Hotels in Riau Islands, Indonesia

Riau Islands, an archipelago just south of Singapore, has a tropical climate with temperatures averaging 77-90°F (25-32°C) year-round. The dry season from April to October is perfect for snorkeling in the clear South China Sea around Bintan, while the rainy season from November to March brings lower hotel rates and quieter beaches on Batam. If you're into golf, Bintan's Laguna course is a top pick, but Batam offers cheaper spas and ferry access to Singapore.
