Hotels in Bintan Island, Indonesia

Bintan Island is a tropical getaway just a 45-minute ferry from Singapore, famous for its white-sand beaches and world-class golf courses. The climate stays hot year-round, averaging 80°F (27°C), so you can kayak through the mangrove forests of Tanjung Pinang in the drier months from February to April, or explore the 18th-century Penyengat Island's royal tombs and mosques during the wetter season from November to January when crowds thin out. If you're after nightlife, head to Lagoi Bay for beachfront bars, while the northern coast offers calm waters perfect for stand-up paddleboarding in the South China Sea.
