No wonder more and more people are choosing Smiling Hill on Batam as their preferred place to live, retire or visit.

Chances are you have never heard of Batam – in fact it is a lively and booming Indonesian island just 20 kilometres (13 miles) across the water from Singapore, or less than an hour by modern fast ferry.

Smiling Hill is being redeveloped as a gated residential resort community with guesthouse, serviced apartments and houses, mainly for resident expatriates and Western visitors.

This site offers general information about Batam and Smiling Hill and the reasons why it may suit you for a holiday, short or long-term serviced accommodation, retirement or relocation, a regional office and/or a rewarding overseas property investment.
