FRESH ISLAND CUISINE in a tropical setting

Each of Bawah’s four restaurants and bars evokes a different rapport with its surroundings, but fresh, local ingredients prepared to perfection is what threads across them. Whether sitting under the gentle sway of the forest canopy or lounging sea-side, the Indonesian meets Mediterranean flavours and concoctions that are inspired by Bawah’s organic farms and fresh catches.

*At Bawah Reserve, all meals, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are included during your stay.

Tree tops restaurant

CULTURED CUISINE WITH A VIEW

Perched high in the rainforest canopy, Tree Tops sits where fine Asian-fusion cuisine, regional charm and breath-taking views intersect. Its vaulted bamboo architecture features an impressive light installation representing a bloom of jellyfish gracefully swaying above a grand oak table, perfect for entertaining groups of up to 20 guests.

Let the food, libations and magnificent landscape merge into a single sensation for all your senses.

The boat house

FAVOURITE PLATES WITH A LAID BACK VIBE

A sand-between-your-toes establishment, The Boat House promises delectable flavours with a side of stunning ocean views. Think fresh-caught seafood and gorgeous salads, barbecued meats, poke bowls and pizzas straight from our custom brick oven. Indulge your inner child by sitting at the swinging chairs, or opt for a sun-lounger at water’s edge. Come nightfall, join a barbecue dinner and ‘Starlit Cinema’ screening – the sky’s never felt so big before.

Where sustainability meets gastronomy

Grouper bar

POOLSIDE DRINKS & BITES

Named after the impressive fish that inhabits our lagoons, this whimsical venue serves as Bawah’s social hub. Located steps from the jetty, beach and infinity pool Grouper Bar offers a convenient meeting spot for an early morning coffee, mid-day nibbles or pre-dinner drinks. Relaxing beach bar by day and late-night lounge by night, The Grouper Bar provides the perfect backdrop for a well-crafted espresso, Champagne toasts or sipping a fine whisky at the end of the day.

Jules verne bar

THE SUMMIT HIDEAWAY

The Jules Verne bar sits at the top of the island’s pinnacle and is an homage to the 19th-century author whose fantastical remote islands have captured imaginations for decades.

Climb up the spiral staircase and unwind with a meticulously crafted classic or tropical cocktail – each an artwork that showcases fresh garden-to-glass ingredients like lemongrass, chilli, pandan and pink peppercorns.

How mesmerising it is to watch the seaplane take off from water, gliding over the surface and then smoothly swim through the sky. Take 1 min to watch this moment and feel instantly calmer. #seaplane #seaplanes #bawahreserve #bawah #hotel #island
