The owners of the island have created a perfect environment with every luxury you could need or want but expressed in a back to basics setting. The villas are an exquisite experience, blending in seemlessly with their environment and providing a perfect mix of practical luxury and nature. There is no getting away from the more natural inhabitants of the... More

Thanks for your very kind review. Great to read that you enjoyed the concept and the food. Please bear in mind that the daily board rate of S$90++ does include most of the activities on the island so when you take this into account we do believe that the board charge does represent good value particularly given we are operating...

We arrived at Nikoi for a 3 night stay from Bintan Island. The transfer process is excellent with a door-to-door service within a few hours. Nikoi island is absolutely stunning! The rooms are basic, but nicely done up. Access to the beach is directly from the unit and sea-views galore! All water sports are included. Kids club service is also... More

There is a reason that I have not written a review earlier about my fantastic stay in Nikoi - words cannot do it justice and the superlatives I know are inadequate to describe it. The experience was incredible from the moment the boat approached, revealing this postcard perfect island with pure white sand beaches with the texture of talcum powder.... More

We just spent five amazing days on Nikoi island, together with our two girls (4 & 6 years old). We were a party of 6 adults and 6 kids and rented the 3 BR villa (number 6). Everything is exceptional and special. Very different to anything we have ever encountered and visited in Asia. Living in this part of the... More

The staff at Nikoi are so attentive and welcoming. You have very special people welcoming your guests that take a genuine interest and make conversation fun. Special thanks to the very intelligent and fun Salena and #7 on BLD running a tight ship at the dining room. Go team!

Thanks for your very kind review and your particularly kind comments about our staff. Sorry about the noise from the fishing boats. It is unusual that they would run their engines at night so not sure why this was the case. We do ask them to be quiet but there is not a lot we can do. They will occasionally... More

Of the dozens of hotels I have reviewed I rarely ever give a perfect score. This time is an exception. I purchased the room months in advance and was not disappointed. OK, there is no a/c, no frig, and no flat screen TV or phone. But here, who needs them. If you buy the meal package everything is basically covered... More
