There’s something undeniably special about a peaceful beach escape, especially when it doesn’t require long flights or complicated travel plans. That’s exactly what makes this current promotion by The Residence Bintan such an enticing opportunity for SAFRA members and servicemen. From now till 31 August 2025, they can book a rejuvenating 3D2N stay at The Residence Bintan’s Upper Garden Suite for only $396 nett (usual price up to $510) – and yes, that even includes a delicious Hickory Smoked Chicken Pizza at the pool bar.
Now, if that sounds like the kind of mid-year reset one needs, then it’s time to look closer at why this deal is more than just a short getaway—it’s a meaningful escape worth making.
Why The Residence Bintan Should Be on Their Radar
Located on the serene southeastern coastline of Bintan Island, The Residence Bintan is a luxury resort surrounded by lush forest canopies, soft white beaches, and crystal-clear waters. It’s the type of resort that doesn’t shout luxury but exudes it quietly through its tasteful design, immersive guest experience, and personal attention to detail.
When people arrive, the first thing they’ll notice is how different it feels from the usual beach resort. There are no high-rise towers or overcrowded pools. Instead, it offers peace, space, and gentle hospitality—whether one’s there for romance, family bonding, or a solo wellness escape.
The Upper Garden Suite, which is featured in this promotion, isn’t just any room. It’s a beautifully appointed space designed for calm and comfort, accommodating up to three adults or two adults and one child. There’s a spacious balcony or terrace where guests can enjoy morning coffee or evening breezes, and every inch of the suite is designed with subtle elegance and island-inspired charm.
What Makes This Deal a Real Bargain
To start with, $396 nett for two nights in such a luxurious suite is already a great bargain. The usual rate can go as high as $510, depending on the season and demand. Add in the complimentary Hickory Smoked Chicken Pizza served by the pool, and they’ve got a hearty welcome snack (or meal) built into the package—perfect for unwinding after a ferry ride.
Plus, this price is valid for both weekdays and weekends, so there’s plenty of flexibility in planning. The only exclusions are public holidays and their eves—which is quite standard.
The other major highlight? This isn’t a flash sale with limited availability. Bookings are open all the way till 31 August 2025, and stays are valid through to 24 December 2025—giving plenty of time for planning and coordinating with school breaks or annual leave.
It’s also worth noting that this deal is exclusive to SAFRA members and 11B holders, adding an extra layer of value for those who serve or have served.
How to Book
Unlike regular online bookings, this promotion is done via email only. That might feel a bit old-school, but it actually adds a touch of concierge-style service. All one has to do is email reservation-bintan@theresidence.com with the code <SAFRA-SAFDAY> and wait for the confirmation.
This also ensures the resort is prioritising personalised service for those taking up this exclusive promotion. One thing to remember, however, is that all bookings are non-refundable and non-amendable, and subject to availability—so it’s best to plan carefully and confirm travel dates before locking in the reservation.
Getting There: A Short Journey with Big Rewards
Another beauty of this deal lies in The Residence Bintan’s location. A quick ferry ride from Singapore to Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal, followed by a short drive, gets travellers to the resort without the hassle of air travel or layovers.
Within a few hours, one can leave behind the bustle of city life and find themselves sipping a cool drink on a quiet beach or lounging in a hammock with a book.
This accessibility makes it perfect for a long weekend or quick mid-week retreat. For couples who want to reconnect without flying out, families seeking a peaceful holiday, or even professionals who need a change of scenery to unwind—this destination checks all the boxes.
Activities and Experiences Worth Exploring
Beyond the suite itself, The Residence Bintan offers a host of experiences that make the stay worthwhile. Think sunrise yoga, nature walks, cycling tours, and cooking classes using local ingredients.
For wellness lovers, the in-house spa is a sanctuary worth visiting. Using natural oils and island herbs, treatments range from classic massages to deeply restorative therapies.
Families with children will appreciate the kids’ club and family-friendly facilities, while food lovers can enjoy locally inspired dishes made fresh from regional produce. The restaurant menus cater to a range of tastes and are beautifully presented without being overly fussy.
And if guests simply wish to do nothing, that’s perfectly fine too. The whole resort is designed to encourage rest and mindfulness.
Responsible Travel with a Heart
It’s also worth noting that The Residence Bintan is part of the Cenizaro group, known for thoughtful and sustainable hospitality. From eco-conscious resort practices to community involvement, the resort maintains a sense of social responsibility—making every stay feel even more purposeful.
Choosing such destinations helps support tourism models that give back to the local community and minimise environmental impact—something more travellers now value.
