Nestled along one of Indonesia’s lesser-known coasts, the Tanjung Kelayang Reserve serves as a sanctuary of sustainable luxury, harmonizing untouched nature with visionary conservation efforts.

“Every aspect of Tanjung Kelayang Reserve is guided by nature itself,” shares Daniel Alexander Napitupulu, Director of Tanjung Kelayang Reserve. “Our goal is not just preservation, but to create a self-sustaining model where wildlife, the local community, and hospitality thrive together. Sustainability isn’t just about protecting the land—it’s about fostering a deeper connection between people and nature, ensuring that every guest experiences the beauty of Belitung while embracing a renewed sense of responsibility and appreciation for the environment.”

The reserve’s history stretches back to its days as a pivotal maritime hub on the ancient Silk Road. The discovery of a significant shipwreck filled with Tang Dynasty ceramics in 1998 only added to its historical importance, asserting Belitung’s role in global trade. Today, this legacy is preserved while encouraging visitors to marvel at its pristine landscapes.

In the heart of the reserve lies a commitment to conservation; over half of the area remains untouched, safeguarding rare species.

For visitors seeking refined comfort, the Sheraton Belitung Resort offers elegantly designed rooms and immersive experiences. Guests can savor local cuisine, relax by the infinity pool, or participate in eco-friendly activities.

Those desiring a more secluded experience can choose the Billiton Ekobeach Retreat, featuring exclusive Eco Beach Villas along the shore.

Tanjung Kelayang Reserve not only offers luxurious getaways but also opportunities to engage in meaningful ecological initiatives, making it a unique destination for responsible travelers.
