Bintan Island, Indonesia, is quickly gaining recognition as a premium golf travel destination in Southeast Asia. With growing interest from international markets, the island offers a well-balanced combination of championship golf, luxury accommodation, and easy access, making it an ideal addition to golf-focused travel programs.
Bintan is home to two standout courses: Ria Bintan Golf Club, designed by Gary Player, and Laguna Golf Bintan, located within the Banyan Tree resort. Both courses feature stunning coastal views, natural forest landscapes, and expertly crafted layouts that deliver an enjoyable challenge for players of all levels.
