In Indonesia’s patchwork of more than 17,000 islands, Telunas Beach Resort and Telunas Private Island are hidden gems to most – but, luckily for us, in easy reach of Singapore! Just take the one-hour ferry to Batam and the resort staff will then escort you on the onward boat ride to Telunas Resorts, where you’ll leave the city behind and have soft sand under your feet. Once you’ve relished the sunset views and quiet beachfront, here’s another five ways you can make the most of a weekend stay.
#1 Try a fishing adventure
A joy of a short holiday is disconnecting from work and life to try something new or surround yourself in nature. Fishing combines both of these – if you haven’t tried it, it’s an exhilarating feeling when you reel in your first catch.
At the resorts, you can book a fishing trip to try hand-line fishing and crabbing. And there’s an added bonus: what you catch, the resort Chef can prepare for your dinner!
This add-on experience to a Telunas stay includes learning how to tie a fishing hook, put on bait, use a fishing spool and hold and handle a fish safely, alongside many other tips, tricks and expert advice. All you need to do is put on sunscreen and meet the team at the jetty!
