Telunas Private Island

Amongst the Riau Archipelago, scattered like seashells across turquoise shallows, lies Telunas Private Island. Feel the tempo of modern life fade away as you approach by boat, your first glimpse of paradise framed by soft sand and gently swaying palms. Welcome to a place where shoes are most definitely optional and sunsets are a nightly ritual – in a hotel that gives back to both people and place. Because though you may spend most of your time barefoot, your stay will leave a footprint long after you check out, with your reservation supporting the Telunas Foundation.

Your Overwater Villa rises above the gently lapping waves. Wide verandas invite long afternoons with a book, while windows open to uninterrupted ocean vistas, best viewed from your king-sized bed. Surrounded by evocative furniture created from upcycled boats – just one element of this hotel’s carefully considered sustainability pledges – fall asleep to the soft hush of waves beneath your villa and wake to golden light dancing across the water. 

Days on Telunas Private Island unfold at an unhurried pace. Dip in the infinity pool. Dine overlooking endless blue horizons, being sure to keep an eye out for the brilliant flash of passing kingfishers. Activities are complimentary, so try paddleboarding and glide across the glassy bays, join a walk to the jungle waterfalls, or simply stretch out in a hammock as the tide ebbs and flows. Families and couples alike find space to reconnect here – with one another, with themselves and with nature. After all, Telunas Private Island has conservation at its heart, working with the local community on projects from mangrove planting to turtle protection. As evening falls and the sky glows pink, answer the call of the water to enjoy a candle-lit dinner on the jetty. You may just hear the gentle splash of distant flippers.
