The Belitung Archipelago carries a calm presence where granite rocks rise from clear waters and islands stretch across wide horizons. The scenery unfolds slowly and invites travellers to move at an unhurried pace. Within this setting, Tanjung Kelayang Reserve grows with a vision of return and familiarity. Its guiding idea, Connect to Reconnect, reflects a way of travel where presence shapes perspective and each visit uncovers new meaning.

Accessing this sanctuary becomes effortless on 3 May 2026, as Scoot launches one-hour direct flights from Singapore. These twice-weekly morning services provide a seamless link to a destination where the natural environment defines the daily flow. To welcome these morning arrivals, Tanjung Kelayang Reserve offers early check-in, breakfast, and seamless transfers for an immediate start to the island experience.

Spanning 350 hectares within a UNESCO Global Geopark, the Reserve maintains a rigorous commitment to environmental balance, with over half the land strictly protected. This clarity of vision guides the entire guest experience and is anchored by the Sheraton Belitung Resort, which brings a standard of premium hospitality to the island. Here, preservation is not treated as a backdrop but as the foundation of how the Reserve continues to grow.

Belitung offers experiences that extend beyond its landscapes. On 21 June 2026 the island hosts Gran Fondo New York Indonesia with cycling routes that trace coastal roads and open horizons. Local traditions continue to thrive at Warung Kopi Ake founded in 1911 where coffee culture remains a daily ritual and stories pass through generations. Similarly, Sepiak Belitong translates the island’s identity into craft, using textiles inspired by simpor leaves to connect travelers with community creativity.

The island now opens as a gateway for longer stays and return journeys, inviting travellers to engage more deeply with its landscapes and communities. Tanjung Kelayang Reserve embodies this vision, presenting Belitung as a place that always rooted in its natural and cultural identity.
