STEP INTO FIVE-STAR LUXURY at The Sanchaya, the most exclusively indulgent resort on Indonesia’s picturesque Bintan Island.
The beachfront estate on the stunning Riau Archipelago takes its name from the Sanskrit word for “the collection,” it’s a name that fits the gorgeous, colonially inspired address.

From the elegant furnishings to tasteful accents and thoughtful touches, each element of your stay at the resort has been considered. And with an expert staff, known as The Estate Artisans, ready to fulfil your every desire — an unforgettable getaway awaits at The Sanchaya.
Wander through harmonious spaces filled with one-of-a-kind artefacts, artwork, and furniture — each with a unique tale about life in Southeast Asia.
If you want to truly treat yourself — or someone special — book the indulgent and immersive Vanda Villa. The resort’s best villa category boasts a stunning standalone beachfront four-bedroom residence with terraces and indoor/outdoor living spaces, a separate guest cottage and a 12-metre private infinity pool.
Not only is The Sanchaya a guest favourite, but its unique design and decor have made it an in-demand and inspiring set for film producers, fashion designers, musicians, and creatives of all kinds, who gather within its walls to create masterpieces.
Exclusive Amenities

For those who love to feel pampered, you’ll feel right at home at The Sanchaya. The immersive experience begins with a seamless arrival before you reach the resort, in the resort’s private VIP Lounge — the only property on Bintan Island to offer this service. You can relax in style at The Sanchaya Lounge in Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal while The Estate Artisans take care of your express immigration and customs clearance.
Once on the property, you’ll arrive in a design-led area, The Anteroom Great House, where The Estate Artisans greet you and answer any questions.
The Anteroom Great House functions as the heart of the resort. Fusing elements of Oriental and European salons, the space transports residents to another time and place. Discover areas with distinctive characteristics inspired by the region’s rich art, culture and history that bring you back to the romance of the colonial era — with every modern comfort, of course.
Fitness enthusiasts will love The Sanchaya’s 50-metre infinity pool and fully equipped The Estate Gym, outfitted with Technogym treadmills, ellipticals, and spinning bikes. The gym also features the latest Lululemon Studio Mirror, which offers a wide range of workouts, including yoga, boxing, meditation, and strength training, with daily live-streamed classes and a library of over 4,000 classes.
For tennis lovers, the resort is one of the few to offer a Padel tennis court, an exciting sport that fuses squash and tennis. The Estate’s two new courts are suitable for players of all skill levels.
“At The Sanchaya, we are committed to delivering unparalleled experiences that transcend traditional notions of leisure and recreation. With the launch of our world-class Padel court, we invite guests and residents alike to embark on an exhilarating journey of athleticism, camaraderie, and discovery amidst the captivating beauty of the Riau Archipelago,” said General Manager Greg Williams, who loves to greet guests at their arrival and always stops by to bid them farewell.
If you are particularly lucky, you might also get a chance to meet Mr. Morris, The Sanchaya’s lovely striped mascot who supports a variety of artistic programmes, education and scholarship initiatives, environmental protection projects and Anugerah social foundation in Bintan, a unique initiative that hosts a home for the elderly and an orphanage under the same roof, so that children and seniors can live together, interact and help each other every day.
