Turi Beach Resort – 9 Ways to Experience A Slice of Paradise in Batam’s Contemporary Beachfront Resort

When thinking of a romantic beach getaway in Indonesia, though islands such as Bali is a frequent mention, lesser known or frequented islands can be just as beautiful and charming. For those looking to get away from busy crowds and commercialism, consider Batam, an island in Indonesia’s Riau Archipelago in the South China Sea. Situated just a short boat ride from Singapore, it made perfect sense for us busy city folk to head there in search of idyllic beaches, romantic resorts and a relaxing retreat.

In this issue, we set foot to discover Turi Beach Resort by Nongsa Resorts, a beachfront resort in Batam set amid 7.7 hectares of beautiful greenery in a tranquil tropical village. Awarded “The Best Resort in Batam” by the Batam Tourism Office in 2014, Turi Beach Resort charmed us with its beautiful blend of contemporary and traditional architecture. Over the weekend, we immersed ourselves in unspoilt island beauty, lush greenery and impeccable service, to bring the entire experience back to you. Read on to discover the destination wedding and honeymoon offerings this chic resort brings to you.

9 Ways you can experience paradise at Turi Beach Resort, Batam

1. Wake up to a refreshing sea view every morning

With an inspiring sea view, wake up every morning to be greeted by the ocean and lush tropical greenery that cocoons the entire resort. Not only do you face an incredible morning sea view, you are also just 1 minute away from the beach! What we love most about staying at Turi Beach Resort, is you get to start each morning feeling refreshed and filled with positive energy!

2. Reside in contemporary & minimalist Indonesian-styled terraces

Turi Beach Resort is committed to making every honeymoon sweeter than you have ever expected. As soon as you open your eyes, the first thing that you will see is a beautiful and warm glow of sunrise that perfectly matches with the panoramic views in front of you.
