Skip the Maldives: Top-Secret Island Retreats Near Singapore
6. Pulau Pangkil
Kick back and relax at TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2018 award winner Pulau Pangkil, which boasts a rustic charm and a cheeky focus on «energy minimisation». That said, the exclusive tropical resort offers personalized service, delicious meals and a plethora of beach activities to choose from. The two of you will live like true island-dwellers, in your Driftwood Palace that includes options like a lofty tree house, and dine on grilled delights, fresh salads, and homemade breads and cakes.
It takes under three hours to reach Pulau Pangkil from Singapore’s Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. Take a ferry to Bandar Bintan Telani in Northern Bintan (one hour), followed by a 1.5-hour drive to Pama jetty for a 30-minute boat ride to the private island.
