Lagoi Bay (Bintan Resorts)
Lagoi
A gated resort area on the north coast of Bintan, where luxury hotels and all-inclusive resorts line a white-sand bay. It is a favourite weekend escape for Singaporeans.
Lagoi is the heart of the Bintan Resorts, developed in partnership with Singapore since the 1990s. It covers about 23,000 hectares of the north coast and includes more than a dozen resort hotels, among them Banyan Tree, Club Med, Nirwana Gardens, Pullman and Anantara, as well as several golf courses designed by well-known architects. The beaches face the South China Sea, with fine sand and shallow water, making them good for family swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, jet skiing and ATV beach rides. All-inclusive hotels such as Club Med, which include three meals and most activities, offer good value. Around Lagoi Bay you will find an artificial lake, the Plaza Lagoi shopping centre and a small night market serving affordable Indonesian food. Getting there: a ferry from Singapore's Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal takes about 1 hour to Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal, followed by a hotel shuttle of 10–20 minutes. Note: prices within the resort are often quoted in Singapore dollars. Waves are rough during the northeast monsoon (November–February), when some water activities are suspended. Taxis are scarce inside the resort, so rely on hotel shuttles and plan ahead.
