ABOUT CLUB MED BINTAN

Club Med Bintan Island boasts a 4‐Trident rating and showcases the best of Club Med’s new upscale positioning, offering a hassle‐free, All‐Inclusive Friendly and Luxurious Holiday, allowing their guests to relax and feel renewed.

Location
Singapore’s closest attraction, Bintan, is the largest of 3,200 islands in the Riau archipelago and the third largest of 27 provinces in Indonesia. Located just 45 kilometres south‐east of Singapore, the strategic location, excellent facilities, fascinating cultural contrasts and tourist attractions contribute to its success as an international leading destination for both business and pleasure. Bintan is easily accessible via a 55‐minute ride on a high speed catamaran from Singapore’s Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.

Club Med Bintan Island, featuring the most beautiful beach of Bintan, is set against a backdrop of white sandy beaches and lush green palm trees on the warm water’s edge of the South China Sea.

Rooms
Rooms have been reconfigured to offer 38 additional Deluxe rooms and a reduction of 43 Superior rooms. The new room reconfiguration brought the total 295 rooms inventory to 198 Superior rooms, 94 Deluxe rooms and two Suites as well as a Handicap room. Among the Deluxe rooms, 16 of them are available with balcony. Deluxe rooms have been completely revamped and now boast a chic new look replete with flat screen 26” TVs and DVD players. Warm colours such as oranges and reds were selected for all the rooms.

Reception
The reception showcases the site consistency in the decoration. The colours chosen consist of a variety of green and brown which blends with the decor; oversized pots add a modern twist to classics. The reception desk has been modernized and stands prominently among the rest of the decoration as it is important for it to be noticed by clients. The colour scheme is deliberately more distinguished.
Lounge
For lounge areas, lighter features were used so as to avoid blocking the stunning view and allowing nature to filter through. The area is also decorated with wooden furniture from Indonesia, providing a modern design with pure lines.

Bar
The Santai Bar which is located by the pool at Level One has been rearranged for comfort. The Beach Bar is furnished with contemporary items with soft colours and natural elements to blend with the surroundings.

Ground Floor
Decorated with graphic reflection, furniture with a metallic structure are used to add vibrancy to this big open space. On this level, the warm colours of oranges and reds, coupled with exotic plants are used in order to retain the warmth of the Club Med ambience. The terrace with a seating area and parasols continues from the bar within proximity of the pool and sea. The bright and shiny red‐orange parasols were chosen to contrast with the mineral façade of the main building.

Restaurant
The Waterfall Restaurant ideally set against a romantic backdrop of sandy white beaches and lush greenery exemplifies consistency and incorporates the same colours schemes of brick and earth tones, as well as some natural elements such as bamboos screens and harmonised furniture. In the main seating area, an illusion of depth is created with a deep coat of paint on the walls and a repetition of selected objects, as well as decorations such as wooden crafts, Indonesian statues, scenes of the traditional Indonesian on copper leaf panels. Translucent pendant lights in the high ceiling area of the restaurant casts a gentle soothing glow amid a light breeze.

This cosy and friendly restaurant offers thematic international buffets daily for breakfast, lunch and diner ‐ a great option for those who love a wide selection of cuisines.

The Terrasse, a 120‐seater alfresco restaurant has also been refurbished with a brand new look. Guests can enjoy late breakfast, late lunch and dinners of the freshest grilled seafood and prime cuts of meats accompanied with endless views of the ocean.

With new dishes to the menu, professionally prepared up by Chef Ravindra Balhoo, one of Club Med’s top chefs, Waterfall Restaurant and The Terrasse Restaurant promise gourmet lovers some of the finest and freshest food and sensorial culinary experience of Asian fusion and international dishes on Bintan Island.

    The Petit Club Med looks pretty cute. Was it a childcare place? I’m trying to get ideas as I’m a designer
