October to April tends to bring our best weather, with December-February being our clearest water months.

Telunas Private Island is not impacted by the south winds as the main property faces south (vs. being in a cove).

Telunas Resorts has a two-night minimum stay policy in order to ensure the best Telunas experience possible. Considering the location of Telunas and the transit required, our guests repeatedly tell us that one night is not quite long enough. They indicate that a 2-4 night stay is ideal, with some lingering as long as a week.

We have had specific staff trained by the National Outdoor Leadership School as wilderness first responders who will be able to identify and assist with urgent needs. The nearest clinic is about 20 minutes from Telunas Resorts but for major needs, we will help you get to either Batam or Singapore for a full service hospital. We are also a member of International SOS which provides 24/7 dedicated medical advice, assistance, and referrals for our guests.

Check-in time is 2PM and check-out time is 9AM (unless you have requested late departure) so that our housekeeping team can prepare the room for our next guests.  Although guest bills are settled prior to 9AM, those who have secured “late departure” are welcome to stay in their rooms until 11AM and then in the public areas until their 2PM departure time.
