Bintan Regency (Template:Langx; Script error: No such module "IPA".), or originally the Riau Islands Regency[2][3] (Template:Langx; Script error: No such module "IPA".) is an administrative area in the Riau Islands Province of Indonesia. Bintan Regency includes all of Bintan Island (except for the city of Tanjung Pinang which is separately administered as an autonomous area of the island) and also includes many outlying islands including the Tambelan and Badas Islands situated between Bintan and West Kalimantan; altogether there are 273 islands comprising the regency.
The Bintan Regency originally included all of the areas now comprising the Riau Islands Province, but on 4 October 1999 parts of the regency were split off to create separate Regencies of Karimun and Natuna (the latter originally including what in 2008 became the Anambas Islands Regency), together with the independent city of Batam. In 2001, the town of Tanjung Pinang on Bintan Island was also split off to become an independent city. In 2002, all these areas which had comprised the original Bintan Regency were brought together in a new Riau Islands Province when that was created from the archipelagic part of Riau Province. In 2003, a further regency – for the Lingga Islands – was created from part of the residual Bintan Regency.
Bintan Regency covers an area of roughly 1,318.20 square kilometres (508.96 mi2). It had a population of 142,300 at the 2010 census[4] and 159,518 at the 2020 census;[5] the official estimate as at mid 2025 was 182,355 (comprising 93,605 males and 88,750 females).[1]
Location
The island is located 40 kilometres from Singapore, with an area of 1,467.84 km2, and it had a population of around 330,000 at the 2010 census (including Tanjung Pinang),[4] which by the 2020 census had risen to 387,181,[5] while the official estimate as of mid 2025 was 423,621 (including Tanjung Pinang's 241,266 residents).[1] These area and population figures include the entire Bintan Island as well as outlying islands and archipelagoes that are included within Bintan Regency and Tanjung Pinang City. Famous places in Bintan Regency include Trikora Beach, on the east coast, and the international Bintan Resorts.
Administration
The regency is divided into ten districts (kecamatan) – tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010[4] and 2020 censuses,[5] together with the official estimates as at mid 2025.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the numbers of administrative villages in each district (a total of 36 rural desa and 15 urban kelurahan), and its postal code.
