" Nikoi Island is barefoot luxury writ large; this laid-back, secluded getaway offers an abundance of pristine natural wonders and wildlife encounters. Ringed with white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters and coral reefs, and blessed with a rainforest teeming with birds, this tiny island offers the ultimate Robinson Crusoe experience. "

" Nothing better really, if you're not a fan of the cookie cutter big, noisy and crowded beach resorts. "

" We were there just for a weekend but it was a truly great experience. Having done many of the islands around Singapore (Batu-Batu, Rawa, Tioman, Sipadan) Nikoi was awesome. Great service, delicious food and great water sports and accommodation. Totally recommended! More for families than couples though since there were lots of families with kids and could be a bit annoying if you just want to have couple time. "

" Had the most amazing 3D2N trip to the beautiful Nikoi in Aug2017. Read many good reviews about this place and it truly didn’t disappoint. We were quite reluctant to leave on the final day. 3 days was definitely not enough!
11 September 2017Upon arriving at the island, we were greeted at the jetty and ushered to the check-in area, a short walk thru a nice shaded tree-lined path towards the old bar. Served with a cold towel and a glass of iced nutmeg drink to cool off. A smiley Mei Mei helped us with the registration procedure - informed us our villa number, handed a printed map to locate the unit and briefed on the meals timing, activities, filled up an online form and had our passports details taken down. No key-cards were given, so we strolled along the tree lined and sandy path over to our unit.
The 1 bedroom villa was spacious and well planned, with the room on the upper floor and a lounging area on the lower level. Imagine going to bed and waking up to the soothing sound of the waves. The bed is positioned right in the middle of the room, we had a fantastic view of the blue waters in the morning. My favourite spot was the swing bed. Couldn’t imagine staying at the beach without air-conditioning but the lovely sea breeze made up for it. Just above the bed (inside the mozzie net), you’ll find a small fan that does its job to cool you down. The villas are fitted with all the necessary basic amenities you’d need, a safety box to lock in your valuables, British socket points, bath & hand towels, shower gel, shampoo/conditioner and body lotion that smells great – has a soothing citronella fragrance that will help keep the mozzies away. But if you’re prone to attracting mozzies, do bring along insect repellent/mozzie patch. In the evenings during the turn down service, a mosquito coil will be placed under the bed.
Soft clean sand-lined beach – their bar and dining areas have a sand covered flooring, giving that feeling like you’re having your meals at the beach. Remember to bring your flipflops or go barefoot if you like. Sections of the beach can be rather rocky and lined with small washed-up corals so may be painful to step on, just check around the area to find your best swimming spot. You can find lots to do on this island, taking a dip at the pool, catch a snooze on the hammock, take a walk thru the trail and explore the island (30mins) take a dip at the pool, sun bathe, or approach the staff at the beach to try out the various beach sport such as kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkelling, sailing on the small catamaran, jumping off the floating trampoline, rock climbing, fishing (the best part is these are all included in your full board charge).
Daily 3 course set meals, food was absolutely delicious (thank you Chef!). At the end of your meal, the dining staff would brief you on the menu for the next meal (daily menus are display on chalkboards at the dining hall). I appreciated the fact that they have 2 separate dining areas – one for families with young kids and another for adults only. The main bar and pool side bar serves drinks on order as well as iced water upon request, feel free to help yourselves to some complimentary local chips, bananas and occasional cookies if you feel like snacking.
It was great to see some behind the scenes view of the various sustainable initiatives being practiced on the island (use of solar panels, waste compost, rain water collection points, fruit & herb garden). Don't be surprised to meet a few of Nikoi's resident monitor lizards out on a stroll, there's even a turtle hatching area too.
I would like to extend a special thanks to Pak Marjan, Pak Yogi, Mei Mei, Agus, Leon, Yudi, Ega, Kiki, Pipin & Bayu – thank you for the wonderful conversations and for making our stay a pleasantly memorable one. "

" Beautiful resort island. Great food served as part of the package. Drinks are great too. And service is amazing.
25 June 2017BUT THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY KIDS. Everywhere. All the time. Why are they running around the bar at night - when everyone else is trying to have an alcoholic beverage??? Counted 21 (TWENTY ONE) children on the island when I was here. There are ONLY 15 villas. That is A LOT of families.
Nikoi is great if you want to bring the family; really frustrating if you simply want to get away and have some downtime with a significant other. If you want peace and quiet, go elsewhere.
They do try to keep the kids occupied and separate - kids club, different dining areas for couples vs families. But all that said, it is a very small island... "

" What a wonderful place... We arrived for 4 nights stay on a very hot and windless day and I was afraid the lack of air-con would be the end of more-accustomed-to-30-below-than-above Nordic soul - it didn't. The fans in the room did the job and it was nice to live without air-con for a change.
25 January 2017Nikoi is a very peaceful place and and - with ample space - it was also very privat - no queuing for food or water toys. We made good use of most facilities. Sailboats were in good order, the spa was excellent, the food was generally great - I loved the small portions (staff always asked if you wanted seconds) - and the staff was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.
The staff was one of the better we have experienced. They seemed like a big family and only after a few days they even felt like friends. The personell policy at this island seems to really work well. Thank you Emelda, Nia, Harley, Yogi, Copral all the rest of you for making our stay so memorable.
We will certainly be back! "

" Made for an interesting visit and was fortunate enough to have a friend whom owns a yacht and we stopped off here whilst touring the area.
13 June 2016Drinks at the bar was good and we were able to enjoy good weather and not a busy period. Food and service was good though we only moored and were staying on the boat
Very nice and private resort and have recommended to various friends / acquaintances who live/work in Singapore to check the resort out for a break "

" Very laid back and quiet. Incredible staff. Family friendly or good for a couples getaway. Good amount of activities between Scuba, sailing and windsurfing, paddle boarding, walking trails and grass court tennis. Lots of wildlife. Great set menu meals. Fantastic for a low key relaxed getaway. "
