Tanjung Pinang is an independent city, while the rest falls under Bintan Regency. Most hotels are concentrated in the southern beach areas, close to the ferry terminal from Singapore, offering convenient access and well-developed facilities.
There is no major international airport on the island. Access is primarily via ferries from Singapore or Batam. Internal transportation relies on taxis, chartered cars, or hotel shuttles, making it suitable for leisurely exploration.
Indonesia's tropical climate allows for year-round visits, but the dry season (April to October) offers more stable weather, ideal for beach activities and water sports, making it the best time for resort stays.
