Singapore passport holders generally enjoy visa-free entry for short stays, but always check passport validity and immigration rules before travel.

How to pick the right hotel for your couple trip — step-by-step

1. Decide your vibe: private villa (Montigo) vs. beachfront resort (Turi) vs. city hotel (Swiss-Belhotel).
2. Choose ferry terminal that minimizes transfer time: HarbourFront → Harbour Bay/Batam Centre is fastest for Harbour Bay hotels; Tanah Merah → Nongsapura for Montigo/Turi/Nongsa.
3. Book a package if you want ferry + hotel included — many WeekendGoWhere packages bundle ferry, land transfer and breakfast.
4. For proposals/special nights: call the hotel in advance for room setup, candlelight dinner or couple spa packages.
5. Plan return ferry times to avoid late-night queues — book morning outbound + late-afternoon return for a full weekend.

Suggested romantic 2-day itinerary (Singapore → Batam)

Estimate costs for two people (ballpark): ferry S$60–150 total (round-trip, economy), hotel S$120–400/night (depending on property), meals & activities S$80–200. Total weekend cost (2D1N) for a comfortable romantic trip: S$300–800+ for two, depending on accommodation and dining choices.

2-day sample (relaxed)

• Day 1: Morning ferry from HarbourFront → check-in at hotel (Montigo/Turi/Nongsa Point). Afternoon couples spa. Sunset cocktails and beachside dinner.
• Day 2: Morning breakfast in villa, short island tour or water activity, late lunch, check-out and ferry back to Singapore (book an afternoon return).

Add-on ideas

• 1-day city tour: book a Batam city day tour with ferry (example package: Batam | 1 Day City Tour + Ferry at Only S$99!).
• Couples massage or private candlelight dinner: request with the hotel at least 48–72 hours before arrival.

Packing & practical tips for couples

• Bring passport, face mask (if you prefer), small first-aid kit and sunscreen.
• Currency: Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is widely used; credit cards work at hotels but carry some cash for small vendors and terminal fees.
• Terminal fees: some ferries include fees; others may charge a Batam terminal fee in local currency — check when you buy the ticket.
• Plan transport: many resorts include hotel pickups in ferry packages — use them to avoid hassle on arrival.
