City & Place Guide

Island gateway blending beaches, shopping, and Singapore proximity.

Batam is a bustling Indonesian island in the Riau Archipelago, just a 45-minute ferry ride from Singapore. Its strategic location makes it a popular weekend escape for Singaporeans seeking affordable seafood, spa treatments, and duty-free shopping.

Beyond bargain hunting, Batam offers relaxed beaches, golf courses, and a growing marina scene around Nongsa and Waterfront City. The island is well-developed compared to its neighbors, with modern malls, international hotels, and a lively food scene.

While not a pristine tropical retreat, Batam rewards visitors who embrace its hybrid character — part industrial hub, part leisure destination — delivering good value and easy accessibility from the region.

  • •Nongsa Beach — tranquil stretch with resorts and calm waters ideal for relaxing
  • •Barelang Bridge — iconic series of six bridges connecting surrounding islands with scenic views
  • •Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall — busy commercial hub for electronics, clothes, and duty-free goods
  • •Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple — one of Southeast Asia's largest Buddhist temples, visually striking
  • •Ocarina Beach — family-friendly waterfront park with recreational facilities and sunset views

Getting around: Batam has no rail system; the main options are metered taxis (blue taxis are regulated), ojek motorcycle taxis, and app-based rideshare services like Grab, which are widely used and affordable. Rental cars with drivers are available through hotels, and angkot minibuses cover fixed local routes cheaply but can be slow.

Best time: Visit between May and September during the drier months to avoid heavy rainfall and enjoy outdoor activities and beach days comfortably.

Local food: Don't miss fresh seafood at Harbour Bay seafood market, local Malay dishes like nasi lemak and mie tarempa, and affordable Indonesian favorites at the hawker stalls around Nagoya.

Hang Nadim International Airport
Encyclopaedia

Hang Nadim International Airport is an international airport located in Batam, the largest city in Riau Islands province, Indonesia. It is named after Laksamana Hang Nadim Pahlawan Kechik, a legendary Malay warrior from the region. The airport is the primary method of transport to and from Batam, alongside ferries to neighboring islands, including the sovereign city-state of Singapore in the north. The airport has the largest runway in Indonesia and the second-longest in Southeast Asia. This stems from its original development to handle diversions of aircraft from Singapore Changi Airport located approximately 30 kilometres away in the case of emergencies or inclement weather, and as such has sufficient facilities for wide-body aircraft including the Boeing 747s, Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s. The airport stretches over 1,800 hectares, of which only 40% is normally used.
