Tents are also equipped with LCD TVs and Wi-Fi connections that allow guests to keep in touch with their lives in this the remote and exotic location.
Natra Bintan spreads through idyllic Chill Cove at Treasure Bay, the island’s premier leisure destination offers a stunning water lagoon and numerous pools from which to enjoy a wide range of water sports. Natra sits directly on the Crystal Lagoon, an expansive man-made seawater lagoon. Water activities include family-friendly bumper boat-rides, fun slides and wakeboarding action.
The all-day dining option, Patio, offers a view of the tranquil lagoon, and makes a good spot to relish refreshing cocktails and sunsets. Natra Bintan also provides a unique experience for team bonding retreats, as well as corporate events and weddings with the serene saltwater lagoon as the backdrop to their special events.
