About the Hotel

Being part of Traveller Made and Legend Preferred Hotels and Resorts, The Sanchaya is renowned for its indulgent detail in all things luxury amid sumptuous tropical surroundings. A glorious ten hectares of beachfront estate cradles 29 elegantly designed villas and suites as well as a stunning private residence with magnificent ocean views.

Meaning “collection” in Sanskrit, The Sanchaya was conceived as an eclectic mosaic of Southeast Asian countries, fusing the essences of the Orient with European influences. Inspired by the European salons of the 19th century, The Sanchaya cultivates highly refined service standards that pay homage to the attentiveness observed by artisans on a private estate. The elegant Dining Room, Library and Bar reference Southeast Asia’s rich history and culture blended with a vintage European refinement in its artworks, antiques, furnishings and spirit. Dining options are a celebration of international variety, paying homage to Asian heritage with colonial influences. The Tasanee Grill’s al fresco setting by the pool with open views to the South China Sea brings the vibrancy of Bangkok’s street food to this casually elegant setting. The Dining Room serves contemporary European and Indonesian delicacies in addition to an opulent à la carte breakfast in a welcoming relaxed setting which also enjoys views over the pool and out to sea. The Bar charms with its 1800s explorer club ambience and The Decanter is a spectacular glass-walled cellar with sea views for private dining or wine tasting with friends. The 50-metre pool is a wonderful central feature to the resort and perfect for invigorating laps or simple relaxation. The beachside yoga pavilion, gym and croquet lawn invite guests to be active and entertained while world-class wellness awaits at the Indonesian inspired Spa.

The collection of award-winning accommodation with exceptional interiors is cleverly designed to welcome solo travellers, couples, families and even their friends in the ambience of a private estate. A Sanchaya Suite for two with separate living room situated either on the upper floor of The Great House or more privately nestled throughout the estate offers breathtaking views and direct beach access while the sheer indulgence of the palatial 4 bedroom Vanda Villa with infinity pool is an outstanding beachfront residence, being a chic reinterpretation of Singapore’s colonial black and white houses. A dedicated service team are always on hand to cater to every whim in addition to the indulgent touches of Lefroy Brooks bathtubs and showers with Aesop amenities, Malongo espresso machine, Bang & Olufsen TV, Apple TV and iPad with a wide selection of movies.
