Couple-based activities to consider on your next vacation

by auburn Posted on
Hiking

If you look hard enough, you’ll find research out there that suggests that vacations are good for your health. It seems obvious – everybody needs a break from their daily routine, an escape from the nine-to-five, and a chance to just get away. A nice place to visit is Bintan Island, part of the Indonesia archipelago – surrounded by nature’s delights and the epitome of man’s creature comforts. Perhaps a great place to escape, for two?

Visiting the Beach

You can hardly take a tropical visit to an island and not go to a beach – it seems almost a waste. However, even more so of waste would be the missed opportunities between you and your partner, sharing laughs, a fruity drink, and some sunshine together. Maybe you could take in a jet-ski ride together, and you may even find another activity just by looking around.

Going on Hikes

Like to adventure and exercise together? Why not go on a hike and support each other through the wilds of Bintan, strengthening your bodies and minds as well as the bond you share. There’s also the great sense of accomplishment and the shared memory of your achievement with your loved one to boot. On Bintan Island, it’s likely your accommodation will provide you a way to do exactly this!

Try out the Exotic Cuisine

Indonesia is world-renowned for its flavours! Savoury, sweet, sour, and everything in between –  the country offers a culinary experience that is sure to satisfy any palate. Exploring the culinary landscape of Indonesia is an adventure in itself, with each region showcasing its unique specialties and local ingredients. Whether you’re in bustling cities like Jakarta or tranquil islands like Bali, there are countless opportunities to indulge in the country’s culinary wonders. One of the fantastic ways to embark on this gastronomic journey is by dining at renowned restaurants found in luxury properties such as The Residence Bintan. These establishments provide a blend of traditional Indonesian cuisine and international influences, offering a wide range of delectable dishes prepared with the utmost care and expertise. You can savor iconic Indonesian dishes like nasi goreng (fried rice), rendang (spicy beef stew), gado-gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce), or satay (grilled skewers), each showcasing the unique flavors and techniques of the region they originate from. Try all these and go on an unforgettable journey of culinary wonders with your partner.

Spas and Photo-ops

You can round it all off by visiting scenic spots and places and taking a few photos to immortalize your visit – no better way to set your visit down in stone.
