[2024 Bintan Attraction] Travel Guide for Bintan Island (Updated Oct)

This is Blue Lake Bintan 🇮🇩

#islandtour Tucked away on the enchanting island of Bintan, Blue Lake offers a stunning oasis of calm and strikingly vivid colors. Known locally as 'Danau Biru,' the lake is not only a visual delight but also a popular spot for those looking to escape the bustling tourist paths and enjoy a quiet, contemplative environment. Vibrant Waters in a Tranquil Setting Blue Lake is famed for its mesmerizing, bright blue waters, a natural phenomenon resulting from the mineral content in the lake. Surrounded by the lush greenery of Bintan's tropical landscape, the contrast between the vibrant blue of the lake and the verdant greens of the forest creates a breathtaking visual palette that feels almost surreal. Perfect for Photography and Relaxation The surreal beauty of Blue Lake makes it a prime location for photography enthusiasts. The unique color of the water serves as a perfect backdrop for stunning photographs, while the serene atmosphere provides a peaceful setting for picnics or simply relaxing by the water's edge. It’s an ideal spot for meditation or spending a quiet afternoon with a book. Visitor Tips - Accessibility: Blue Lake is relatively accessible by car or taxi from most major areas of Bintan. However, the last stretch of the road may be rough, so a vehicle suitable for rugged terrain is recommended. - Best Time to Visit: The lake is most picturesque under the bright sun, which enhances the vivid blue of the water. Early mornings or late afternoons are perfect for avoiding the glare and enjoying cooler temperatures. - Safety Precautions: While the lake is safe for visiting, swimming is not recommended due to the unknown depth and mineral content of the water. Always stay cautious and enjoy the view from the shores. #BlueLakeBintan #DanauBiru #BintanGem #NaturePhotography #PeacefulRetreat

DIY Sight-seeing in Bintan Island

Part of my birthday staycation in Bintan last April, we dedicated a chunk of our 2nd day going around tourist spots of our liking. I booked a private car charter for 6 hours and it costed us around 80sgd including tips for the driver. Knowing that our accommodation is far from the usual tourist spots, we decided to start the day early by leaving right after breakfast. The driver picked us up and off we went to our first location, which was 500 Lohan Temple. The driver accompanied us inside the temple and helped us pay for the entrance ticket. There were not many people as it was still early, and it was hot! Our driver also helped took photos of me and my sister together. The temple was interesting as it featured 500 life-size statues with different facial expressions. Second location is Gurun Pasir Bintan aka as Bintan Desert and Blue Lake. This place was amazing! The very vibrant colour of the blue lake against the white sandy hills was so pretty. There are several activities available to do here. This was our favourite place. Lots of photo ops here with our driver offering to take photos of us again. Look for the 2D animals in the sandy hills haha! It can get very hot though so please be hydrated when visiting. There are many food and drink stalls here so don’t fret. The driver took us to a stall that sells coconut juice, sat, drank, and rested for a bit. Last location is Trikora beach. According to reviews, this beach boasts of white sand and clear blue water. Both were true but my issue was that the shore was dirty. We didn’t know if it was just that part of the shore since it’s a long stretch. It was still very pretty though. It was the beachfront of the restaurant Pizza Casa Italia where we had our late lunch. This restaurant has very good reviews which convinced me to try when we visit Bintan. We noticed there were more local families eating here and having a get-together than tourists. We loved the pizza, it was so filling even though it’s thin crust and tasted delicious. We enjoyed our lunch especially with the beach as the view. The driver dropped us off in our hotel before the supposed 6-hour charter because we arrived early. Still wasn’t an issue since we were very tired and hot due to the weather. We paid, tipped our driver and thanked him, officially ending our DIY tour. Featured in the photos are: 1-2. Bintan Desert & Blue Lake 3-4. 500 Lohan Temple 5. Trikora Beach 6.

Bluest Water in Bintan Blue Lake

#bintan Bintan Blue Lake is a lake located on Bintan Island, Riau Archipelago, Indonesia. This lake is located at an altitude of about 600 meters above sea level and offers beautiful views. Bintan Blue Lake holds clear water with an amazing blue color. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom of the lake clearly. This lake also has various types of fish that can be caught. Around the lake, there are various types of plants and trees that make this lake look very beautiful. Bintan Blue Lake also offers a variety of water activities such as swimming, kayaking and fishing. Travel tips: 1. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, as the terrain is quite hilly and you may have to walk quite a bit. 2. Bring plenty of water and snacks to keep you hydrated and energized throughout the day. 3. Bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. 4. Make sure you have a map of the area, as the trails can be confusing and it’s easy to get lost. 5.

Exotic Senggiling Beach in Bintan

#bintan Senggiling beach is located in Bintan Island, 45 km from the capital city Tanjungpinang. You will have to travel around 1~1.5 hours to reach this beautiful beach. The water is very blue and clear and since not many people know about this beach yet, the atmosphere is very quiet and relaxing. The beach is also still very clean and the sand is super soft. Senggiling beach is really suitable for one who wants a peaceful leisure time. I saw some people go camping and bring tent here! So it's also an option for you who are adventerous to go camping at the beach. Travel tips: 1.The wave in senggiling beach is very weak most of the times, but still, be careful when swimming since the wind can be quite strong sometimes. 2. No bathroom here, so please be prepared! 3.I think it is better if you could bring local friend or people who know the beach very well, since it is located quite far from the city center, and the access might be difficult if you are not familiar with the route. 4. The entrance fee for this beach is IDR8000/person (around USD 0.53) #beach

Hidden Gem at Bintan Indah Mall

Address: Bintan Indah Mall, Tanjungpinang Kota, Tanjung Pinang Kota, Tanjung Pinang City, Riau Islands, Indonesia A rundown mall a couple minutes walk from Tanjung Pinang Harbour. We were starving after a long ride from Singapore, and we stumbled across this local foodcourt while trying to escape the taxi drivers. Right at the enterance of the mall sits a small food court selling local delights like mee siam, laksa, soto ayam, fresh juice and more! The prices ranges from 25k-35k. We ordered:- 1. Fish noodle soup 8/10 - the noodle was tasteless but the soup was very tasty! It contains fishball, fishcakes amd fish paste bitter gourd. The portion was generous too! 2. Soto ayam 6/10 - very heavy on msg! It tasted like mee goreng with soto ayam meggi soup. It's one of the popular dish there but I would give it pass if you're not an msg fan! Overall a nice local experience I would give it a try if you're in the area.

A bustling city-escape to a beautiful Island

One of the picturesque tourist attractions in the Island which is found in Bintan,Indonesia is a desert-like white sand dune with its beautiful cystal clear blue lake. This was once a huge crater in a relinquished mining site. However, as time elapses, it began to gradually fill with rainwater that slowly becomes a post-apocalyptic oasis in the middle of the desert. It was really a wonderful experience. No regrets coming there. Worth travelling. #passionpassport#bucketlistreboot#tripblazers#gooutside#staycation#urbanexplorer#awesomepic#summervacation#bintan#indonesia_photography#island Travel#tripcom#travel_2022

Part of the Nirwana Gardens complex that comprises five hotels, the Nirwana Resort Hotel is a fun option that attracts many families. The beachfront grounds are lovely, studded with tall palms that loom over well maintained green lawns and water features like lotus leaf-dotted ponds. Architecture consists of three-story buildings with peaked roofs. The functional interiors are lackluster, though the partially open-air nature of most public spaces makes them feel breezy and pleasant. The resort is a solid choice for vacationers seeking a beachy getaway, especially families with kids -- though couples stay here as well. Tourists in search of something more tranquil might want to take a look at the other properties in the Nirwana Gardens complex, some of which offer villas and a more private feel. #createwithtrip #staycation

The aptly named Mayang Sari Beach Resort -- "mayang" means palm blossom and "sari" means flower essence in Indonesian -- is a beachside property that's part of the Nirwana Gardens complex, which comprises five total hotels. This hotel has a bit of a rustic vibe, exemplified by the its wooden chalets, though interior updates have rooms feeling contemporary and attractive. Unfortunately, the the lobby and on-site Spice Restaurant are more traditional and could use a refresh. Some past guests have complained of minor maintenance issues and evident wear. While the resort’s facilities are a bit limited, visitors can access all features at the other Nirwana Gardens hotels. Due to its tranquil setting, the resort is a favorite with couples, many enjoying a weekend away from Singapore, although families can also be seen on the palm-fringed beach. #createwithtrip #staycation

Located on the remote eastern coast, the Bintan Spa Villa Beach Resort is around an hour’s drive from the pier, but largely considered by past guests as worth the effort for those seeking a quiet escape. Featuring just 31 rooms, visitors are greeted at the on-site restaurant, which doubles as reception. While the property’s rooms and public areas are sparsely decorated, most guests stay at the resort to enjoy one of the suites or villas built directly above water (the rooms are located in a three-story building). Unfortunately, the sea in front of the resort is not swimmable. The resort appeals to couples and families enjoying quick getaways from Singapore. #staycation #createwithtrip

The island is located on the northern side of Indonesia, a little under Singapore. Because the island is right next to Singapore, she is a privileged destination among its inhabitants for a quick getaway. Activities include: nautical sports, golfing, farniente and luxury hotels on white sand beaches and turquoise waters. If you’re looking for farniente vacationing, staying & eating at the hotel and occasionally leaving for a little adventure, this is the place to be. But, if you’re looking for Indonesian authenticity, it is not. Bintan island is divided into two parts: on the northern side of the island you’ll find all the luxury resorts, protected by a “border” with guards. The precisely cut fluorescent green grass will quickly tell you the level of luxury this part of the island has. The other part offers a little different scenery, more typically Indonesian, with little villages on stilts that are worth the visit as well! #createwithtrip

Trikora Beach

The main tourist destination on Bintan Island, from the direction of the Sri Bintan Pura Harbor and Raja Haji Fisabilillah Airport in Tanjungpinang, you will be treated to the atmosphere of the white sandy coast typical of Trikora Beach. From downtown Tanjungpinang, this beach is about 45 kilometers. The length reaches 25 kilometers and is divided into four parts, namely Trikora 1, Trikora 2, Trikora 3 and Trikora 4. At the beginning of Trikora Beach, there are no hotels or similar accommodations. So seeing this beach feels loose, there is no barrier. However, at Trikora 3 and Trikora 4 beaches, hotels are lined up on the beach. Generally also cleaner because the beach is managed by the hotel management. At Trikora 3 and Trikora 4 beaches, the beach is also decorated with large granite stones. There is even this type of stone that is far into the middle of the sea. It makes your photos even more beautiful. #beaches

Bintan resort you'll surely come back for!

My sister and I stayed at The Residence Bintan for 3D2N for my birthday celebration last April. We stayed at the Upper Sea View Suite. Everything from that trip was perfect. My only gripe was that we wished we could have stayed longer. The resort's location is secluded perfect for that much needed break from work. This would require 1.5 hrs. of travel from the ferry terminal, we did not mind though as we just slept thru the whole free shuttle ride with free cookies, water, & cold towel. Once arrived, we were just in awe of the breathtaking views everywhere in the resort. Check-in was relatively smooth and easy. A miniscule gripe for me was that we weren't offered the welcome drinks as we step in the lobby and wait for someone to check us in, unlike the other guests that arrived with us. Doesn't really diminish the overall satisfaction with the service and our stay though. Reception staff were very friendly. We were eventually offered the drinks when I walked up to the counter and did the check-in. Our suite was very spacious & beautifully designed. I enjoyed the hammock and the tub. The sunrise and sunset view from the outside deck was very pretty. The suite also comes with 2 bicycles for you to use as the resort is really massive. We did not use it though since we didn't know how to ride bikes haha. Instead, we used the free buggy service a lot of times. There were a lot of complimentary activities but what I really enjoyed was the private beach especially during low tide. View from the pool is crazy! Food and drinks were good. We tried all the dining options available. Breakfast spread was good! We dined at Rica Rica, food was great! 5 stars! We dined at the Dining Room, food was also good. The drinks at the pool bar were also nice, + points for the live music! Rimbun grill buffet was definitely worth it. The setting was very whimsical with fairy lights dining by the sea at night. We also tried the afternoon tea they offered. The staff also delivers fruit and snacks to our suite. Yum! I really want to commend the service. Staff were all smiles and very friendly. My introvert self took a step back and just enjoyed the small talks and greetings from the staff. Will definitely be back and try other accommodation options! 😍 #privatebeach #bintanresorts #bintan #indonesia #infinitypool #relax #escape #vacation #freehotelstay
