Your guide to the best luxury hotels on Bintan
Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach · Tourism AreaFor this guide we have put together the best hotels on Bintan: two luxury hotels – both on the same stretch of coast at Lagoi, and still two completely different stays.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
Two luxury hotels on Bintan – how to choose
The two luxury hotels on Bintan start at the Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach with 155 € a night, followed by the Banyan Tree Bintan at 235 €.
Banyan Tree BintanBoth include breakfast for two, a hotel credit of 100 US dollars with no fine print, a room upgrade subject to availability and a late check-out. And in both you earn points – in two different programmes.
There is exactly one condition. It sits precisely where it hurts.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Bintan is a weekend destination – and its only condition turns on exactly that: whether you stay one night or two.
At the Banyan Tree Bintan the suitespot benefits apply from the second night. At the Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach they apply from the first.
That is no small thing, because the ferry from Singapore takes barely an hour. Which is exactly why many people cross on Friday evening and come back on Saturday – one night. On that pattern you get the full package at the Hotel Indigo, and not yet at the Banyan Tree.
Stay two nights and the condition is gone, and both count the same: breakfast, 100 US dollars, upgrade, late check-out.
A second point hangs on the same hook: Bintan is in a different time zone from Singapore, one hour behind. Cross in the evening and you gain it; head back on Sunday and you lose it again – which is how people miss the ferry.
Our advice: tell us the number of nights first. For one night the Hotel Indigo is the clear choice, from two nights both are in play – and then what you want to look at decides.
Where to stay on Bintan: beach, rainforest or lagoon
Bintan is large, but this selection is not: both stand on the north coast at Lagoi, only a few kilometres apart. So the question is not how far you travel, but what kind of place you want – and the two could hardly be more different.
On Lagoi beach stands the Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach, the larger and the less expensive of the two, with fifteen categories. Our recommendation for anyone who wants a hotel – a front desk, a choice, and a short walk to the sand.
The Banyan Tree Bintan works differently: it carries eight categories, and all eight are villas – some in the rainforest above the bay, some right on the waterline. Our recommendation for anyone who wants a villa of their own in the green rather than a door onto a corridor.
For orientation: the ferry from Singapore arrives in the north, at Lagoi, minutes from both hotels. The island’s actual capital, Tanjung Pinang, lies in the south about an hour away – an old port town, and from there boats cross to Penyengat, the small island with the yellow sultan’s mosque. In between lie mangrove rivers where people go looking for fireflies in the evening.
Villas and suites: the best hotels on Bintan from the inside
The best hotels on Bintan offer 30 categories between them, and six of those are suites – plus the villas, which are the real currency here.
The widest choice is at the Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach with 15 categories, followed by the Banyan Tree Bintan with eight.
A note for anyone who reads names: at the Hotel Indigo every large floor area appears twice – once as a suite, once as a Room. 147, 102 and 75 square metres appear under both names. A Room of 147 square metres is larger there than some suites next door. Ask us about the floor area, not about the word.
The Banyan Tree Bintan goes the other way and relies entirely on the form: villa, in every one of its eight categories. What the names do say is where they stand – in the rainforest or on the water.
On the view each hotel has its own motif, and neither shares it with the other. The Banyan Tree is the only one with categories right on the waterline – and the Hotel Indigo the only one that also faces the garden.
Tell our travel advisors whether you want a door onto a corridor or your own path to the villa. On Bintan that is the real choice.
What a night in a luxury hotel on Bintan costs
A night in a luxury hotel on Bintan costs between 155 € and 235 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach | 155 € | 1st night |
| Banyan Tree Bintan | 235 € | 2 nights |
At the Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach the benefits apply from the first night. At the Banyan Tree Bintan they apply from the second – the only condition on this island.
When it is at its best: from April to October. That is the dry half of the year: calm water, long afternoons, evenings without rain.
When it is greenest: from November to March, the monsoon season. The sea stays warm, the rainforest is in full colour, the beaches are almost yours alone – and the showers come short and hard, usually in the afternoon.
When to book early: at Chinese New Year, during the Singapore school holidays and on long weekends. With only two hotels the coast fills up quickly.
How long to stay: two to three nights. One for the beach, one for the mangroves or the south of the island – and if you want the Banyan Tree, two at the minimum anyway.
You earn points and status in both hotels, and each belongs to a different programme: IHG One Rewards at the Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach and ALL (Accor) at the Banyan Tree Bintan.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
The ferry, hotel credit and exclusive services in a 5-star hotel
On Bintan the ferry is more than a way in – it is the reason this coast exists. Barely an hour from Singapore, and you are in another country, another time zone and another volume. The boats arrive in the north, minutes from both hotels.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comWhat comes after that depends on how far you want to go. The mangrove rivers begin just behind the resorts, and in the evening the fireflies stand in the trees along them. An hour to the south lies Tanjung Pinang, the port town, and just off it the small island of Penyengat with its yellow nineteenth-century mosque.
That is what the hotel credit is for, and you get it at both: 100 US dollars, the same amount everywhere and – remarkably for this guide – without a single footnote. No rate condition, no suite tier, no either-or. On an island where you eat at the hotel in the evening because the nearest alternative is a drive away, that is the most easily redeemed benefit in this whole guide.
What our travel advisors arrange most often beyond that: the ferry and the transfer – the crossings are limited and in demand at weekends – and the late check-out, which both grant. With a Sunday evening crossing, the room until mid-afternoon is worth more than any upgrade.
And then there are the things that always come with it: the room upgrade subject to availability and breakfast for two at both. At the Banyan Tree Bintan a welcome gift comes on top.
