Highlights include a stunning outdoor pool, Valpolicella and Amarone tastings in the ancient Roman wine cellar, Salgari Bar serving delicious wines produced on property, and Arquade, one of the region’s celebrated restaurants offering local fare made with ingredients foraged from the estate.
The Sanchaya (Bintan, Indonesia) – The stately hideaway is cocooned amidst 10 hectares of tropical gardens and white sand beachfront on Bintan Island, less than an hour from Singapore by ferry. The colonial-inspired estate comprises 30 expansive and immaculately furnished suites and villas with outdoor spaces and direct access to the beach. Facilities include a spa utilizing Southeast Asian techniques and therapies and two restaurants: Tasanee Grill serving Thai cuisine inspired by Bangkok’s street food scene, and The Dining Room serving contemporary European and Indonesian dishes. Guests can partake in a thoughtful range of activities such as morning yoga sessions, Papillonaire bicycles, Blokart sailing, and stand up paddle boarding. For a local adventure, guests can head to nearby Sungei Sebung for a river boat ride through tropical mangroves to see monkeys, kingfishers, and otters.
