Trikora Beach Club

Top choice in Pulau Bintan


Rustic whitewashed beach huts and a white sandy beach make this chillaxed resort popular with visitors from neighbouring Singapore looking for a quick, cheap getaway. The gorgeous blue-tiled pool is perfect for a cooling dip, as is the clear ocean, where you can try snorkelling and numerous water sports. The restaurant serves decent food.

Ask for a hut close to the beach so all you'll hear is the sound of the waves, not the nearby road. Snorkelling gear, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), kayaks and bicycles are available to rent for those wanting to keep active.
