Sumptuous seaside estate, a 45-minute ride by high-speed ferry from Singapore. Magnificent public rooms in main manor house showcase Burmese window frames, Laotian temple ornaments, Khmer glazed pottery jars and Thai-style pitched roofs. The 21 villas and nine suites tastefully combine colonial elegance and a neutral color palette with accents of Asian exoticism, and they feature private courtyards or terraces and living areas. Restaurant options include a main dining room for international cuisine and the informal Thai Tasanee Grill for Thai street food; atmospheric bar is decorated like a Victorian geographical society clubroom. Full-service spa with indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, yoga pavilion, 165-foot infinity pool and gym.

Exceptionally beautiful setting in a former coconut plantation overlooking the South China Sea.
The charge for the transfer from the ferry terminal, a service that should be complimentary, given the hefty room rates.
The best time to visit Bintan is from March to July; avoid the monsoon season from mid-December to mid-February. Nearby Ria Bintan Golf Club is one of the best in Southeast Asia.
Lowest Rate: Junior Suite, $600; Editor’s Choice: Lawan Thai Villa, $660.
