A truly amazing experience from beginning to end. A stunning beach front resort with five star treatment.
The staff went above and beyond to make this the perfect holiday. Would recommend to anyone who is tempted to book!
I had a wonderful stay at The Sanchaya. The property is beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the service was exceptional. The team genuinely goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and incredibly well looked after.
Two areas could be improved. The beautiful white-sand beach is unfortunately impacted by wastewater running towards it, which significantly detracts from the experience. The gym also feels more like a tick-box facility and would benefit from equipment that matches the high standard of the rest of the resort.
Overall, an excellent and memorable stay with outstanding hospitality.
It was one of amazing stays to relax, enjoy and re-charge, esp all the great hospitalities from GM, managers, chefs to all the staffs as well as all the great landscape and facilities. We want to stay again!!
A great hotel located in a beautiful spot on a tranquil beach. The staff were amazing and the food excellent. Exceptional facilities with a sensational pool, paddle courts and paddle boards.
Some of the most phenomenal, attentive and nice staff at a resort this size. The food was exceptional with a wide variety of menu items that isn't only South Asian. I can't rave enough about Sanchaya, it's a fantastic retreat and only an hour ferry ride from Singapore.

Wow what an amazing place - The rooms wonderful, the beach and pool paradise - But the food was beyond great Michelin quality with every bite all of us were delerious. Best of all the people working there so nice and professional -were coming back!
Great luxury hotel getaway so close to Singapore. Excellent, warm service, very private and idyllic atmosphere and yet kid friendly. Greg and team never disappoint! Love the spa as well!
A exclusive holiday resort. Despite running on full capacity, the resort didn’t feel overcrowded. There is lots of activities and space for everyone. Excellent private beach.
The Sanchaya exceeded all our expectations. It was absolutely spectacular from its location to its beautiful buildings and grounds. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and the food was beyond superb. We stayed at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore before coming here and I would say that The Sanchay far surpassed Raffles, which is knowns as one of the top hotels in the world. I can't recommend this hotel enough.
If you are looking for a quiet and exclusive hotel, this is the place. It will be very relaxing as you will only see a few guests all the time.
There’s a lot of staff constant looking after you and asking if you need anything- if you need them, they will not be overwhelming.
Impeccable personalised service from Greg and his entire team. It's the little things like water and towels delivered in little picnic baskets to us on the beach, bring greeted with a smile every hour of the day anywhere in the estate, pulling out a chair for my wife.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sanchaya. The staff were all really super friendly and helpful. The staff would go out of the way to help. Thank you to the Sanchaya.
One thing to be mindful of is that there are very limited dining options in walking distance of the Sanchaya so we ate most meals at the hotel which are excellent but you do need to allow for it in your budget.
If you are impatient do not eat at the Sanchaya as the food takes a really long time to come after ordering. This did not bother us as we were on island time.
From the moment we were met at the Sanchaya lounge at the ferry terminal and all through our stay, the service was like no other I have ever experienced. Every staff member went over and beyond to make sure all was good for you and always with a beautiful smile. A very special thank you to Nawa (front desk manager) who was so helpful and always greeted us with a warm smile and helped with organising trips, printing off documents and making bookings. Also to some of the other staff, Hadi (who drove us around to see places of interest on the island and even bought out cash to make sure we were not left short and we needed this on our visit to a lovely coffee farm!), Maria who gave me a perfume the day we left as I mentioned I liked it previously!, and Greg the manager who came out daily to make sure all was ok.
The hotel is classy and boutique style with a fabulous 50 metre swimming pool facing the beach and the food was divine prepared by the lovely Budi who came out many times to again check all was ok!
The beach nice although the tide went out a fair way and it wasn’t so easy to swim in but lovely all the same
So much more we could say but in summary if you are looking for a great hotel with amazing service on a beach and need to chill, this is your place ❤️
