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.

From tiny flippers to ocean gliders 🐢
Did you know that only about 1 in 1,000 sea turtle hatchlings survive to adulthood? That’s why our conservation work at Bawah Reserve is so vital.

Through the dedicated work of our marine biologists and the @anambasorg, we relocate nests to our protected hatchery to ensure these little ones get a safe head start. Watching them take their first swim is a moment our guests never forget and seeing them return to our lagoons as adults is the ultimate reward ❤️
