Travelers from Singapore will soon have a new vacation option \u2014 one that doesn’t require a flight.<\/p>\n

A new Indonesian private island, named ONE\u00b015 Marina Nirup Island, opened in July nine miles south of Singapore.<\/p>\n

The launch \u2014 the first of two phases \u2014 included the opening of a restaurant and bar, ferry terminal and marina that can hold 44 yachts up to 150 feet long. Immigration and customs services are also available, though currently by appointment only.<\/p>\n

Nirup Island is accessible only via private boat, according to a company representative, but that will change upon completion of the second phase of development in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A luxury hotel in the works<\/h2>\n
\n

Ferry services are set to coincide with the opening of a Westin Hotels & Resorts property, currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024, according to a company representative.<\/p>\n

The hotel will have 94 rooms and 52 villas, according to the representative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another development, The Riahi Residences, is scheduled to open during the second phase of the island’s opening, with 30 villas for sale, according to a company representative. <\/p>\n

Westin Hotels & Resorts currently operates 12 hotels in Southeast Asia, including one in Singapore and the Philippines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A leisure and business retreat<\/h2>\n
\n

Nirup Island is owned by PT. Tritunas Sinar Benua, an Indonesian real estate developer, and is managed by the marina operator SUTL Enterprise.<\/p>\n

Arthur Tay, SUTL Enterprise’s CEO and executive director, said the opening of the marina will ease demand for yachting berths in Singapore.<\/p>\n

“Our aspiration was to curate an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind luxury destination for boaters and travelers,” he told CNBC Travel. “The island also hopes to entice our ever-growing business traveler demographic \u2026 as a destination for corporate retreats and MICE events.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Other options in the Riau Islands<\/h2>\n
\n

ONE\u00b015 Marina Nirup Island is part of Indonesia’s Riau Islands, a province in the South China Sea where several private island hotels have been developed over the past two decades.<\/p>\n

One of them is Bawah Reserve, an island resort opened in 2017. Bawah Reserve sits nearly 185 miles northeast of Singapore and is accessible by ferry, followed by <\/strong>seaplane. The resort includes six islands and 36 bungalows and suites, according to its website.<\/p>\n

Nikoi Private Island opened in 2007, and is around 53 miles from Singapore. In 2017, the owners opened a second private island, Cempedak, that welcomes guests aged 16 or older.<\/p>\n

The Telunas brand operates two hotels in the Riau Islands, including Telunas Private Island Resort. Opened in 2004, the resort has overwater villas that come with balconies and children’s lofts.<\/p>\n

Of these resorts, Nirup Island is the closest to Singapore.<\/p>\n

“My vision has always been to create a beautiful necklace of pearls, adorning the coastlines of this region, with each pearl representing a unique ONE\u00b015 Marina,” said Tay.<\/p>\n
