and set sail for private island Pulau Joyo – part of the Indonesian archipelago – and become a ‘castaway’ with all the luxuries of a swanky hotel.
You can choose from three kinds of accommodation – driftwood palaces, the largest and made of driftwood but with King beds, ensuites, day beds and terraces (think luxury castaway lifestyle); the more traditional Java houses, and treehouses.
Vegetate on the beach, read a book in your villa or by the pool, enjoy customised spa treatments, go snorkelling or island hopping and fishing trips on their 140-foot charter yacht The Hang Tuah. It’s a kid-friendly place with a playground, lush gardens and if you need, nannies can be arranged to help take care of your tots.
Bookings for this private beach holiday start from S$800++ per night for a couple, full board. To get there, take the ferry from Singapore to Bintan, where you’ll be transferred to their private jetty for a quick nip to the Pulau Joyo.
