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.
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.
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.

Here at Bawah Reserve, we are the proud home to Indonesia’s largest floating solar panel farm: 18 floating solar platforms – enough to provide the majority of Bawah’s electricity requirements! This immediately reduces our reliance on fuel, saving around 468 litres of diesel per day, or 170, 746 litres each year. It also promises a significant reduction in C02 emissions on our part. In fact, our annual saving on CO2 emissions is equivalent to flying from London to Jakarta 261 times! #earthday2025 #earthday #earth #renewable #renewablenergy #planetearth #solar #solarpanels #floatingsolar #solarfarm #swimsol #indonesia #island #bawah #bawahreserve
“The Boat House Bar is part of the beautiful Bawah Reserve. It’s considered a secret tip in Indonesia. Surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery, you’ll find your toes swaying in the sand while seawater gently laps in the crystal blue lagoon. The ambience is particularly charming. Because the rainforest not only surrounds the Boat House Bar. It also provides the drift wood from which parts of the furnishings are made. Regional ingredients are used. The menu features Mediterranean and Indonesian dishes.” @falstaff.travel providing our Hoziers yell moment! @falstaff.magazin
