Question 1

Where is Paradise Waters, and how do I get there?

Accepted Answer

On the northeastern tip of Bintan Island, in Indonesia's Riau Archipelago. It's under an hour by ferry from Singapore and about two hours door-to-door — roughly an hour on the water, then an hour by road. The site is 55 minutes from Tanjung Pinang Airport, with Singapore and Malaysia both within easy reach as feeder markets.

Question 2

How big is the site, and what's on it?

Accepted Answer

54 hectares of contiguous beachfront with 870 meters of white sand beach, a private bay, and a jetty. The terrain is flat (1.7–4.5 m elevation) and rectangular, bordered by a protected mangrove ecosystem, with a dugong sanctuary nearby and two coral reefs (about 4 hectares) 50–60 meters offshore. The water stays clear because the site sits outside the Strait of Malacca shipping lanes.

Question 3

How is the sale structured?

Accepted Answer

The land is held through two Singapore holding companies, and the transaction can be at the share level, settled in USD or SGD. Acquiring the holding companies rather than the land directly avoids Indonesian land-registration risk and currency-repatriation friction, keeping the deal clean and fast.

Question 4

What is the land title, and can a foreigner hold it?

Accepted Answer

The parcels hold Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB) title — Indonesia's Right to Build title, and the only title available to foreign-owned entities. HGB can be sold, transferred, mortgaged, and used as collateral. The certificates are valid to 2044 and extendable up to 80 years once construction begins. Permitted use covers residential, commercial, and mixed-use.

Question 5

Is the due diligence done?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Legal due diligence on both the land and the corporate chain is complete and ready for buyer review. There are no liens, mortgages, disputes, or other encumbrances.

Question 6

Can I buy only part of the site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It's available whole, or in parcels from about 15 hectares across the five adjacent titles. Because the five titles already exist, partial positions or phasing are practical without resurveying — full sale, partial sale, joint venture, or phased build-out all work.

Question 7

What infrastructure is already in place?

Accepted Answer

The island is fully electrified and grid connection is straightforward. The site has 180 meters of direct frontage to a recently repaved state asphalt road, two access points, and no easements required, plus a private bay with jetty access. Topographic and geodesic surveys are complete, with no restrictions identified.

Question 8

What would a buyer need to develop?

Accepted Answer

This is greenfield beachfront, and it's priced as such. There is no centralized island water or sewerage, so on-site water supply and wastewater treatment are part of the build, along with environmental and construction permitting. This is the normal scope for a coastal greenfield site and is reflected in the land price.

Question 9

Why Bintan?

Accepted Answer

The Indonesian government is actively developing Bintan as a "second Bali." More than 20 international hotels already operate on the island — including Banyan Tree, Club Med, and Sanchaya — it drew 253,000 foreign visitors in 2025, and six ports provide international and domestic transport links.

Question 10

How is the property priced?

Accepted Answer

It's priced as greenfield beachfront land. Pricing and terms are best discussed directly — reach us at info@bintanland.com

Question 11

What's the climate like — any storm or seismic exposure?

Accepted Answer

Bintan has a tropical climate with a wet season that's planned for like any coastal resort destination. The site's bay sits outside the Strait of Malacca shipping lanes, so the water stays calm and clear.
