Bawah Reserve
Where Luxury meets untouched Paradise
September 2025. In the heart of the remote Anambas Islands, far from the usual Southeast Asian routes, lies Bawah Reserve—a sanctuary where luxury and wilderness intertwine. With six untouched islands, pristine white beaches, emerald lagoons, and lush rainforest backdrops. Bawah Reserve is more than a destination: it is an invitation to a natural playground, a world where every sunrise promises a new adventure and every sunset lingers long in memory.
A Playground Between Land and Sea
Bawah Reserve welcomes those who delight in the unexpected. Beneath the sparkling water, snorkelers and divers discover vibrant coral gardens teeming with marine life. On land, guided jungle treks lead to breathtaking viewpoints that stretch far above the lagoons.
For those seeking a gentler rhythm, the day begins with sunrise yoga on the Aura Wellbeing Deck and afternoons are spent in restorative calm at the Aura Spa, where island-inspired treatments promise complete serenity. The senses are indulged too—whether at the Scent Bar, where tropical botanicals are blended into personal fragrances, or during the Indonesian Coffee Class, a journey through Indonesia’s coffee regions to the perfect cup.
When the Day Fades, the Island Magic Begins
The Castaway Picnic embodies the magic of Bawah like no other experience: sometimes an intimate gourmet affair with a private chef, sometimes a relaxed family picnic on a hidden beach. As the sun slowly dips below the horizon, the island transforms into a stage under millions of stars. Guests enjoy stargazing, beach cinema under the night sky, or the legendary Indonesian Beach BBQ, where flavors, fire, and community merge into an open-air feast.
At Bawah Reserve, every experience is grounded in respect for nature—turning each moment into something lasting: moving, connecting, and unforgettable.
„Bawah is not just a place you visit—it’s a place that stays with you,“
— Paul Robinson, COO of Bawah Reserve
„Our experiences are designed to connect guests with the spirit of the islands—whether through adventure, creativity, or quiet moments of reflection.“
