Batam View Beach Resort, a spa resort nestled on a private beach in Nongsa, Batam, is undergoing a major renovation in preparation for the return of international travellers post-pandemic.
The resort’s revamp comes as Riau Islands (Nongsa and Lagoi), together with its neighbouring Bintan Island, is being prepared by Indonesian authorities for the opening of its first travel bubble with Singapore.
Batam View Beach Resort will complete renovations by end of this year
Refurbishment of the resort’s 212 rooms and villas as part of the first phase of renovation which begun in 2019 has been completed, the resort’s general manager, Anddy Fong, said during a presentation at The Great ASEAN Travel Fest 2021 organised by TTG Asia.
