Dreaming of a Maldives Resort Getaway? Here’s a Private Island — and Beach Resort Much Closer to Singapore

When you picture a Maldives resort, you might imagine emerald waters, soft sand beaches, overwater stays, and calm moments away from crowds. Telunas offers all of this — but with its own unique twist.

Closer to Singapore, Easier to Reach

Flying to a Maldives resort from Singapore often takes 7–8 hours including layovers and transfers. Telunas is wonderfully simple: just an hour’s ferry ride from Singapore to Batam, then a scenic boat ride to the resorts. In about 3 hours total, you’ll be barefoot on an island, no flights required.

Telunas Private Island: Maldives-Style Seclusion

Telunas Private Island is designed for couples seeking next-level privacy and romance. With just 15 Overwater Villas and 5 luxurious Ridge Villas with private plunge pools, it’s perfect for honeymoons or anniversaries (did we also mention wedding ceremonies?). Guests enjoy overwater massages, infinity pool views stretching over the sea, and personalized service that makes every stay feel exclusive.

Telunas Beach Resort: Laid-Back Island Fun

Telunas Beach Resort is ideal for families, friends, and couples who love a warm, communal atmosphere. Its rustic stilted Overwater Bungalows stand right above emerald waters, with a spacious beachfront perfect for swimming and sandcastle building. Kids can run free, join nature activities, and visit local villages — while adults unwind with beachside massages, sunset bonfires, and authentic Indonesian hospitality.
