Bawah Reserve

Nestled in Indonesia’s pristine Anambas Archipelago, just a 75-minute seaplane journey from Singapore, Bawah Reserve is a serene escape for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and wellness travellers.

Spread across six lush islands, three turquoise lagoons, and 13 powder-white beaches, this exclusive 100-hectare reserve is both untouched and unforgettable.

Set within a 1,000-hectare marine conservation zone, Bawah Reserve is a true eco-paradise.

The main island, Bawah, offers 66 hectares of rainforest, six scenic hiking trails, and a hilltop peak rising 150 metres above sea level — perfect for sunrise seekers.

Stay in one of 36 thoughtfully designed, earth-conscious stand-alone suites, each combining rustic charm with modern comfort.

Whether you choose an Overwater Bungalow, Beachfront Suite, or Garden Villa, all accommodations include:

• Air-conditioned, canopied bedrooms with ceiling fans
• Private verandahs with sweeping island views
• Indoor/outdoor bathrooms with rain showers and deep-soak tubs
• Complimentary minibar with local snacks, tea, and sparkling water
