Singapore has the pick of the bunch where weekend getaways are concerned. Surrounded by Malaysia and Indonesia, one need only head north for the bustling streets of Johor Bahru or south for a blissful trip to Bintan Island. Situated along Bintan’s northern coast sits Mövenpick Resort & Spa Bintan Lagoon, the island’s newest beachfront property. It officially opened its doors in August, offering an expansive mix of seaside activities, continental dining and wellness experiences for guests of all ages.
As the saying goes, go big or go home. The resort accommodates 408 rooms, each with a private balcony that overlooks the sea. It also has unrestricted access to the longest beach on the island, accompanied by three swimming pools that lead to the two-storey Soñada, Bintan’s largest beach club. Golf enthusiasts can play two nearby 18-hole courses designed by renowned former pros Jack Nicklaus and Ian Baker-Finch.
Days effortlessly unfold amid the comprehensive amenities on offer at Mövenpick. Active guests can delight in the Recreation Village, which brings fitness, sports, and family-friendly pursuits under one roof, while younger travellers can explore the Little Birds Club play areas and engage in arts and crafts workshops. When it is time to unwind, the island’s exclusive Japanese-onsen-inspired spa provides a serene retreat to soak away the hours, indulge in a soothing steam room or reflexology session, or choose from a menu of massage rituals rooted in age-old Indonesian traditions.
For food-obsessed Singaporeans, there is no shortage of culinary options here. Port 19, the all-day dining restaurant, serves a cornucopia of local and continental cuisine. For a refined menu, Yokatta Izakaya & Bar offers classic Japanese fare in an intimate setting, while Soñada provides cocktails and bar bites alongside weekend DJ sets. With an array of experiences set against an idyllic coastline, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Bintan Lagoon offers an unforgettable escape across generations.
