A new luxury private island - Pulau Joyo – in the Indonesian Riau Archipelago has started to receive its first guests.

Located close to Singapore, Pulau Joyo is ideally suited for those seeking a relaxing and tranquil escape from the daily grind.

Fringed by white sand beaches that shelve gently into the clear blue sea, Pulau Joyo is an idyllic, Robinson Crusoe-like island.

However, “castaways” need not worry as every imaginable luxury amenity is at their fingertips.

The resort’s sophisticated, understated style, combined with the natural beauty of the island, offers visitors the ultimate holiday experience, creating memories to last a lifetime.

Originally built as the private residence of the illustrious Marden shipping family, Pulau Joyo is comprised of eight exclusive beachfront villas, each carefully designed to blend in with the island’s natural surroundings.

Villas are set amongst the lush, tropical vegetation, affording guests complete privacy within the comfort of their residence. Homes have been decorated with exquisite furniture pieces and art objects which owners Antony and Elaine Marden have lovingly collected from their world travels and rare auctions.

Easily accessible from Singapore and Bintan, Joyo island is famous for its magnificent sunsets and tranquil location.
