Palau Pangkil Kecil Island Resort, Indonesia
Previous Page
Pulau Pangkil Kecil is our exclusive tropical island resort located close to
the equator. Pangkil is a private island and is only rented out as a whole. It
is not possible to rent the individual houses (which we call 'Driftwood
Palaces'). Pangkil is the perfect "bucket and spa" weekend for families with
children. It is also well-suited to corporate team-building events and retreats.
The island is ideal for couples looking for a romantic hideaway as well as being
the place to celebrate a birthday, wedding or anything else!
Pangkil offers nine elegant, detached driftwood palaces, all of which
have unobstructed sea views. None of the palaces are more than five
paces from the beach. We have a perfect blend of luxury and simplicity
even the tree house has a four-poster bed, fans and electric lights. Pangkil can accommodate between ten and thirty people in comfort,
catered for by over twenty staff.
Pulau Pangkil Kecil is a delightful little island located close to Singapore
in Indonesia. "Pulau" means islans and "Kecil" means small in Indonesian.
Pangkil the island and Pangkil the resort are one and the same. When you hire
Pangkil, you get it all: driftwood palaces (our luxury accommodation), the bar,
the sound systems, the pool, kayaks, snorkelling equipment, speedboats, kitchen
and more than twenty staff ! Truly "Survivor" with maids and butlers.
The weather is the same as Singapore's but remember you will be outside. The
sea breezes are usually more than enough to take the edge off the tropical heat.
In fact we suggest bringing a light jacket during the winter months, December
and January. We are close to the equator so the monsoons are mild and we
entertain guests 365 days of the year.
The majority of our guests are expatriates based in Singapore, however we
often have guests who travel long distances to be with family and friends on
special occasions. Our Singapore "jump-off point" is Tanah Merah Fast Ferry
Terminal, which is about 10 minutes from Changi Airport.
We value our guests privacy“ and our own so you cannot drop in uninvited.
However, if you are interested in booking the island, we can easily arrange a
visit.
We are often asked about safety and security issues. Indonesia is a vast,
diverse archipelago with some of the friendliest inhabitants in Asia. It is
unfortunate that international media attention sometimes focuses on negative
issues. We are thousands of miles from the political hotspots. Riau is one of
the richest and most advanced provinces in the country.
The safety of our guests (and staff) is of paramount importance to us. Rest
assured that we have good contacts in the local community at all levels. Our
staff and their families are all closely vetted and we have contingency plans
for all eventualities.
Mobile phone coverage extends to Pangkil and we have a large clinic and
hospital complex in Kijang, opposite Pangkil on Bintan Island. Don't worry, we
will keep you safe or tell you not to come.
Getting There
The journey to Pangkil is fun and relaxing. The record for the journey
