Longing to get back to nature, managed to find two different places in Bintan, that offers great spa with a twist of difference.
Just an hour away via ferry, Bintan is a convenient getaway.
Aroma Spa, offers the full spa amendities for us to melt away. The spa is great and in a setting that you can just destress. After spa, Pasar Oleh Oleh and Kampong Lagoi offers a wide range of eateries to choose from. Also shops to pick up some local souverniers.
Another spa that I really enjoyed is one set in nature and back to basic.
River Spa is set in the original Mangrove and about 1 hour away from Bintan. Once you hit the road, the ride is really scenic and you have reached before you knew it. The spa huts are simple but with privacy. The spa is a simple body scrub and the massage is really good. After the spa, we took a boat ride down the mangrove swamp to our lunch location. Lunch is simple but bet it it very tasty. On return, we stop over at Trikora Beach. The white sand n beach in the photos are no photoshop effect. Simple day away, fill with nature and full relaxation.
