Overwater Villas, Fresh Air, and Sounds of Nature: Your Next Wellness Retreat Is Just A Few Hours from Singapore

If your idea of wellness includes clear skies, ocean breeze, and total disconnection from the noise of daily life, you’re not alone. While many wellness retreats around the region highlight luxury and spa menus, more travellers are now seeking something deeper — a grounded, nature-based kind of rest that restores the body and mind.

Enter Telunas Resorts — a peaceful, nature-integrated wellness retreat in Southeast Asia designed to help you unplug, slow down, and reconnect. Tucked within Indonesia’s Riau Islands, Telunas is just a short ferry and boat ride from Singapore, yet it transports you to a secluded island.

Whether you’re craving solo renewal, a mindful couples’ retreat, or a quiet weekend to reset your nervous system, Telunas invites you to breathe easier.

Wellness Begins With the Journey

Unlike other wellness destinations that require long-haul flights and airport fatigue, Telunas offers a private island wellness escape from Singapore that takes just 2–3 hours door-to-door. Ferry to Batam, board a scenic boat ride — and let the journey itself start to slow you down.

Where You’ll Stay: Overwater Stillness or Beachfront Calm

At Telunas Private Island, you’ll find spacious overwater villas perched above emerald waters. Wake up to the sound of gentle waves, sip coffee on your balcony, and watch the sunrise stretch across the sea. For even deeper rest, the Ridge Villas offer private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and breakfast served in your open-air lounge — perfect for couples looking for calm and presence.

Prefer something more communal? Telunas Beach Resort offers a warm, open atmosphere with rustic stilted chalets and wide beachfront for slow walks, quiet reading, or playful family connection. It’s peaceful without being isolated, and naturally restorative in its simplicity.

Fresh Air, Salt Water, and Island Stillness

Telunas doesn’t offer a typical spa menu — instead, it offers what many wellness seekers crave most: nature. Here are some of the wellness activities and offerings that are present in Telunas Resorts:

• Overwater Massages: Rejuvenate your body with massage treatments on the sea deck or beneath the trees, soothed by the sound of waves.
• Forest Walks & Waterfall Hikes: Move through lush trails and feel your mind clear as you breathe in the island’s rich biodiversity.
• No Wi-Fi in Rooms: True digital rest. No pings. No scrolls. Just uninterrupted time to reset and reconnect.
• Nourishing Meals: Simple, flavorful meals crafted with local ingredients that fuel without fuss.

Activities That Renew the Senses

At Telunas Private Island, wellness is woven into daily moments. Try a morning paddleboard session as the sun rises, or join a yoga session by the sea to breathe deeper and ground yourself. Go for a guided hike into the jungle, kayak through hidden mangroves, or take a quiet moment on the deck, watching hornbills soar through the trees. The island also offers cultural enrichment through cooking classes and batik painting with local artisans — creative outlets that calm and connect.

Across the water, Telunas Beach Resort offers its own range of soothing and inspiring activities. Enjoy traditional crabbing with locals, low-ropes courses for light-hearted adventure, and bonfire evenings under the stars. Families can unwind through beach games or simple shoreline exploration with children. It’s slow, grounding, and joyfully unplugged.

More Than a Resort — A Natural Wellness Experience

Telunas isn’t about indulgence. It’s about intentional rest — the kind that doesn’t need a screen, a schedule, or a sound system. While some may look to high-end resorts for pampering, Telunas gives you space to come back to yourself.

This overwater wellness retreat near Batam is for those seeking clarity, calm, and meaningful disconnection — without needing to fly across Southeast Asia.
