Bintan Resorts

Bintan Resorts is the name for a resort enclave occupying the northern area of the Indonesian island of Bintan. It consists of nine resorts, plus a small service apartment development.

Although the area is within Indonesian territory, the island is marketed at residents from nearby Singapore, for whom Bintan is a short ferry trip away. The development received 410,454 visitors in 2009, of which the largest proportion, almost 30% were Singaporean.

The area is generally a short-stay destination, with 90% of visitors staying less than seven days.

Transport

Bintan Resorts has its own ferry terminal, serving only Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore.

Bintan Resorts is separated from the rest of Bintan by a barbed wire fence, and land access to the rest of the land is via a single security checkpoint (Post 1 checkpoint).

Most resorts offer free shuttle bus services to and fro the ferry terminal.
