Discover the Magic of Nikoi Island

Nikoi is a 15-hectare private island just off the east coast of Bintan, about 8km out to sea. The island is ringed by white sandy shores and beautiful coral reefs, and has areas of rainforest with banyan trees and native birdlife. It was developed with an idea of simple luxury, privacy, and sustainability in mind, which shows in its natural design and respect for local ecosystems.
How to Get to Nikoi Island from Singapore and Bintan
Getting to Nikoi Island involves several steps, but it is smooth and well organized. From Singapore you begin at the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, taking a high-speed ferry to Bandar Bentan Telani in Bintan, which takes about one hour. After landing in Bintan you travel by car across part of the island about one hour to the jetty. From the jetty a speedboat journey of about 20 minutes delivers you to Nikoi Island. The resort helps arrange all transfers, so your journey is coordinated.

Each house brings you close to the beach, many just steps from the shore. The design uses natural materials and encourages open air, with verandas, shade, and views of sea and forest. Dining is thoughtful and locally inspired, with fresh produce and meals that match the setting. The reef, the beach, and the water are a big part of the experience snorkeling, swimming, relaxing in hammocks, and enjoying the quiet. Sustainability is also part of the island’s story energy, design, conservation, and community are built into how Nikoi works.
