Belitung continues to solidify its transformation from a traditional nature destination into an integrated world-class tourist area. The latest strategic step was taken by PT Intra Golflink Resorts Tbk (IGR), the developer of Black Rocks Golf, by partnering with PT Putra Ciptawahana Sejati (PT Ranati). This collaboration gives birth to the Laskar Pelangi Beach Food Plaza project, an integrated culinary center that will enhance the tourism experience at the iconic Tanjung Tinggi Beach area.
This cooperation was signed at Palm Hill Golf Sentul, Bogor, West Java, and marks a new chapter in sport tourism development on Laskar Pelangi Island. PT Ranati is providing 5,000 square meters of land, while PT IGR, supported by PT Amkawa Akbarindo Bersama, will lead the construction and management of the infrastructure.
The main advantage of this project is its seamless integration with the existing tourism ecosystem. Its location, just a few hundred meters from Hole 15 of Black Rocks Golf and close to Tentang Kopi Restaurant and the Camping Ground, creates a complete experience loop or tourism circuit. Tourists can now easily enjoy a series of premium activities: from teeing off on an international-standard golf course, relaxing at the camping ground, enjoying a cup of authentic Belitung coffee, to exploring local cuisine in one integrated area.

By centralizing a well-organized culinary area, PT IGR addresses the challenge while preserving the pristine nature of Tanjung Tinggi Beach. The beauty of the granite rocks panorama and the blue sea remains the main attraction, while the tourists' need for comfortable culinary facilities is fulfilled centrally.
Complete Facilities for an Unforgettable Culinary Tourism Experience
Laskar Pelangi Beach Food Plaza is designed to be a new magnet that encourages visitors to linger longer. Targeting a capacity of over 1,000 people, the facilities to be built include:
- Approximately 70 neatly arranged culinary stalls offering diverse signature dishes.
- An additional food plaza area with a mesmerizing lake view.
- A representative mushola (prayer room) for comfortable worship.
- A spacious and organized parking area.
- Various other supporting facilities for comfort.
This project, targeted to be operational by February 2026, is expected not only to increase the number of visits but also to extend tourists' length of stay in Belitung.
Strengthening Belitung's Positioning on Indonesia's Golf Tourism Map
The presence of Laskar Pelangi Beach Food Plaza is tangible proof of the commitment to developing Golf Tourism in Belitung. The island is no longer just a passive beach destination but has evolved into a vibrant and dynamic Integrated Sport Tourism Ecosystem.
Within one managed area, tourists can experience the harmony between the adrenaline of golf, the peace of the beach nature, the richness of local cuisine, and the comfort of modern facilities. This is the new narrative woven for Belitung: a premium destination smartly embracing the global trend of sport tourism.
With this step, Belitung is increasingly solid in offering unique tourism packages, combining the tranquility of tropical nature with international-standard golf activities and the best supporting facilities. Belitung tourism has now entered a new era, ready to welcome travelers seeking a complete and unforgettable experience.
