Cempedak Private Island

Honestly a paradise on earth! This place exceeded all expectations. We stayed for 5 nights. The food was impeccable, the service was amazing. The staff were some of the nicest we have uncounted. The whole island really is exceptional. We can’t wait to return. A special shout out to ATOY, JIMMY, MEISY, AORORA, M DANI. Thank you so much for making our time on the island so memorable You will not regret booking a stay here!

Cempedak Island is a special piece of paradise. The staff are amazing from the minute you get to Bintan ferry terminal and the Cempedak base. Everything is taken care of for you. The welcome is super special, staff and welcome drinks and the divine cool face washer. We enjoyed a wonderful balance of relaxation and activities. Water sports included a paddle/kayak and a swim around the island. Land games/sports include morning yoga on the jetty (Atoi and Fien), dominos in the Dodo bar, tennis, croquet, archery and boules. Balance this with a number of amazing treatments at the spa (Emmy and Metali), dips in my plunge pool and reading on the lounge chair. Mutia on the keyboards and singing for us was a pure delight. AND The highlight was the ****** ON CEMPEDAK very first edition. Huge fun interacting with the actors, uncovering clues, looking for clues and paddling for clues. I won't tell you who did it...... To celebrate uncovering the murderer, we had an incredible dinner along the jetty - was so special. Audrie Clark and Owen and the acting team from Evolve Arts were outstanding. Thanks Gaspar for the DJíng at the party, and Jimmy for your star äcting role and the group of wonderful cocktail makers. The cooking course we joined run by the consultant chef Penny was fun and informative, and of course delicious. No wonder every breakfast lunch and dinner on Cempedak is superb with ingredients from the local area/farm. This brings me to the food and other staff - what a treat. Thanks Esme for your infectious smile and willingness to help resolve any request. So many staff to thank, Ary (on guitar) Kem, Rafly, Eka, Lulu, Jaslan, Esti, Mey, Samuel great to see your smile again, thanks Rudi for looking after us and great to see Marjan again. WE WILL BE BACK......

Our stay on Cempedak was every bit as special as we hoped it would be. The villa is truly stunning and seeing it for the first time was a real 'wow' moment. We stayed in villa 20, which had beautiful views and full sun all day on the deck and pool. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt truly looked after. Every meal was delicious and we never felt hungry at all between meals. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and work with so much care and pride in the island. In particular Raffly, Ari, Eka, Yusfik, Kam and Atoy helped to make our stay special. There were plenty of activity options - we did the cooking class, nature walk, picnic on a private island, massage at the spa and kayaking, all of which were brilliant. We also just loved walking around the island and looking at the wildlife. Make sure to visit Mangrove Bay - if you walk along towards the end, there is something quite unexpected! One of our main hopes was to relax and unwind; the beautiful surroundings and great service meant that we certainly did that. Cocktails at sunset at the Dodo bar, the beautiful views at every meal and going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the waves are memories that will stay with us. Thank you so much to all the team.

An idyllic setting with beautiful and environmentally aware design makes this place very special. Food and service were superb and we had a lovely stay. Each vila had a private pool just superb and we loved our own private beach as well. Nice tennis court and walks in the island. Lovely bush settings. Water sports were good but be aware the reef in this area is in poor condition

Absolutely beautiful. We loved every minute of our stay. The staff are humble, polite and will assist with everything. The food was lovely and plentiful. Bungalows and views were amazing. Fully rested after our stay. Would I return = definitely yes!! ❤️

3 nights at Cempedak Island were not enough. The stunning environment, leisurely pace, and friendly and helpful staff made the stay truly extraordinary. I don’t know how many times I repeated that word, “Extraordinary”, but that’s what best describes the experience. We’re looking forward to going back.
