PADI SCUBA DIVING AT BAWAH RESERVE

Nestled in the Anambas Islands, Bawah Reserve is a scuba diver’s paradise. It offers access to Indonesia’s rich marine diversity, including an impressive 253 fish species and 63% of the coral. As one of Indonesia’s first marine conservation areas, it provides a haven for flourishing coral reefs and abundant marine life. With 12 nearby dive sites featuring gentle sandy slopes descending to 25-30 meters, divers of all levels can explore this underwater wonderland. Our PADI-certified five-star diving centre, led by dedicated marine biologists, fosters a love for the ocean and its inhabitants among both children and adults.

Surprisingly, Bali — the island synonymous with paradise — doesn’t actually have any true overwater bungalows. 
Overwater bungalows are the ultimate symbol of barefoot luxury — villas built on stilts directly above the ocean, with steps leading down into clear blue water. It’s a concept that has flourished in Tahiti and the Maldives, where private lagoons and calmer seas make such builds possible, but less so in Indonesia.
It has been said that in Bali Indonesian law, states that the sea belongs to the state, which means no private resort can legally construct accommodation directly over public waters. Regardless of the truth behind this, the true reality is that Bali is renowned for its surfing- and because of the high strong waves, this means that geographically, the Bali coastline is not suitable for overwater construction. 
Enter Bawah Reserve — Where your overwater dreams can come to life
Because while Bali does many things beautifully it is not the only place you need to consider, there is another location in Indonesia: Bawah Reserve, where you can actually sleep above the sea.
