DELIGHT & SURPRISE
Our promise to delight and surprise ensures that each visit is a unique and unforgettable experience.



Located in a remote corner of the Anambas archipelago in Indonesia, Bawah Reserve comprises six islands and is privately owned.
Our mission is to offer meaningful experiences while responsibly conserving the pristine environment entrusted to us.
Immerse yourself in our authentic, unhurried lifestyle while embracing the many natural wonders of this remote paradise. Experience for yourself a revitalising sense of liberation from everyday life.



Bawah’s captivating atmosphere, reminiscent of a lost world, deeply influenced the architectural design approach. What’s more, its remote location was conducive to the resort infrastructure being constructed entirely by hand, without the use of heavy machinery. Fast-growing and sustainable bamboo was harvested in Java, prefabricated where appropriate, and then transported to Bawah for assembly.
Appropriately, the seclusion of this group of six islands alive with flora and fauna inspired a botanical expedition theme. Feel like an explorer as you discover unique ecosystems and connect with nature’s simple yet eternal pleasures.
Special attention was given to every aspect of the resort. From the intricately designed structures to the skilfully placed stones that pave the ground beneath your feet, every meticulous detail was executed by skilled local craftsmen. Right from the start, sustainability has been at the core of Bawah Reserve. Learn more about the building of Bawah Reserve from our blog.

If you think our lagoons look good from the beach, try looking at them through the floor of your boat 🛶 It’s like a glass-bottom bus, but with much better scenery and significantly fewer stops 😀
Would you look down or keep your eyes on the horizon? 👀

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our very first Journey to Wellbeing at Bawah Reserve 🙏
While Bawah has always been a sanctuary for rest, these inaugural 5-day immersive programs represent a new chapter for us. Built on six essential pillars: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and environmental - this retreat is designed as a comprehensive recalibration of your personal baseline.
From private movement sessions in hidden island locations to a personalized nutrition plan crafted by our Executive Chef, every element has been curated to move you from “burnout” to “balance.” In this first-of-its-kind experience, there are no TVs, no traffic, and no distractions, just the rhythm of the lagoons and the space to rediscover your peak state.
Join us in June - see link in bio for more details 🏝️
A billion-star hotel ✨ Far from the city lights, the sky over the Anambas reveals its true self. Stop for a moment on the wooden planks and look up. The Milky Way is our nightly guest of honor ❤️
A hammock, the ocean, and nowhere else to be 🤗 Just a good day at Bawah 🏝️
