Banyan Tree Bintan
Bintan Island, Indonesia · Banyan Tree · High Luxury
Banyan Tree Bintan opened in 1995 as the group's first Indonesian property and only the second Banyan Tree resort in existence, perching private villas on stilts above a South China Sea hillside on Bintan Island, a 45-minute ferry from Singapore, before 'villa resort' became a standard luxury format. Bintan lies in the Riau Islands, less than fifty kilometres from Singapore's harbour, which made the resort a short ferry hop for guests from the city.
- 64 rooms

About Banyan Tree Bintan
- Banyan Tree Bintan opened in 1995 as the group's first Indonesian property and one of the earliest Banyan Tree resorts globally — its hillside stilted-villa format, designed to give every guest unobstructed sea views, predated the villa-on-stilts typology that is now ubiquitous across Asia-Pacific luxury.
- Bintan Island sits within the Riau Islands, less than 50 kilometres from Singapore's harbour; the resort therefore offers guests the unusual combination of true tropical-resort remoteness with a sub-hour sea crossing from a global hub city.
- Entry-level rooms start at 904 sq ft (84 m²).
History
Banyan Tree’s official site presents Banyan Tree Bintan as a private beach villa and golf resort, with luxury villas set on stilts above the hillside and views over the South China Sea. The resort is positioned around privacy, rainforest-and-beach scenery, and golf rather than a dated heritage building. Its dining program centers on Indonesian, Thai, and modern European cuisine plus destination dining experiences.
