Bintan Lagoon Resort launched a new private ferry terminal just last month, offering a direct 75-minute ride from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminah.

The resort has 473 deluxe rooms, villas and suites many boasting clear views of South China Sea. On-site there’s also Taman Sari Spa and dining options like clubby seaside joint Rice, international coffeehouse Kopi-O and Japanese restaurant Miyako. Two golf courses (the Woodlands and Sea View Course), snorkeling gear and banana boats as well as ATV vehicles round out the facilities.

The getaway’s also offering a New Beginnings promotion including a two-night stay with return ferry tickets, 30-minute beach massage, complimentary sky lantern and $20 F&B voucher at $239++ through March 31 2013.
