Telunas Private Island

A fantastic getaway, we went there as a break from Singapore and a couple of hours ferry ride without airports involved and we were on a secluded island with a limited number of other guests. very private and secluded, and lovely simple experience. No Wi-Fi, amazing accommodation, very relaxing, great food, outstanding staff.

Everything at the resort exceeded our expectations! Especially the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. Our family of 5 (boys ages 19, 17 & 12) had a blast. We did the pottery class, ropes course, fishing, jumped off the jetty and enjoyed so many delicious meals. While the private island villa was rustic, it was pristinely clean and comfortable. There was coffee, tea, hot cocoa and fresh water in the room and enough towels for the five of us. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for the five of us. We will definitely be back! I would not change a thing about the experience and look forward to our next visit.

Our week-long stay at Telunas was amazing. The setting and the environment are idyllic, the accommodation superb, the food wholesome and delicious, combining local and international dishes. The villas are beautifully furnished and the view from the balcony mesmerising. We enjoyed the optional daily activities too—including a tour of a village on Sugi island, a cooking demonstration (spicy sambal!), and a lesson in working with clay from an expert local potter. But it's the staff at Telunas who make the place truly magical. Special thanks to Mehanna, Ella, Abi, Ayu, Syifa, Syahrul, Mini, Heri, Bakri, Nadia, Dwi, Chi Chi, Wan, Bob, Agung, and chefs Beng Beng and Butthy. Your kindness, conversations, and laughter made our stay unforgettable. Thanks so much ... we will visit again one day!

the staff at telunas made us feel like home and took care of us so well! we also love the mission behind this resort in doing good for the local community and environment. the beautiful scenery of this island, together with the lush greenery, the nourishing meals that were cooked for us, the warm and personal touch of the staff, makes this experience an unforgettable one. shoutout to ella, syifa, syahrul, abi, nadya, mahena, the chef and bartender, for making our stay so lovely!

The staffs on Telunas are an asset to the company. We had a good time interacting and experiencing the warm hospitality at Telunas. Special shout out to 'Abby' - our guide from Batam to Telunas, Ella, Mini, the activities staff (Forgot his name - he used to be in security) and Vince (The guitar player at Bon Fire). I also mentioned to staff. It will be good to have movie nights with inflatable screen by the pool. Serve some popcorns, snacks (Banana chips) and give some options of beverages (Wine, beer etc) an opportunity to generate more revenue :) Also, maybe a tour of some turtles hatching areas etc. and some information about the foundation.

We had a wonderful stay at Telunas private island with a group of friends and our kids! The place is absolutely gorgeous with luxurious overwater villas, crystal blue water and beautiful vegetation. The staff was lovely and very helpful. The kids club organized many cool indoor and outdoor activities that kept the kids busy and happy while not at the beach or pool with us. Even though they say that the club closes at 5pm, they also organized stuff at 7.30pm every evening to make sure that parents could enjoy a longer dinner. Food was nice, and they accommodated our vegan friends really well. We also enjoyed the beautiful hikes and water activities (paddle, kayak, etc). What i will remember the most: a paradise place and the nicest staff!

We are lucky enough to have visited Las Telunas 3 times since my youngest was 18 months! This time, he turned 6 while we were there and was treated to a lovely birthday cake and singing from all the staff! My daughter is 8.5, and both kids love it just as much as ever! Line fishing off the pier was their favourite activity that kept them happy for hours, followed closely by making pottery at the Beach Resort across the water. The cabins over the water, the view over to neighbouring islands, watching the sunrise from your balcony, having a massage above the water with the sound of gently lapping waves beneath you - all pure heaven. Plenty of activities to keep everyone occupied, great food with flexibility to cater to vegetarian diets and a kids club that the children adore attending. Above all and without any doubt, it’s always the staff who absolutely make the experience at Las Telunas what it is!! My son sobbed saying goodbye to them- he didn’t want to leave! Everyone was wonderful, with special shout-outs to Dwi who kept our kids captivated with his magic tricks during meal times and Della who was pure magic with the kids at kids club. Thank you to all the rest of the staff - both behind the scenes and front of house - who make this the little slice of heaven that it is on every trip we make there. A side note for families with younger children- beds on the ground floor of the cabin can be arranged as an alternative to those upstairs. Mozzie nets are also available if you’re particularly delicious to them ;). And the balconies are surrounded by a fence, so there’s no risk of falling into the water. The steps up to the top floor are steep, but we reinforced the need to come down backwards and our kids managed to navigate them without a problem even to make toilet trips in the middle of the night. Two little pieces of constructive feedback for the restaurant staff: after a big (delicious!) meal, the last thing we wanted to think about was eating again, but current practice is to ask what you want to eat for your next meal just as you finish the current one! Also, although we explained I was pescatarian and my husband vegetarian, meat options kept being proposed to us 😅. Perhaps these two issues could be worked around by discussing with guests at the outset of their stay their allergies and preferences (maybe with a tick box form indicating which meals they like and dislike), so they can simply be informed at the start of a meal what will be served? Thank you for showing flexibility to our children, whose tastes are quite fickle and who would only be able to decide on some days what they wanted to eat shortly before the meal time.

We had an amazing time at Telunas. The villas are exactly what you would want - charming, super private and lovely. The beach is nice and the pool is fantastic. Plenty of lounge chairs and places to be in the shade as well. Lots of activities are available (kayaks, SUP, etc etc). The food was delicious, authentic and flavorful. If all that wasn't enough you will fall in love with the staff. Everyone is friendly and ready to do whatever is needed to make your stay perfect. Make sure to say hello to Mini in the dining room and Bob (Chinhan) will make you a perfect cocktail.

Each visit serves as a poignant reminder of why I find myself returning time and time again. This sanctuary allows one to fully unwind and embrace relaxation without the intrusion of distractions. And oh, let's delve into the culinary delights! Hunger is never a concern here. Despite dietary restrictions within our group, the staff proved remarkably accommodating, crafting dishes that were both delectable and tailored to our needs. Anticipation builds for our next excursion; I simply cannot wait.
