A Journey to Bawah Reserve

Unspoiled nature, pristine waters, lush rainforests – this is Bawah Reserve, a secluded paradise that's as committed to luxury as it is to sustainability. Located in Indonesia's remote Anambas Archipelago, the eco-resort is redefining what it means to travel luxuriously and responsibly. Let's embark on a journey of discovery to this hidden gem that offers an exceptional blend of opulence and conservation.

About Bawah Reserve

Bawah Reserve, accessible by a private seaplane from Singapore, stretches across six islands, three lagoons, and thirteen beaches. It's an unspoiled oasis where crystal clear waters meet lush tropical jungles. Each one of the 35 suites and villas, whether they are set overwater, beachfront or ensconced in the island's hillside, offers panoramic views of the surrounding marine reserve.

What sets Bawah Reserve apart is its commitment to maintaining the region's natural beauty through its sustainability initiatives. The property was meticulously constructed by hand to minimize environmental impact. The resort's buildings were designed to enhance the natural airflow, reducing the need for air conditioning. Furthermore, the property sources its water directly from rainfall, stores it, and treats it for use.

Sustainable Initiatives

The reserve operates on a profound philosophy – nurturing its environment, maintaining its biodiversity, and investing in the future of the local community. Their dedicated Earth Foundation works diligently to preserve the ecosystem, conduct valuable research, and create awareness through education.

As part of its sustainable practices, Bawah Reserve actively limits guest numbers to minimize the impact on the local environment, ensuring you will experience a genuinely exclusive retreat. In doing so, the resort has also managed to rejuvenate the local marine life, transforming the region into a marine conservation area teeming with rich biodiversity.

A Unique Experience

A stay at Bawah Reserve isn't just about luxury; it's about immersing oneself in the environment and local culture. Here, you'll be able to kayak through mangroves, take a guided jungle trek, or dive among coral reefs, all under the guidance of the reserve's expert conservation team.

Gastronomes will revel in the resort's farm-to-table dining, which utilizes produce from the on-site permaculture garden. The reserve even offers a Wellness Centre, where treatments are inspired by nature, offering rejuvenation of body and mind.
