spend 26.000 miles with SQ, where to go?

[Saudade]

Selamat pagi! apa kabar?
I know is no much, but we have 26.000 miles (from Denpasar) to spend with SA and I am wondering where we could go and if you have some advices, probably looking for relax and beautiful beaches.
These are the places I am thinking about

1. Manado-Bunaken
2. Flying to Singapore and go to Tioman island in Malaysia
3. Flying to Singapore and go to some islands close to Singapore
4. Going to Belitung

Any recommendations please? we are planning to spend the less posible
Terimakasi
Have a beautiful day

I hope you mean SQ and not South African Airways?

For beach-only Kapas or Belitung are somewhat similar. I would let it depend on hotel and travel time then.

 

[Saudade]

hahaha sorry sorry I always confuse! I already deleted Kapas, it is too far, it should be Tioman.
By the way I have just read why is SQ, was curious about the Q and why no SA!

To Kuala Lumpur cost you 17.000 miles. See

yes you are right, but we have been already in Singapore, KL, Penang, Langkawi and looking for another places to go, it seem there is a few islands on the south of Singapore, I wonder if it would be worthy.
Even Pulau Seribu!
Part of the miles will expire if I don´t spend them

Fly to Manado, go to Bangka Island, Siladen Island or Lembeh Island , not Bunaken.
Both Siladen Resort & Spa and Lembeh Resort offer high quality accommodation and food. They are my favorite respectively in Pulau Siladen and Pulau Lembeh.
Coral Eye Marine Outpost, the Siladen Resort & Spa new partner on Pul;au Bangka, has one of the best beach in North Sulawesi, great food and nice new Villas. I was there a week ago and definitely recommend the place.

Bangka island .. visit the tin mines while you're there ..

Devastating tin mining goes offshore in Bangka Island

Tin mining has caused devastating damage to Bangka Island. Now it is leaving a trail of destruction as it targets the surrounding Java Sea

Wonderful beaches, there and Selayar. This time of year though is plastic season on the east coast beaches.

If you want to head to Malaysia, the Perhentians are highly recommended.

Just to avoid confusion for readers, the link you pasted is about pulau Bangka Belitung, off the Sumatran coast, nothing to do with the Pulau Bangka I refer to in the post just above yours, which is in North Sulawesi

Exactly. Angelique & Danny's Murex Resorts are also a good alternative with their two resorts (one on mainland in Kalasey, south of Manado and the other in Pulau Bangka).
Murex also owns Critters@lembeh which is the in-house dive center of Lembeh Resort.

The tin mines are terrible but I did have a lovely trip to belitung last year. I stayed at the sheraton which is lovely (its quiet - if you are looking for a busy place dont go there).
Hired my own motorbike and explored. Took a boat ride to visit the sights (don't take the hotel boat ride - you can organize one yourself for a fraction of the cost and have your own boat).

I also love manado and not just for bunaken - the hinderlands there are lovely and very easily accessible from Manado - incredible wildlife spotting.

If you go to Manado you have to visit the lost Moderator of Atlantis lol
