A Tropical Escape Close To Singapore
EL Singapore|April 2022
Travel is starting to make a comeback, and we couldn’t be happier! (We can feel the sand between our toes and the chilled cocktail glass in our hand already…)
A Tropical Escape Close To Singapore

To keep things uncomplicated, an option close to Singapore makes sense for a family-friendly getaway or couple’s escape. And beautiful Telunas Private Island is exactly that – it’s in Indonesia’s Riau Islands, just 50km away by boat. We asked the resort team to bring us up to date on happenings in their pretty part of the world; and how we can get there to enjoy it!

Can our readers currently book a stay at Telunas?

Yes! And you don’t even need to put down a deposit. So you can book today for the coming summer or whenever, with no risk. We’re getting loads of bookings and inquiries, too, so we’re encouraging everyone who’s keen on a beach holiday at Telunas to make their bookings asap, regardless of border status. Once borders open for this area and quarantine is lifted, we’ll circle back to everyone who has booked to reconfirm dates and request a deposit.

Has anything changed at the resort since we last had a chance to visit?

The world might have changed but Telunas Private Island hasn’t! There’s no Wi-Fi here, and no televisions; no city streets bustling with traffic. It’s a place that has an unfailing ability to help simplify life and allow people to focus on connecting with those who are important to them. It’s all about relaxation and good old-fashioned fun – spending your days kayaking, stand-up paddle-boarding, swimming, reading a book or indulging in a spa massage. And, of course, the lush tropical beauty of our location hasn’t changed.

What style of accommodation can guests expect?
