A SEAMLESS JOURNEY

Bawah Reserve is situated in the Anambas archipelago. This remote Indonesian island enclave in the western part of the South China Sea is closer to Malaysia than it is to the main Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Borneo.

That’s why the best way to get to Bawah is on our private seaplane. It flies seven days per week from Hang Nadim Airport on the Indonesian island of Batam, which is easily reached from Jakarta or Singapore. The flight time from Batam to Bawah is approximately 75 minutes.

Guests travelling to Bawah from Singapore are escorted from door to door, making the arrival journey seamless.

Your journey TO BAWAH

Guests are chauffeured to Singapore’s Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, then accompanied by a Bawah host on the pleasant 30-minute ferry ride to the island of Batam, Indonesia. Once guests have cleared Indonesian immigration they will be driven to the Hang Nadim Airport for a delightful 75-minute seaplane flight lands you in the resort’s lagoon.
Upon departure from Bawah, you travel back the same way to Singapore, first by seaplane to Batam and then by ferry to Singapore. Once you’re through immigration and customs, a private car will be waiting for you at the ferry terminal exit.
The return transfer fee to Bawah from Singapore is US$980 per person.

A private car service picks up guests from their hotel or residence in Batam, Indonesia. Alternatively, you can fly into Batam’s Hang Nadim Airport (BTH) for direct seaplane transfer to Bawah. Upon departure from Bawah, you’ll be flown back to Hang Nadim Airport, with the option of an onward flight or drop-off at your accommodation. The return transfer fee to Bawah from Batam is US$800 per person.

The flight from Indonesia’s  capital, Jakarta, to Batam’s Hang Nadim Airport takes just over an hour. Several direct flights are available daily. If coming from Bali, you will need to fly to Batam via Jakarta. Once you touch down in Batam, you will be met as you disembark and be escorted directly to our seaplane for the flight to Bawah.

We welcome guests who arrive on a private yacht. Note that reservations and an overnight stay are required for mooring, and that there are size limitations within our lagoons. Please contact our reservations team to discuss moorings.

When your chess game is on point, but the view steals the real checkmate! ♟️ 🏝️
It’s true… you will never regret the trips you did make. But those trips you never booked, that island you never reached, that seaplane you never tried, that overwater bungalow you dreamed of but never stayed in. These will be your biggest regrets. This is your reminder to book the trip, reserve those tickets. Make it happen. #noregrets
