Nirup Island
Guest sentiment
A Westin wellness resort on private Nirup Island in Indonesia's Riau Archipelago, a 20-minute ferry from Singapore, with beach and overwater pool villas, Heavenly Spa and four dining venues.
Last updated August 6, 2026
The Westin Nirup Island Resort & Spa opened in June 2025 as a private-island wellness retreat in Indonesia's Riau Archipelago, reachable by a roughly 20-minute ferry from Singapore's HarbourFront or about 40 minutes from Batam. It marks Westin's fifth Indonesian property and pairs 94 rooms and suites with 52 villas, including sought-after overwater pool villas that draw comparisons to the Maldives. Independent coverage and early guests consistently highlight the sense of seclusion and calm, the polished yet warm Westin service, and spacious, thoughtfully designed rooms framing sea and Singapore-skyline views. Food earns praise too, particularly a breakfast spread reviewers say rivals top luxury resorts, alongside four venues spanning all-day dining, seafood and a pool bar. Wellness is the organizing theme: a Heavenly Spa by Westin, an ocean-view WestinWORKOUT studio, sunrise yoga and guided island treks. The honest watch-outs reflect how new it is. Some visitors reported unfinished or under-construction areas, and several found on-island offerings limited, with a small beach and modest dining and snack choices beyond the main outlets. Ferry logistics can also frustrate, with the Batam crossing described as rougher and less frequent than the Singapore route. On TripAdvisor it rates around 4 out of 5 from a still-small review base and ranks near the top of Batam's inns category. For travelers wanting a quick, low-effort island escape close to Singapore, it delivers seclusion and service, provided expectations account for a resort still finding its feet.
