The Sanchaya

The Dreamiest Private Seaside Villas in Asia to Book Now

"Tucked away on Bintan Island’s quiet north shore, The Sanchaya feels like discovering a well-kept secret. Each villa and suite blends colonial-era elegance with modern comforts – think Egyptian cotton linens, Aesop bath products, Bang & Olufsen entertainment systems, and fully stocked “maxi-bars.” The crown jewel, the Vanda Villa, is a four-bedroom beachfront estate with sprawling green spaces, a vast private veranda, and an infinity pool just steps from the sea. It’s a journey to reach (via Singapore and ferry), but the payoff is the sheer luxury of disconnection." - Faye Bradley
