A NEW luxury beachfront resort, The Sanchaya, is poised to open its doors on the northern shore of Indonesia’s Bintan Island in the first half of 2013.
Spread across 1,300 ha in the Lagoi Bay area, The Sanchaya – which means “collection” in Sanskrit – is a selection of 19 villas and nine suites. Each guestroom features Bang & Olufsen TVs and integrated sound and vision systems, as well as 462-threadcount Egyptian cotton Percale bedding.
Michael Gaehler, general manager of The Sanchaya, said: “Bintan is well-known to Singaporeans as a convenient island getaway, but we believe our offering will also appeal to sophisticated international travellers who might not otherwise have considered Bintan as a destination.”
He added: “Our vision for the estate is to offer guests an extraordinary experience like no other. Each and every one of our villas and suites will have its own exceptional style, reflecting the region’s art, culture and rich history.”
The Sanchaya is a part of a wider development project for Lagoi Bay and its surroundings, which will include private residences, hotels and private estates, commercial spaces, a golf course and an international airport (TTG Asia e-Daily, February 28, 2011).
