Bawah Reserve

Bawah Reserve is an ultra-luxury private island resort set within a pristine marine conservation area in the Anambas Archipelago, Indonesia, spanning six secluded islands, 13 white-sand beaches and three crystal-clear lagoons. Accessible by a scenic seaplane flight from Singapore or Batam, the resort offers just 36 standalone accommodations — including overwater bungalows, beach suites, garden villas, and pool villas — each designed with natural materials that blend harmoniously into the untouched surroundings and provide breathtaking views of the South China Sea. Bawah’s all-inclusive experience features farm-to-table cuisine across multiple restaurants, non-alcoholic beverages, daily spa treatments and wellness classes, as well as a range of water and land activities like snorkelling, kayaking, hiking, yoga, and more, all crafted to create a relaxing yet adventurous escape.

What truly sets Bawah Reserve apart is its deep commitment to sustainability and conservation, with eco-conscious design and operations at the core of the guest experience. Built by hand using locally sourced materials and powered largely by renewable energy, the resort prioritises environmental stewardship through initiatives such as coral reef protection, rainwater harvesting, zero single-use plastics, and permaculture gardening that contributes to its dishes and ecosystem health. This earth-first philosophy enhances the sense of tranquillity and connection with nature, making Bawah Reserve not just a luxury retreat but also a meaningful destination for travellers seeking to relax responsibly in one of Indonesia’s most spectacular natural settings.
