Bintan’s Luxury Beachfront Estate Joins the Prestigious Global Hotel Collection

The Sanchaya, a luxury beachfront estate in Bintan’s Lagoi Bay, is just an hour by ferry from Singapore

Just an hour by ferry from Singapore, The Sanchaya in Bintan has built its reputation around privacy, thoughtful hospitality and a quieter approach to luxury.

The beachfront estate at Lagoi Bay is now taking its place on the global stage after becoming a member of The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW), a collection of independent luxury hotels from around the world.

The milestone strengthens The Sanchaya’s position among Southeast Asia’s distinctive luxury retreats, while introducing the estate to a wider community of international travellers.

For guests travelling from Singapore, its location also offers an interesting proposition. A luxury island escape does not necessarily require a flight or hours of travelling. Within about an hour by ferry, guests can leave the city behind for the shores of Bintan.

A Different Approach to Luxury

Rather than following the formula of a large international hotel brand, The Sanchaya has carved out its own identity.

Privacy, considered design, Southeast Asian influences and personalised service form a large part of the experience. This independent character is also central to The Leading Hotels of the World, whose portfolio brings together individual hotels that retain their own identity and approach to hospitality.

For The Sanchaya, joining the collection is a natural progression as the estate continues to strengthen its presence among luxury travellers.

“At The Sanchaya, we have always believed in hospitality that is both deeply personal and quietly exceptional,” said Greg Williams, General Manager of The Sanchaya.

“Joining The Leading Hotels of the World reflects our commitment to delivering distinctive and memorable experiences to our guests. Through this partnership, we can offer our guests an elevated journey that extends the essence of The Sanchaya far beyond our shores.”

The affiliation also gives the estate access to LHW’s international network while allowing it to retain the individuality that has shaped The Sanchaya experience.

More Benefits for Returning Travellers

Another addition for guests is access to Leaders Club, the loyalty programme by The Leading Hotels of the World.

Eligible members can enjoy benefits when staying at The Sanchaya, while earning points that can be used towards future stays across participating LHW properties worldwide.

Depending on membership level and availability, privileges can include complimentary continental breakfast for two, a personalised welcome gift, complimentary WiFi, priority room upgrades, early check-in and late check-out.

Elite members may also request confirmed room upgrades through eligible LHW booking channels before arriving at the estate.

The programme has three membership tiers, Club, Sterling and Aurelian, with additional privileges becoming available as members progress through the programme.

For frequent travellers, the benefit goes beyond collecting points. Guest preferences and membership status can be recognised before arrival, allowing the hotel team to personalise the stay from the time a reservation is made.

Bintan Luxury With A Global Connection

The Sanchaya’s entry into The Leading Hotels of the World gives the Bintan estate a stronger connection to the international luxury travel market without changing the independent character behind its appeal.

For travellers in Singapore and the region, it also puts another globally recognised luxury experience surprisingly close to home.

Sometimes, getting away does not have to mean going very far.
