About Us

bintan.net is an independent travel portal about Bintan Island in Indonesia's Riau Islands Province. We publish in three languages – Indonesian, German and English – so that information about the island can reach a wider audience, from visitors coming via Singapore or Europe to Indonesians who want to get to know Bintan better.

What we cover

• Hotels and resorts, from Lagoi to Tanjungpinang.
• The history of the Riau-Lingga Sultanate and Penyengat Island.
• Malay and Chinese culture.
• Bintan's food.
• Religious travel to mosques and temples.

Who we are

bintan.net is run from Germany by Laujambu (Melanie Ginting, Wittorf). It belongs to a small network of websites together with laujambu.de, batam.com, diaspora.glaspop.com, glaspop.com and karo-online.com. Our content is written by a small editorial team that aims to be as accurate as possible.
