A short boat ride from bustling Singapore, the island of Bintan is famed for its endless pristine beaches, natural beauty of the landscape and clear blue waters, the ideal antidote for families yearning for fun and frolicking around sun, sea and sand as they gradually embrace near normal living!
These are treasured elements of your children's beach holiday and provide them with hours of pleasure. Best family bonding occurs at times like these especially as your children venture out to the new normal world. Just as much as these tools provide pleasure whilst they play, collecting them thereafter can be tough with the messy sand. Make sure you carry a couple of large mesh bags to bring away the tools free of sand back to your Bintan hotels.
Keeping your smartphone at hand as well as dry around the beach can be a challenging task especially when you are with kids. Using a close-fitting ziplock case works wonders as you can still manoeuvre the touchscreen functions and even capture those endearing photos for your treasured family album as often used by visitors at The Residence Bintan.
Just as much as it is fun to be around the beach, loss of water and minerals through perspiration is to be expected and must be managed regularly. Therefore constantly hydrate yourselves either by having bottled water or a more inviting alternative for children would be carrying a large Ziploc bag of frozen juice to the beach with a few straws to keep the entire family thirst free and energized during the stay.
A must-have item for each member of the family as you intend to spend time outdoors. Select hats which provide cover to the forehead and neck area and choose a range of colours that will add that bright spark to your family photos.
These cooling towels are indispensable items when you commence a vacation with kids. You simply wet it, wring it well and lie down, the surface will be at least 20 to 30 degrees lower than the temperature outside making your children enjoy the lie down outdoors with the towel cooling their skin.
With so many options to choose from pick one that can be used as a hold-all bag when you travel with your family as it can be quite a chore carrying back an array of loose articles. These special blankets dry fast and most of them come with stakes to hold the blanket down during windy days.
A useful one to take on your trip if you have babies and toddlers as they are too small to enjoy the ocean yet. Your little kiddos would love splashing in the mini pool enabling the adults to spend time enjoying the rolling waves of the ocean. These pools are easily transportable as you keep travelling with your kids.
