Welcome to glamping in the tropics. Inspired by 18th century colonial exploration camps, Natra Bintan brings a rugged outback experience for the adventurous traveler. Safari tents coupled with modern tropical sheds are infused with local textures such as riang riang branches, recycled hardwood, sukabumi stones, terrazzo, woven rattan, jute ropes, linen drapery and sisal rug. Guest are offered a rustic tropical experience coupled with the comforts of a modern resort.The project was planned as a series of tents and shed-like cantilevered roof forms. The front-of-house block was designed such that guests arriving from the access road have an obscured view, until they step into the open Arrival Hall – and are greeted by a stunning view across the length of Crystal Lagoon. Flanking the hall are the Reception and All-day Dining, both overlooking the lagoon. Guest can lounge at the sand pit or the bar while enjoying the full glory of the lagoon with a sunset view.
