The Residence: luxury in a double pack

The newly launched "Twin Experience" package from The Residence Bintan and The Sheraton Towers Singapore combines the best of two worlds.

The trip from one of Asia's most exciting metropolises to paradise takes just under an hour by boat - that's as close as it gets between bustling Singapore and The Residence Bintan, a villa resort surrounded by unspoiled nature. The luxury hotel, which opened in 2018, is located on the east coast of the island of the same name, the largest in the Indonesian Riau archipelago. The villas and suites built along the coast offer breathtaking views of the South China Sea. There is a choice of beachfront villas, each with its own pool and direct access to the beach, or hilltop villas surrounded by imposing granite rocks, coconut palms and lush tropical greenery.


These higher houses offer partial sea views
and are ideal for families thanks to their flexible room layouts. The interior design of the 127 light-flooded suites and villas reveals Javanese influences: The dark, hand-carved wooden furniture and beams come from local craftsmen; the beach and the sea were the inspiration for the choice of colors. The architecture brings nature indoors; interior and exterior spaces seem to merge seamlessly.


What a contrast to the 5-star hotel The Sheraton Towers Singapore
which is located right in the center of the wealthy city-state and in the immediate vicinity of Orchard Road, probably the most famous shopping street in Southeast Asia! As the journey to Bintan takes you via Singapore anyway, an enjoyable stopover in the top hotel, which also belongs to Cenizaro, is a good idea. Holidaymakers who want to combine the best of both worlds can book the "Twin Experience" package, which includes two nights in each of the two hotels. The Sheraton Towers Singapore package includes two nights for two people in a Deluxe Room, daily breakfast and a transfer from the hotel to the airport or from the Ferry Terminal to the hotel. The Residence Bintan package is also valid for two people.


In addition to breakfast, it offers a daily two-course dinner
return tickets for the ferry between Singapore and Bintan as well as for the car ride between the ferry terminal on Bintan and the resort. Price from 1450 Singapore dollars (approx. 940 euros) per couple. Additional nights can be booked on request. Only during a stay of several days at The Residence Bintan is it possible to take advantage of its wide range of activities and excursions. Guests can explore the rich underwater world of the archipelago on dives, try wakeboarding or windsurfing or take part in morning yoga. At the resort's own Spa by ila, modern techniques are combined with Ayurvedic and Indonesian traditions to provide guests with a holistic experience on an emotional, mental and spiritual level. The cuisine at The Residence Bintan is also multifaceted. International and Asian delicacies are served in The Dining Room, while Rica Rica invites guests to take a culinary stroll through traditional Indonesian cuisine.


The Residence by Cenizaro is part of Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts
and currently comprises five luxury hotels in Tunis, Mauritius, Zanzibar, the Maldives and Bintan. Further openings are planned over the next three years: in Douz in Tunisia, in the Medina of Tunis and soon on the Maldives island of Dhigurah. Cenizaro's first hotel project, The Residence Tunis, opened in 1996 with 155 rooms and 9 suites. The Residence Mauritius followed two years later with 135 rooms and 28 suites. The Residence Zanzibar, a resort with 66 villas, was added in 2011, followed a year later by The Residence Maldives on the island of Falhumaafushi in the south of the archipelago - with a total of 94 villas. The last new addition for the time being was The Residence Bintan in Indonesia with 127 suites and villas.
