Bintan Island or Negeri Segantang Lada is an island of 1,866 square kilometer making part of the Riau Islands province of Indonesia.
Because of the strategic location in the Golden Triangle and its location close to Singapore, Bintan developed rapidly. In the last few years the island has become one of the main industrial estate and tourism destinations of Indonesia.
The main city of Bintan is Tanjung Pinang.
From Singapore (Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal) Bintan can be reached with a 45-minute ferry trip. The island of Batam is close as well.
