In a strategic move to position itself as a preferred destination for Indian women travellers, Bintan recently hosted an exclusive familiarisation (FAM) trip for women travel creators. The initiative spotlighted Bintan as a safe, accessible, and experience-rich island escape, just a short ferry ride from Singapore.
Accompanied by Ms. Shakambri Soni from VFS Global, Bintan’s India-based tourism representative, the curated itinerary highlighted the island’s diverse offerings — from moments of beachside serenity to thrilling adventure experiences — perfect for solo travellers, close-knit friends, or corporate girl groups seeking a short-haul tropical break.
The four-day experience featured immersive explorations, including the striking Bintan Sand Dunes, the serene 500 Lohan Temple, kayaking, ATV rides, and the adrenaline-fueled Mangrove Discovery Tour. Evenings were spent enjoying golden sunsets and unwinding by the beach, while mornings blended sightseeing with rejuvenating spa rituals. The group stayed at Four Points by Sheraton Bintan, offering a stylish and comfortable base for their island adventures.
With social media content captured in real time through engaging Reels and Stories, the participating creators — each with a strong audience base — played a pivotal role in amplifying Bintan’s appeal among experience-driven, modern Indian women.
Mr. Abdul Wahab, Chief Operating Officer, Bintan Resorts, shared:
“We’re delighted to showcase Bintan as a peaceful, activity-rich escape just 60 minutes from Singapore. With luxury resorts, curated adventures, world-class spas and serene beaches — it’s the perfect getaway for Indian women travellers.”
As Indian outbound travel continues to evolve towards mindful and multi-experiential journeys, Bintan positions itself as a rising favourite for short, soul-refreshing holidays — ideal as a standalone retreat or as an extension to a Singapore vacation.
