Bintan Island

Indonesia, Philippines

Bintan Island is the largest island in Indonesia's Riau Archipelago, located in the Riau Islands province with an area of approximately 1,170 square kilometers and a 105-km coastline.

Just an hour's ferry ride from Singapore across the Singapore Strait, it features a tropical climate, rolling topography, and predominantly rural landscapes with luxury resorts concentrated on the northwest coast around Lagoi Bay, including beaches, golf courses, and water sports.

Tanjung Pinang serves as the main city in the south, blending Malay, Bugis, Chinese, and Orang Laut cultures amid former rainforests now mostly cleared except on Bintan Besar mountain (376 meters), drawing over 350,000 tourists yearly for pristine sands, diving, and eco-adventures.

The island's administrative Bintan Regency promotes it as Indonesia's next top destination after Bali, with unspoiled east coast areas contrasting developed tourist hubs.
