Private island paradise that offers a blissful escape from the hustle and bustle of Singapore

Private island paradise that offers a blissful escape from the hustle and bustle of Singapore. Just 85km from Singapore, Nikoi is a tiny private island in Indonesia’s Riau Archipelago, once a spice-trading hub and refuge for exiled princes and pirates. Today, this 15-hectare escape showcases its white-sand beaches, clear waters, and laid-back luxury. There are just 21 beachfront villas, each with high ceilings, thatched roofs, outdoor showers, and verandas with hammocks. Some have lofts, perfect for families. There’s no air-con or TV, but with an ocean-view infinity pool, two breezy dining areas serving Indonesian and Western fare, and plenty of activities, from snorkelling vibrant reefs to tennis, croquet, and beach volleyball, you won’t miss them.
