Best for

Yes, The Sanchaya can work well for families who want a polished beach stay rather than a high-energy resort. Larger villas give families more room to spread out, while the beach, pool, lawn games and water activities keep the experience relaxed and easy.

What makes it special

The Sanchaya is special because it feels more like a refined private estate than a conventional island resort. It combines a 9.6-hectare beachfront setting, colonial-inspired architecture, ocean views, elegant villas and suites, serious dining, a 50-metre infinity pool and a calm Bintan atmosphere.

Room to consider

Choose a Sanchaya Suite if you want generous space, a verandah and a classic estate atmosphere. Choose a villa for more privacy and a stronger sense of place.

Insider tip

The Sanchaya has The Dining Room, Tasanee Thai Grill, The Bar, The Decanter and 24-hour in-villa dining. The mix gives guests refined European and Indonesian cooking, Thai grill dishes, cocktails, wine experiences and a more private dining rhythm when preferred.
