Destination wellness resort Chiva-Som has announced its plans to open its first location outside of Thailand, in Bintan, Indonesia and its first residence brand. Plans are still in the design stage and an opening date has not yet been announced.

Chiva-Som Bintan will be located within the wider Treasure Bay Bintan development on the Indonesian island and will be approximately 25 hectares when completed.

The luxury health retreat will house a 70-bedroom wellness hotel, a wellness centre and 34 luxury villas ranging in size from one to five bedrooms. The residences will have access to the resort’s spa facility, and owners will have the ability to work with Chiva-Som’s staff to create longevity programmes and customised wellness packages.
