Batam travel guide
Indonesia · Top sights · trending spots
Batam is an hour by ferry from Singapore and has been a duty-free industrial zone since the 1970s, which is why the resorts and golf are cheap by the standards of the strait.
Seafood is eaten in kelong restaurants built on stilts over the water. The Barelang bridges, six of them finished in 1998, string the island to a chain of smaller ones full of fishing villages.
