Kingsley and I took advantage of the long weekend over Singapore's National Day and went to stay at Telunas Private Beach Resort in Indonesia.  To get to the island you take the Batam Fast ferry from Singapore to Batam island in Indonesia, which takes about 40 minutes.  From there you take the Telunas resorts private boat for 1.5 hours to arrive at the resort. 

The resort proudly offers a no wifi experience which in today's day and age is actually a rare and refreshing find.  The hotel has about 18 over the water bungalows which are beautifully decorated and maintained.  There isn't any air conditioning in the villas however the contestant gentle ocean breeze kept the place cool. 

I would highly recommend this place for an easy to get to weekend break from Singapore.  

Kingsley and I tried Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) for the first time at the resort.  One of us got the hang of it pretty flawlessly,  the other spent more time in the water than on his board! But we both had a ball and couldn't stop laughing!
