As Indian outbound travel matures, traveller expectations are shifting from single-focus holidays to
integrated journeys that blend rest, activity, nature and flexibility within a short timeframe. Increasingly,
Indian travellers are looking for destinations that allow different travel styles to coexist within one trip,
without logistical complexity or long internal transfers.
Bintan Resorts is responding to this shift by positioning itself as an integrated short-haul destination
that caters to solo travellers, couples and families within a single, connected experience. Located just
a one-hour ferry ride from Singapore, Bintan combines ease of access with layered experiences,
making it particularly relevant for Indian travellers seeking efficient yet meaningful international travel
in 2026.

Bintan offers nature-led and active experiences that are easy to access and low on complexity. Early-
morning cycling routes through the Lagoi area, guided mangrove explorations, forest hikes around
Mount Bintan and structured ATV and UTV experiences along designated off-road circuits allow
solo travellers to explore beyond the beach while maintaining a relaxed pace.
These experiences appeal to independent travellers seeking movement, nature and personal time, without the intensity of fast-paced itineraries or long-distance travel within the destination.
For couples, Bintan lends itself naturally to slow, shared experiences. Long beach walks, calm water
activities at Crystal Lagoon, sunset views and evening strolls along Lagoi Bay shape unhurried itineraries suited for micro-moons, celebrations and short escapes.
Crystal Lagoon, Southeast Asia’s largest man-made seawater lagoon, offers expansive space for water- based activities in a setting that feels open and relaxed, allowing couples to enjoy shared moments without crowded schedules or constant movement.
Families benefit from Bintan’s compact layout, where beaches, lagoons, nature experiences and leisure activities are located close to one another. Shallow lagoon areas, open beach spaces and guided activities allow different age groups to participate at their own pace, while still spending meaningful time together.
The ability to balance rest, play and exploration without long transfers or over- structured days makes Bintan particularly appealing for multi-generational Indian family travel.
As Indian travellers increasingly build regional itineraries via Singapore, destinations that complement the gateway experience while offering contrast, calm and variety are gaining relevance. Bintan’s accessibility also allows travellers to seamlessly combine it with Singapore and where applicable, Malaysia, benefiting from regional visa exemptions and creating multi-destination value within a single trip.
By bringing together nature, activity, relaxation and ease of access within one connected destination, Bintan Resorts reflects the integrated travel mindset shaping Indian outbound travel in 2026. Its ability to offer choice without complexity positions it as a compelling short-haul option for travellers seeking flexibility, depth and balance within a single journey
