Indra Maya Villas Bintan

First, and sadly enough still the only time, we stayed in Indra Maya Villas was in 2003. We really would like to go back again one time cause our first experience with it has been an unforgettable memory. While we were out for dinner at the restaurant the staff prepared the villa for the night, turned on the outside lighting folded the bed cover and placed some flowers on the pillows, things like that. A nice attention of course. We especially enjoyed the freedom of our own secluded swimming pool and the view from the villa overlooking the sea was spectacular.

The place let’s itself be best described as Luxurious villa’s with private swimming pool. Nicely decorated interior in Indonesian style. Outdoor sunken bathtub and separate indoor shower. Secured area and excellent service. Your own golf kart to move around the resort. Can also make use of all the main hotel facilities.

From Singapore it’s about 45min. sailing time to Bintan, that’s how we came to Bintan by ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore.

We have the thought of something unique for accommodation and we came across this advertisement online:
Indra Maya Villa
Perched on gentle hills overlooking the South China Sea, Indra Maya is exemplary of its name - exuding dream-like quality and extravagant beauty fit for a god. Dazzling views of the sea are yours to relish in the luxurious comforts of your opulent suite or private courtyard. With total privacy and exclusiveness, Indra Maya is truly one of the region's luxury hideaways....
So we read on….
Each villa is an exquisite fusion of exotic Indonesian, Thai and Chinese architectural elements……
and we read further on the - facilities for 2-bedroom…
All the usual stuff and we noticed something unusual over here:
Bathroom with shower and toilet and sunken bathtub with outdoor shower in master bedroom…
Sunken bath?
For a moment, we really wonder how will the sunken bath looks like?
So we go ahead with calling the reservation number and make our last minute booking.
The next day we get our print out detail for check in when we arrived in Bintan resort.
That’s pretty efficient and fast, and we are all looking forward to this ‘Villa’ accommodation.
On the arrival day, the place is extremely huge with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and a private pool.
We were glad that we have the most privacy corner.
Is an unique experience to have bath in open concept without roof cover:P
