There are four main ways to get to Kamuela Villa Lagoi Bay Bintan.
The route depends on where you are traveling from, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Batam, or other cities in Indonesia.
In this guide, Bintan Travel Guide (BTG) provides guidance for guests planning how to get to Kamuela Villa Lagoi Bay Bintan.
It covers ferry and flight options, arrival terminals, transfer times, and how to get to Kamuela Villa Lagoi Bay after arriving in Bintan.
Getting to Kamuela Villa Lagoi Bay Bintan from Singapore
If you are traveling from Singapore, you will need to take a ferry to Bintan.
All ferry services from Singapore depart from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, which is approximately 15–20 minutes from Changi Airport by car.
Passengers are generally advised to arrive at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal at least 90 minutes before departure.
This allows enough time for check-in, boarding pass collection, and immigration clearance.
There are two main ferry routes from Singapore to Bintan.
1. Singapore to Kamuela Villa by Direct Ferry — Fastest Route
The fastest and most convenient way to travel from Singapore to Bintan is by Bintan Resort ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Bandar Bentan Telani (BBT) Ferry Terminal.
The ferry journey takes approximately 70 minutes, with daily services from around 8:10 AM to 5:00 PM.
Bintan is one hour behind Singapore. For example, an 8:10 AM departure from Singapore arrives at approximately 8:20 AM Bintan time.
Ferry tickets for the Singapore to Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal route can be booked online through the Direct Ferries website.
Which Ferry Time Should Guests Choose?
Kamuela Villa Lagoi Bay Bintan’s standard check-in time is 2:00 PM.
The 11:10 AM or 2:00 PM ferry can be considered depending on the arrival plans.
An arrival before 12:00 PM may leave some time before the room is ready.
Alternatively, taking the 2:00 PM ferry or a later service can help reduce the waiting time before check-in.
For those arriving earlier, the extra time can be used to explore Bintan, take a tour, or enjoy other activities before checking in.
Getting from Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal to Kamuela Villa
Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal is the closest ferry terminal to Kamuela Villa Lagoi Bay Bintan, with a transfer time of approximately 15 minutes.
Kamuela Villa provides a hotel shuttle service for guests arriving from Singapore.
Villa staff are generally available at the arrival hall to assist arriving guests.
Look for the hotel representative holding a sign with the Kamuela Villa logo and the villa name.
The Villa representative will then assist with the onward transfer to the villa.
Arriving Before Check-In Time?
If a ferry arrives in Bintan before the room is ready, guests have several options:
- Wait at the villa lobby until the room is ready.
- Walk to nearby Plaza Lagoi or Lagoi Beach to explore, relax, or enjoy some activities before check-in.
- Request pickup directly from Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal and start a tour before being dropped off at Kamuela Villa.

2. Singapore to Kamuela Villa via Tanjungpinang — Alternative Route
Tanjungpinang is the main city on Bintan Island and provides an alternative ferry route from Singapore.
This option can be useful when direct ferries to Bandar Bentan Telani are fully booked, particularly during weekends, public holidays, and peak travel periods.
Ferries on this route depart from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore and arrive at Sri Bintan Pura Ferry Terminal in Tanjungpinang.
The route is operated by two ferry companies, Majestic Fast Ferry and Sindo Ferry, with a journey time of approximately 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours.
Ferry tickets for the Singapore to Tanjungpinang route can be booked online through the Direct Ferries website.

The route passes through Tanjungpinang city before continuing towards the Bintan Resort area.
The road transfer covers approximately 62.2 km and takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
Kamuela Villa does not provide a dedicated hotel shuttle service from Tanjungpinang Ferry Terminal.
However, guests can contact the villa directly to inquire about taxi arrangements.
Another option is to book a private transfer in advance.
With a pre-arranged transfer, the driver can meet guests at the terminal and take them directly to Kamuela Villa.
During busy periods, advance booking is recommended due to higher demand for private transfers.
Private transfers to Kamuela Villa can be arranged through the Private Transfer Service.
