The Overwater Bungalow is the most spectacular stay.
For principled eco credentials and a sense of lost world remoteness, there’s nowhere like Bawah.

Hotels Own Introduction
Bawah Reserve – A Private Island Retreat in the Anambas Archipelago
Tucked away in Indonesia’s remote Anambas Archipelago, Bawah Reserve stretches across six pristine private islands, just a 75-minute seaplane journey northeast of Singapore. Set in the heart of a 1,000-hectare marine conservation area, this untouched sanctuary is a haven for outdoor explorers, nature enthusiasts, and those in search of pure peace and seclusion.
Earth-Conscious Design, Seamless Comfort
Bawah Reserve features 36 secluded accommodations—including Tented Suites, Overwater Bungalows, and Private Villas—each offering the essence of a castaway escape, paired with refined comfort. Crafted with sustainability in mind and using locally sourced materials wherever possible, every space balances thoughtful design with barefoot luxury. Classic canopy beds, deep copper bathtubs, and seamless indoor-outdoor living invite you to feel both at home and worlds away.
Distinct Dining, Unified by Nature
Bawah’s four unique restaurants and bars each reflect a different connection to their natural surroundings—from dining beneath the forest canopy to unwinding beside the sea. Across all venues, the culinary philosophy remains the same: fresh, seasonal ingredients, many sourced from Bawah’s own organic gardens and the surrounding waters. Expect a harmonious blend of Indonesian flavors and Mediterranean flair, served with a deep sense of place.
At Bawah Reserve, time slows down and nature takes center stage—a rare, refined, and restorative escape unlike any other.
