Luxury tourism development on Bintan Island

Overview

Bintan Island and the Riau Archipelago in Indonesia are developing into a significant luxury tourism hub in Southeast Asia. The region, traditionally a weekend destination for Singaporean residents, is attracting increased investment from international hotel groups.

Specific developments include the expansion of private island escapes such as Nikoi Private Island and Cempedak. New additions to the northern coast include the Movenpick Resort & Spa Bintan Lagoon and the Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach.

In line with these regional trends, Club Med has completed a major transformation phase at its Bintan Island resort. This renovation focuses on upscale amenities and family-oriented experiences, including redesigned accommodations, a new Splash Pad, and the ‘Amazing Family! Hub’. The project also incorporates sustainability measures such as food waste reduction and a turtle conservation program.
