Tree Bintan
Rustic tropical luxury with serious seclusion. Think Balinese-meets-Riau island aesthetic — dark woods, high ceilings, hillside stilts. No high-rises, no crowds. The remoteness from Bintan city (60 km away) means you're genuinely cut off from the outside world.
Book the Oceanview Infinity Pool Villa (400 sqm) if budget allows — it's a different league from the entry-level villas at nearly 4x the size.
Why It Matters
Bintan's only all-villa resort with every unit featuring a private pool. It holds EarthCheck Gold certification and runs an active Conservation Lab founded in 2007 for threatened species. The spa is one of the most award-laden in Southeast Asia. The Laguna Golf Bintan 18-hole par-72 course — 60 hectares winding through wetlands and beachfront coconut groves — is a rare find for a beach resort.
Banyan Tree Bintan is Bintan Island's only all-villa resort, sitting inside the Laguna Bintan resort complex on a hillside above the South China Sea. Every villa is raised on stilts and decorated in traditional Balinese style — private pools, sea views, ancient rainforest behind you. Getting here from Singapore takes about an hour by ferry from Tanah Merah Terminal, which is half the reason Singaporeans treat this place like their personal weekend escape. Average nightly rate runs around USD 450, before the 10% service charge and 11% government tax.
