It covers ferry and flight options, arrival terminals, transfer times, and how to get there after arriving in Bintan.
Getting to Pantai Indah Lagoi 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 Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan 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?
Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan’s standard check-in time is 3:00 PM.
The 11:10 AM or 2:00 PM ferry can be considered depending on the arrival plans.
An arrival before 1:00 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 Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan
Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal is the closest ferry terminal to Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan, with a transfer time of approximately 15 minutes by villa shuttle.
Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan offers a complimentary two-way shuttle transfer for guests arriving from Singapore.
Villa staff are generally available at the arrival hall to assist arriving guests.
Look for the villa representative holding a sign with the Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan 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 reception until the room is ready, or enjoy the resort’s own private beach or spa while waiting.
- Request pickup directly from Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal and start a tour before being dropped off at Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan.

2. Singapore to Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan 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.

Guests can book a private transfer or taxi in advance for the onward journey.
With a pre-arranged transfer, the driver can meet guests at the terminal and take them directly to Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan.
During busy periods, advance booking is recommended due to higher demand for private transfers.
Private transfers to Pantai Indah Lagoi Bintan can be arranged through the Private Transfer Service.
