Swiss-Belresort Belitung

On the Indonesian island of Belitung, this contemporary boutique resort keeps its rooms and small run of suites turned toward the water, many with balconies over the beach and all reflecting the marine setting in sea greens, driftwood detailing and deep blues.

The island itself is known for its quiet beaches and the scatter of smaller, often uninhabited islands close enough for a day out. Days shape themselves around the Beach Club, with watersports, a program for younger guests and food and drink close to the sand. There is all-day dining at the Swiss Café and a Lobby Lounge & Bar for something lighter, while spa treatments, fitness equipment and beachside activities lean the stay toward wellness. Tanjung Binga Beach, with its fishing boats and pretty pier, is a short reach away, as are the still largely undiscovered stretches of Laskar Pelangi and Bukit Berahu. A ballroom and meeting rooms handle corporate gatherings and social occasions. Tanjung Pandan, the island capital, is about 27 minutes' drive, and the airport roughly 45 minutes.
