“Bintan Island stands out as a luxury and easily accessible travel destination from Singapore, boasting the charm of a tranquil natural environment and world-class, comprehensive facilities”

Bintan Island is the largest island in the province of Riau Islands (Kepulauan Riau), Indonesia. It is home to the large-scale tourism development area in the north known as Bintan Resorts, which focuses on premium services. The island is famous for its long stretches of fine white sand beaches and gorgeous turquoise waters, making it a leading retreat for tourists seeking tranquility and comfort.

The uniqueness of Bintan lies in the diversity of its recreational activities beyond just the sea. In addition to water activities like snorkeling, kayaking, and windsurfing, vitors can explore the spectacular Mangrove forests with organized boat tours to see the ecosystem during the day or the twinkling fireflies at night. For sports enthusiasts, the island features international-standard golf courses designed to be both challenging and scenic

The general atmosphere on Bintan Island is tranquil and highly private, especially within the resort area, offering a truly relaxing getaway. The dry season (April–October) is the ideal time to visit, as the weather is favorable for outdoor activities. A trip here provides a distinct feeling of freshness and freedom from the stresses of daily life

Bintan Island is particularly appealing to couples and honeymooners seeking a romantic and peaceful setting, as well as travelers looking for a luxurious retreat in an unspoiled environment. It is also a haven for photographers who can capture perfect shots of the sunrise and sunset over the clear water. We invite you to experience the beauty and charm of Bintan Island for yourself
