By DestinAsian - May 10, 2021 For travel-starved Singapore residents, the Cenizaro brandâs Indonesian outpost may be just the place to spend a long weekend once borders reopen. A one-bedroom Beachfront villa at The Residence Bintan. (All photos courtesy of the resort) Why You Should Go A scenic 80-minute transfer from the high-speed ferry terminal at Bandar Bentan Telani, this expansive retreat is all about relaxed sophistication on the eastern shores of Bintan. (For domestic travelers, the resort is under an hourâs drive from the airport serving the nearby city of Tanjung Pinang.) It also makes an excellent jumping-off point for exploring the lesser-known sights of the Indonesian islandâs more populous southern half. The Residence Bintan spans 70 hectares of landscaped grounds carpeted in grass and beach cabbage, with swaying coconut palms and beachfront villas facing a private stretch of powdery sand.
