Location
Telunas Resort lies approximately 50 kilometres south of Singapore in the Riau Islands of Indonesia, a location that combines remote island beauty with relative accessibility from major Southeast Asian hubs. The resort comprises two distinctive island properties: the exclusive Telunas Private Island, featuring overwater villas and Ridge Villas, and the Telunas Beach Resort, nestled on a pristine sandy shore with panoramic views of unspoilt seascapes.

Surrounded by mangrove forests, tidal estuaries, and a vibrant marine ecosystem, the setting invites exploration and immersion into nature. From mangrove birdwatching to discovering pink dolphins in nearby waters, the environment forms an essential backdrop to every stay — a harmonious balance of natural wonder and handcrafted hospitality.

Rates
Telunas Private Island can be booked in its entirety for those seeking the ultimate in privacy and bespoke service, ideal for family luxury resort buyouts or corporate retreats.

Rates for exclusive bookings (15 Overwater Sea Villas & 5 Ridge Villas) start at USD 23,048 for 2 nights (minimum) including dining and domestic transfers.

Accommodation
The Private Island hosts 15 spacious overwater villas, each offering expansive sea views, king-sized beds, children’s loft spaces, and generous living areas designed with traditional Malay architectural influences. Natural materials and handcrafted details create an understated yet luxurious ambience that complements the setting.

For couples seeking an even more secluded refuge, the five adults-only Ridge Villas offer elevated panoramas, private plunge pools, and tranquil garden spaces. Overwater villas and Ridge Villas alike maximise the sense of a private island sanctuary, with open sea breezes and quiet sophistication defining every stay.

Dining
At the Private Island, meals are served in an open, sea-facing dining space where breakfast, lunch, and dinner showcase fresh, seasonal produce and thoughtful culinary curation from the executive chef.

Activities
Telunas Resort offers a rich tapestry of activities that cater to both the adventurous and the contemplative. Water-based pursuits such as kayaking, paddle-boarding, and traditional fishing allow guests to explore the calm seas at their own pace, while snorkelling introduces the vibrant underwater world of the Riau archipelago.

Complementing these are curated land activities including jungle walks, village tours, cultural experiences, and forest exploration, all designed to deepen connection with the natural environment. For younger guests, the acclaimed Kids Adventure Camp provides structured, educational outdoor programmes that entertain and inspire.

Wellness is also integral to the Telunas experience, with an overwater spa offering traditional open-air treatments that soothe and rejuvenate against the backdrop of lapping tides — a highlight for those seeking a luxury spa experience close to nature.

How to Get There
Travelling to Telunas Resort begins with an international flight to Singapore or Batam’s Hang Nadim Airport. From Singapore, guests may embark on a scenic ferry journey to Batam, followed by domestic transfer by boat to either the Private Island or Beach Resort.

The resort team coordinates all domestic transfers, ensuring a seamless transition from ferry terminals to the tranquil haven of Telunas. While private yacht access is possible with appropriate immigration clearance at Batam, most visitors arrive via scheduled ferries and domestically chartered vessels.
 

Best Time to Travel
The best time to visit Telunas Resort aligns with Indonesia’s dry season, typically spanning from April to October, when calmer seas and clearer skies enhance water activities and outdoor exploration. These months offer optimal conditions for snorkelling, kayaking, and lounging on sun-drenched beaches.

However, Telunas Resort maintains its charm year-round, with each season revealing its own unique allure — be it emerald green jungles or tranquil, rain-washed days that invite indoor comfort and spa indulgence. Visiting outside peak periods also affords a quieter experience, ideal for those seeking uninterrupted privacy.

Telunas Resort stands as a distinguished choice for travellers seeking an exclusive island retreat — where barefoot luxury, immersive nature, and heartfelt hospitality converge to create an unforgettable escape.
