Are you looking for an ultra-luxe retreat that's just an hour from Singapore? You're in luck with Bintan's hot new opening. After months of anticipation and delays, The Sanchaya Bintan looks like it's finally opening for real. The colonial-inspired luxe estate has 21 decadent villas and nine airy suites complete with bespoke services tailored to your needs (including British Butler-certified staff).

Slated to open September 1, this luxury beachfront property has four in-hotel dining options, including a poolside restaurant Tasanee Grill serving Bangkok street food and Decanter, a wine and cheese room with an on-site sommelier.

Although a stay here doesn't come cheap, get in on the promotional rates from Sep 1 - Oct 31: USD430 ($536) gets you a Great House junior suite garden view room, or opt for Thai-inspired one-bedroom villa at Lawan Village for USD490 ($613). If you have money to splurge, go all out with the four-bedroom Vanda Villa complete with a private pool for a cool USD4,550 ($5676).
