The Sanchaya, a luxurious new beachfront estate idyllically located on the Indonesian island of Bintan includes 21 villas and 9 suites positioned on one of the most spectacular beaches in the region.
The Sanchaya Estate will offer guests an extraordinary experience with highly personalized service (with training by the British Butler Institute) and absolute attention to detail. Each villa and suite will have its own unique style, reflecting the rich culture, history and art of the region.
Influenced by its rich colours, variety of flavours, and exotic sights and sounds of South East Asia and its rare and incomparable terrain, the very best elements are harmoniously blended together in the individual personalities of the villas and suites.
Accommodation options
A taste of Thailand is reflected in the Lawan Village’s seven villas built around a beautiful man-made lagoon. The décor reflects Thai influences throughout, using elegant furnishings accented with dark wood, soft neutral tones and high vaulted ceilings which create the serene ambiance of a private residence. With romantic canopied beds and freestanding bath tubs overlooking private gardens, Lawan Villas are the perfect place to de-stress and unwind.

Eight One bedroom Sea View Villas reflect influences from Brunei, Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam and four Two Bedroom Sea View Villas reflect influences from Malaysia, The Philippines, Laos and Myanmar.

Stunning views of the beach and shimmering Indian Ocean can be admired from the nine suites located on the upper floor of The Great House. These suites are filled with art and luxurious furnishings sourced from across South East Asia, reflecting the romantic colonial style of the residence, as well as giving a true sense of the region. Each suite has a collection of The Sanchaya fine art and design.

Leelawadee Villas are for those who wish to indulge in the luxury of having three spacious bedrooms, and are ideal for a family or a group of friends. The décor of the compound was inspired by Thai traditions and culture, with soothing lush garden views and private pool terraces, the three Leelawadee Villas provide a haven of subliminal tranquility.
A stunning expression of Asian chic, the two-storey Vanda Villa, the Estate’s Presidential Villa, is influenced by the tropical beauty of Singapore and its striking black and white colonial houses. With a pure simplicity of white furnishings, the four bedroom Villa has a glorious sense of space and calmness which provides the ultimate setting for its magnificent ocean views.
All suites and villas feature king-sized beds and walk-in closets, and come complete with luxury amenities – from Ploh bed and bath linen and discreet modern touches such as Bang & Olufsen televisions and sound systems, iPad minis and Wi-Fi.
With a creative background in the arts, The Sanchaya is the manifestation of its Founder, Natalya Pavchinskaya’s philosophy on lifestyle. Reminiscent of the European Salons which were prevalent throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the concept of The Salon is a quintessential ideal of hospitality, where homes were opened to provide guests with a point of interest, and to share with others ‘La Vie Vivant’ – through food, arts, and culture.
Murli Rao, the Estate Manager summarises: “Just 45-minutes from Singapore, this charming retreat envelopes you in the intimacy of a private home while bestowing all the refinements of a world-class hotel. The guest experience at the Estate will be unlike any other, with every detail handpicked and authentically customised.”
Culinary offerings
The Sanchaya’s restaurants include The Dining Room for all day dining and the poolside Tasanee Grill serving Bangkok street cuisine in a beach setting where guests can enjoy afternoon tea and learn about the special blends of tea available in the resort.
The Salon & Library is a tranquil lounge area overlooking the pool and beach, where guests can enjoy a casual meal or beverage from The Dining Room menu or just relax. It also houses a very special wine and cheese tasting room called Decanter which has a curated wine list and a resident Sommelier on hand to assist with wine selection and pairings.
The Bar offers a menu of bespoke cocktails and beverages along with a selection of artisanal spirits and gourmet blends of fine leaf teas and custom blended coffees.
