Total Relaxation Vacation often requires so much from us, taking away the intention of genuine rest. Telunas does it differently. We have small differences from standard resorts that make a big impact in achieving relaxation and rest. With a water bungalow spa and a kid's club that educates kids through adventure, there's something for everyone - without ever feeling overwhelmed. ## 2. Complete Beauty Telunas is immersed in the jungle-islands of Indonesia. The vibrant greens of tall trees hovering over the mountains is something that most resorts can't offer. At Telunas, you're completely surrounded by the earth and yet peacefully away from the world. ## 3. Cultural Immersion Being immersed in culture can often times be everything but relaxing; Telunas has created the perfect blend. During a comfortable stay on the locally-themed resort, the surrounding culture is introduced through seafood, steamed veggies, rice, and fresh fruit, while also including some western favorites. ## 4. Caring Staff As a guest with food allergies, I was able to experience the personal care that each staff member shows to their guests first hand. At every meal, the kitchen staff would find each individual with a food allergy and explain to them what should be avoided and offer substitutes of the same food offered at the meal. ## 5. Comfortable Environment We know rest - the importance of rest as well as the many ways to rejuvenate. There are a handful of opportunities for you to rest and gain back valued energy during your stay. Take a jog along the shore line, hide in a hammock, play with family and new friends, or read a book from the mini library. ## 6. Curious Culture We value our home as well as the many stories from people that visit. As much as we love to share our culture, we are intrigued to learn about the other cultures that stop and stay for a while. The resort's ambiance spurs on curious conversations that engage guests from all over. ## 7. Leadership It's clear right away that Telunas is a family. The managers of Telunas themselves engage with guests, staff, and locals. I was able to experience this while on an island immersion trip. The resort's leader came as a translator, interacted with the community, helped with a work project, and encouraged children to pursue their dreams. ## 8. Family-Friendly We welcome families in all seasons of life. From honeymoon suites to kid's camps, everyone is cared for. Kids can connect with other cultures in a comfortable environment while parents relax and rejuvenate at the spa or on the beach. ## 9. Impacting the World by Relaxing We are proud to leave a noticeable impact in surrounding communities. We're able to provide reliable jobs to the Riau Islands, as a majority of our staff are all from surrounding villages. English classes are available for staff, along with other beneficial programs that impact individuals and the community at large. ## 10. Intentional Telunas is intentional. The resort is the perfect blend of western and local southeastern culture that we didn't know we needed. Telunas trips are comfortable and the islands will quickly feel like your home away from home. _Grace Thuen is earning her Bachelor's degree in English with an Emphasis in Professional Writing at Grand Canyon University.
