Experience the stunning natural beauty and rich culture of the largest city in Indonesia’s Riau Islands. Just a speedboat or ferry ride from Singapore, Batam is a destination of its own with beautiful beaches, restaurants serving freshly caught seafood, and outdoor fun that includes golfing, snorkeling, and hiking. Minutes from Wyndham Panbil Batam, you can take an ATV ride through the vast Panbil Nature Reserve, practice your swing at Sukajadi Driving Range, or visit the Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple—one of the largest Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia. Venture a bit further to take in incredible South China Sea views from the impressive Barelang Bridge, check out the beautiful, contemporary Jabal Arafah Mosque, or tour the Galang Refugee Camp—where Vietnamese refugees lived from 1979–1996. Stroll the soft sands of popular Nongsa Beach, book a boat ride from Nongsa Point Marina, or go scuba diving or snorkeling in the crystal clear waters around Abang Island. If you love shopping, you’ll find plenty of options with mega malls like Grand Batam Mall, Mega Mall Batam Centre, and Nagoya Superblock.
