Belitung, known as the “Seychelles of Asia,” features granite islands rising from calm turquoise waters, creating one of Indonesia’s most distinctive coastal landscapes. Along the northern coast, Tanjung Kelayang Reserve covers over 350 hectares of protected shoreline and offshore islets within Indonesia’s UNESCO Global Geopark, preserving a coastal environment shaped over millions of years.
With Easter approaching, the archipelago offers a unique island escape. Belitung remains a destination discovered gradually, set apart from the pace of nearby cities. Here, daily life follows the tides and weather. Within Tanjung Kelayang Reserve, granite outcrops shelter small beaches, and shallow waters shift in color under changing light. Nearby islands invite exploration, whether through island-hopping, paddleboarding, walking along granite-lined shores, or relaxing in quiet, untouched coves.
A Serene Easter Escape
Sheraton Belitung Resort offers a contemporary beachfront retreat framed by palm-lined shores and sculptural granite formations. The resort offers a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding islands while maintaining a close connection to the archipelago’s calm pace. For the Easter season, the resort introduces the Belitung Island Retreat, a seasonal stay designed around the island’s slower rhythm. Available from 1 April onwards, the experience includes afternoon tea, savings on island activities, and a selection of in-house experiences that encourage guests to explore the surrounding coastline. Stays begin from IDR 1,900,000++ per night with a minimum two-night stay.
A Quieter Coastal Hideaway
Further along a quieter stretch of shoreline within the Reserve, Billiton Ekobeach Retreat offers a more intimate beachfront setting. Facing directly onto the open sea, the retreat features uninterrupted views across the water and private beach access, creating a setting where the pace of the day is shaped by the movement of the tides. An Early Bird offer is available for stays from April to December 2026, with 30% savings on stays with no minimum nights.
