Batam

An industrial and resort island city right next to Singapore, about an hour away by ferry, known for seafood, golf and the Barelang Bridge.

Batam lies in the Riau Islands Province, facing Singapore across the Singapore Strait, and is an important industrial and free-trade zone in Indonesia. The island has resorts, golf courses, spas and shopping malls, and its seafood restaurants are especially popular; the Barelang Bridge, linking the islands of Batam, Rempang and Galang, is an iconic sight. Because it is so close, many visitors come on short trips by ferry from Singapore. The climate is hot and humid all year, so it can be visited at any time. You can travel back and forth via the ferry terminals in Singapore, or fly into Hang Nadim International Airport.
