Description
The Banyan Tree is located on the Indonesian island of Bintan where beautiful bays are dotted with coconut trees backed by ancient forest. The island is a convenient 45 minute ferry ride from Singapore and yet a world apart from the hustle and bustle of one of Asia's busiest crossroads.
The 61 villas are modelled on traditional Balinese architecture with dark woods and elegant furnishings, all hidden amongst the dense vegetation of the lush tropical rainforest. The resort’s Jacuzzi Villas have jacuzzis built into their sundecks whilst the Pool Villas have their own swimming pools and private dining areas.
When not dining in the luxurious surroundings of your villa, enjoy the contemporary Thai and Indonesian cuisine at Saffron or al fresco Mediterranean flavours on the deck at The Cove or a private dinner dramatically set up on the rocks by the ocean. The culinary choices are abundant at the Banyan Tree with a wide variety of cuisine and settings to suit your mood.
The hotel has numerous facilities including two pools, tennis courts, golf, a good selection of water sports and a fantastic world famous spa.

When to travel
Straddling the equator, Indonesia tends to have a fairly even climate year-round. Rather than four seasons, Indonesia has two – wet and dry – and there are no extremes of temperature between winter and summer. In most parts of Indonesia, the wet season falls between October and April and the dry season between May and September. December and January see Indonesia at its most humid and rain tends to come in sudden tropical downpours, but it can also rain for more prolonged periods.
