GOOD THINGS COME to those who wait and this couldn't be more true when it comes to The Residence Bintan.
Like other resorts on the Indonesian island, it's just an hour by ferry from Singapore. But unlike those which are a mere five to 10 minute ride from the Banda Bentan Telani (BBT) ferry terminal, The Residence Bintan is a good 80-minute drive right to the southeastern shore of the island. Your urgent need to sink your toes into the sand will just have to wait.
But what's the rush? Sit back and enjoy the scenic ride, which takes you across rivers and past kampungs at their unspoilt best.
