Bintan, Indonesia
Just beyond Singapore, Bintan unfolds as an island of beaches, wetlands, and quiet villages in the Riau archipelago. Glide through the mangrove forests of the Sebung River, visit traditional fishing communities along the coast, or explore the serene shores of Trikora Beach. Inland, lagoons and temple sites emerge along forested paths, while palm-lined coves invite swimming and slow walks shaped by the tide and light.
