Nestled on an island steeped in maritime heritage, Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach captures the essence of Bintan and the Riau Islands’ storied past as a vital trading port along the ancient spice route, and as a hub of local seafaring life. Just a 60-minute ferry ride from Singapore, the hotel draws inspiration from traditional kelong – floating wooden fishing platforms. Dramatic wooden structures over reflective ponds and nautical accents such as block-and-tackle pulleys and embedded regional maps transport guests to a bygone era.
Bintan has been known for its coastal landscapes, be it its pristine beaches or the verdant forests on its hills. Discover the island by hiking through its greenery, visiting traditional fishing villages, and indulge in a slow living from one of the island’s many sundown spots.
