All these exciting perks come with a slightly steep price tag though. The villas range from 3 million Rupiah (approx 285 SGD) to 4.8 million Rupiah (approx 453 SGD) but at least you will feel like royalty in this private island oasis.
Time to book this escape from your hectic work life and be treated like royalty!
