| Banyan Tree Bintan: Sleep to the sound of waves and breathe with the rainforest. In the northwest corner of Bintan Island, Indonesia, there is a hidden paradise embraced by the South China Sea and tropical rainforest—Banyan Tree Bintan. It is not only a "backyard" for Singaporeans to escape the city, but also a "sea island utopia" in the hearts of global travelers, thanks to its unique rainforest villa experience. Private dialogue between rainforest and sea Rainforest sea view villas are built on the hillside, with 84-116 square meters of spacious space perfectly blending nature and luxury. Push the door open, and the four-poster bed faces the vast sea view outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The infinity pool on the private terrace seems to connect with the skyline. The sound of waves and birdsong in the forest interweave into a natural white noise, instantly relieving fatigue. The villa design is dominated by wood and rattan, and the vintage prints hanging on the bedside depict the island's unique white-necked kingfisher and Sumatran flying lizard, showcasing ecological aesthetics in every detail. At night, lie on the lounge chair by the pool and gaze at the starry sky. The lights of the fishing boats and the moonlight dance in the distance, as if you are in a dream. South Pacific flavors on the tip of your tongue The resort's dining experience is a taste adventure. Enjoy Indonesian fried rice with sambal sauce in the Treetops restaurant in the morning, spicy and fragrant with coconut. In the evening, move to the Seagull Restaurant, enjoy the salty sea breeze, and savor freshly caught black pepper crab and creamy shrimp, each bite is a gift from the ocean. If you are looking for the ultimate romance, you can book "Dinner on the Rocks" and enjoy a candlelit feast customized by a private chef among the towering rocks. The sound of waves and the starry sky are your companions. Natural sanctuary for healing and rejuvenation Banyan Tree Spa is a soul ritual that you can't miss on this trip.
