Screen-Free School Break for Singaporean Families: Telunas Resorts Rekindles Family Relationship
October 15, 2025
Between tuition classes, work emails, and endless screen time, many Singaporean families are feeling more disconnected than ever, even while living under the same roof. As the school holidays roll around, the idea of yet another vacation where the kids are glued to their devices (and parents are too) doesn’t feel like time well-spent.
That’s what we at Telunas Resorts are aiming to provide: screen-free holidays that create real space for reconnection, rest, and relationship. Here, you can expect for your family a peaceful, nature-rich escape just 2.5 hours from Singapore by ferry, offering uninterrupted time together.
The beauty of Telunas isn’t just in its emerald waters or soft sand beaches. It’s what happens when families are gently removed from the digital noise and surrounded by nature instead. Without the usual distractions, you begin to notice each other again. Conversations flow more naturally, laughter returns, and shared moments take center stage. For many parents, a trip to Telunas becomes more than just a break from school; it becomes a reset button for the entire family rhythm.
The Power of Disconnection
At Telunas, there’s no in-room Wi-Fi. And that’s intentional. Instead of notifications and endless doomscrolling, kids (and adults) are immersed in the real world: soft sand beaches, calm ocean waters, jungle trails, and open skies. Telunas isn’t about rules or restrictions. We intentionally curate the kind of environment where no one misses their devices because there’s so much else to experience.
Reconnect Through Real Play
Once the screens are put away, something incredible happens: kids start to play again. And parents often join in.
At Telunas Beach Resort, families can spend their afternoons chasing hermit crabs, building sandcastles, or creating their own beach games. Over at Telunas Private Island, kayaking together through quiet mangrove waters becomes a moment of teamwork and shared discovery.
The island naturally encourages an unhurried pace. There’s no rush, no rigid itinerary. Just pure freedom to enjoy each other’s company and let the day unfold.
Learn, Discover, and Wonder Together
School holidays can also be moments of meaningful learning, especially outside the classroom. At Telunas, families can:
- Embark on forest walks and waterfall hikes (seasonal) that turn into hands-on nature lessons
- Join traditional Indonesian cooking classes and pottery-making sessions
- Visit nearby villages and engage with local communities
These experiences open doors to organic curiosity, exploration, and connection in ways that screens simply can’t replicate.
Meaningful Rest
With the usual distractions out of the way, rest feels more intentional and deeply restorative. Parents can enjoy a soothing beachside massage at Telunas Beach Resort or opt for an overwater massage at Telunas Private Island while their kids explore the outdoors in safe, supervised environments.
As the day winds down, gather around a bonfire beneath a canopy of stars. Roast marshmallows, share stories, and enjoy the kind of presence that stays with you long after the trip ends.
A School Holiday That Brings the Family Back Together
This holiday season, don’t just go somewhere different. Experience something that helps bring your family closer.
Telunas Resorts offers more than a scenic island escape. It’s a chance to pause, connect, and build lasting memories without the glow of a screen.
Explore Telunas Resorts and plan a school holiday that truly matters.
