“From Desert Dreams to Island Bliss: Your One-Day Escape to Lagoi & Bintan – A Middle Eastern Oasis in Indonesia”
Curated by Travel Galang Bahari | Call Now: 0821-8685-2221Introduction: Where East Meets East — An Unexpected Fusion of Cultures
Imagine stepping off a speedboat onto powdery white sand, greeted not by the familiar tropical breeze alone—but by golden domes, intricate mosaics, and the warm hospitality reminiscent of an Arabian courtyard. No, you’re not in Dubai or Muscat. You’re in Lagoi, Bintan—just a 55-minute ferry ride from Singapore—a hidden gem where Indonesian serenity meets Middle Eastern grandeur.
At Travel Galang Bahari, we don’t just plan trips—we design experiences. And our signature “One-Day Exotic Escape to Lagoi & Bintan” is a perfect example: a seamless blend of luxury, culture, adventure, and relaxation—all packed into a single, unforgettable day.
Whether you’re a busy expat in Singapore craving a weekend reset, a corporate team looking for an inspiring offsite, or a family wanting a hassle-free yet extraordinary getaway—this tour is made for you.
Let us take you behind the scenes of how a single sunrise to sunset can transform your perspective, recharge your spirit, and leave you with memories that shimmer like the Gulf’s finest pearls—right here in Indonesia.
🌅 6:30 AM – Departure from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, Singapore
Your day begins smoothly and stylishly. Our friendly Travel Galang Bahari representative meets you at the ferry terminal—no waiting, no confusion—just a warm smile and a chilled towel. As you board the high-speed ferry, sip on complimentary local ginger tea or iced jamu, served in reusable bamboo cups (yes, we care about sustainability, too!).
The 55-minute ride across the Singapore Strait is more than transit—it’s your mental transition from urban rush to island calm. Gaze at the turquoise expanse, spot distant fishing perahu, and watch as Bintan’s coastline emerges—lush, serene, and promising.
💡 Why choose us?
Unlike generic ferry transfers, we pre-book priority boarding and reserved seating for all our guests—so you skip the queues and maximize your precious time.
🏯 8:00 AM – Arrival in Lagoi: Step Into a Sultan’s Dream
Welcome to Lagoi Bay, home to Bintan Resorts—a 3,300-hectare integrated leisure destination master-planned with inspiration from the world’s most iconic landscapes. But here’s what makes it truly unique: its architectural soul whispers of the Middle East.
Think:
✔️ Moorish arches framing ocean views
✔️ Geometric Islamic tilework in hotel lobbies
✔️ Courtyards with fountains and date palms
✔️ Golden sunset minarets (purely decorative, yet deeply evocative)
It’s not imitation—it’s interpretation. A respectful, elegant homage to Arabian aesthetics—reimagined in an Indonesian context. And today, you’re the honored guest.
Our first stop? The Sanchaya—a luxury boutique resort often called “The Jewel of Bintan.” While overnight stays here start at IDR 15 million/night, we’ve secured exclusive day-access privileges for our guests—including a guided cultural walk through its art-filled corridors, a private photo session in its Persian-inspired gardens, and complimentary Arabic coffee & dates in their shaded courtyard.
✨ Fun Fact: The Sanchaya houses Southeast Asia’s largest private collection of 19th-century Southeast Asian antiques—many displayed alongside Ottoman-era artifacts. It’s a dialogue between empires, told through design.
🥘 10:00 AM – A Taste of the Silk Road: Authentic Middle Eastern Brunch
Hungry? We thought so.
At Nirwana Beach Club, perched on the edge of a crescent-shaped bay, we’ve reserved a shaded cabana just for you. Here, our chefs (trained in Jakarta and Dubai) serve a fusion Middle Eastern–Indonesian brunch:
- Warm pita with spiced rendang hummus
- Grilled kebabs marinated in tamarind & sumac
- Falafel made with local mung beans & coconut
- Baklava drizzled with gula jawa (palm sugar) syrup
- Fresh mint lemonade & sahlab (rosewater pudding)
Every bite tells a story—of trade routes, shared spices, and centuries of culinary exchange. Dietary needs? Vegan, halal, gluten-free? Just let us know in advance—we adapt everything.
📞 Pro Tip:
This meal is included in our premium package—but even standard bookings get priority seating and a free upgrade to ocean-view tables. (Because we believe in overdelivering.)
🐫 12:00 PM – The “Desert Mirage” Experience: Camel Rides, Henna & Storytelling
Yes—camels. On a tropical island.
At the resort’s dedicated cultural zone, a gentle pair of dromedaries (imported from Australia and acclimatized with care) await. Take a 15-minute ride along the beach—sand between your toes, sea breeze in your hair, and the surreal sight of a camel silhouette against coconut trees.
Afterward, settle into our Bedouin-style lounge—low cushions, lantern light, and soft oud music—for a henna art session. Our artist, trained in Yogyakarta and Marrakesh, creates custom designs—from traditional floral motifs to modern minimalist patterns. Want your initials in Arabic calligraphy? Done.
As your henna dries, our storyteller (a former theater actor from Bandung) shares tales of Sinbad, Malin Kundang, and the Queen of Sheba—blending Arabian legend with local Malay folklore. It’s immersive, educational, and deeply moving.
🌿 Ethical Note:
Our camels work only 2 hours/day, rotate weekly, and receive full veterinary care. Animal welfare is non-negotiable.
🏖️ 2:00 PM – Serenity Break: Private Beach Time & Optional Spa
Now—your time.
We escort you to Lagoi Private Beach, a secluded stretch reserved for our guests. White sand, calm water, zero crowds. Loungers, umbrellas, and refreshment service are all set up.
Want to float? We provide eco-friendly snorkel kits (reef-safe sunscreen included!) to explore the nearby coral nursery—an initiative we support in partnership with Bintan Coral Restoration Project.
Or… indulge in our “Oasis Massage” (add-on option):
90 minutes of Balinese-Swedish fusion therapy, using argan oil & frangipani, in an open-air majlis-style pavilion. Sound of waves. Scent of sandalwood. Total reset.
💰 Value Alert:
Book the spa add-on with your tour, and get 20% off—plus a complimentary aromatherapy roller to take home.
🕌 4:30 PM – Golden Hour at the “Blue Mosque of Bintan”
As the sun begins its descent, we take you to Bintan’s most-photographed landmark: Al-Munawwarah Mosque in Lagoi—a stunning replica of Istanbul’s Sultan Ahmed Mosque (the Blue Mosque), built with permission from Turkish architects.
While non-Muslims cannot enter the prayer hall, our exclusive partnership allows a guided exterior tour during non-prayer hours—including:
- Explanation of Ottoman architectural elements
- Photo ops from the best angles (we know them all!)
- A quiet moment by the reflection pool as the dome turns gold
It’s a moment of awe—not just for its beauty, but for what it represents: harmony. A Muslim place of worship, inspired by Turkish design, built on Indonesian soil, admired by people of all faiths. In today’s world, that’s powerful.
📸 Instagram Tip:
Ask our guide for the “magic spot”—a hidden viewpoint where the mosque, palm trees, and sunset align perfectly.
🌆 6:00 PM – Sunset Dhow Cruise & Farewell Feast
The grand finale.
Step aboard Al-Jannah—our custom-built, traditional-style dhow boat (wooden hull, lateen sail, LED fairy lights). As it glides silently across Lagoi Bay, enjoy:
- Live oud & rebana music (soft, not overwhelming)
- Canapés: sambal-stuffed dates, krupuk falafel, coconut labneh
- Non-alcoholic mocktail bar: think tamarind-mint fizz and pandan rose spritz
Then—dinner. Served on brass trays, family-style:
- Lamb mandi cooked in a dum pot with Bintan-grown rice
- Grilled squid with za’atar & calamansi
- Nasi kebuli meets nasi ulam—a true East-meets-East fusion
- Dessert: mango baklava with coconut ice cream
As stars appear, our captain anchors near a quiet cove. Lanterns are lit. And for 10 peaceful minutes—silence. Just you, the sea, and the universe.
🌟 Emotional Touch:
Every guest receives a “Memory Scroll”—a hand-calligraphed thank-you note in Arabic & Indonesian, rolled like an ancient manuscript, sealed with wax.
🚤 8:00 PM – Return to Singapore (or Optional Overnight Extension)
Back to the ferry—relaxed, fulfilled, changed.
But wait—what if one day isn’t enough?
We offer seamless overnight upgrades:
✅ Luxury resort stays (starting from IDR 1.2 million/night)
✅ Private villa with pool & butler service
✅ Next-day activities: mangrove kayaking, pottery workshop, or golf at Bintan’s championship courses
All arranged on the spot—no paperwork, no stress. Just say the word.
