Indonesia Bintan Island
Bintan Island is the largest island in the Indonesian archipelago. As early as the 15th century, Binh Dain was mentioned in the records of Zheng Hes voyages to the West. Due to its proximity to Singapore, it takes only 45 minutes by ferry to be used as a back garden for Singaporeans.
Because the geographical location is close to the equator, Bintan Island is sunny all year round, with an average annual temperature of around 26 degrees. The sea is clear and blue, the beach is white, the ocean is rich, and there are tropical mangroves.
This is the reason why I chose to go to Bintan Island. If there is a friend who wants to cross from Singapore to Bintan Island, the blogger suggests that the island stays for one night. Dan Island is worth two days and one night.

Recommended Indonesian Bintan Island Angsana Hotel
In fact, Bintan Island is positioned as a high-end vacation + golf. Because it is only 50 minutes by ferry from Singapore, it also attracts a lot of golf enthusiasts.
It is the right choice to find a luxury hotel on Bintan Island. This time, we chose the Angsana Hotel under the Banyan Tree Group. Of course, the hotel also provides golf services, as well as mountain biking, turtles, and forest walks.
