Paradise Found, “For the only few”

1. Open since 2018

Since opening its doors in 2018, Bawah Reserve has captured the hearts of media and travellers alike, earning itself the alias ‘Asia’s eco-luxury private island’ and taking out a slate of international accolades, including a spot in the prestigious World Travel Magazine’s ‘luxury 50 list’ for 2018.

The Indonesian paradise is celebrated for its natural beauty and sustainability practices, as well as its impressive level of luxury, but a key chapter of the resort’s story that’s not commonly told is that of the prolific foundation it supports.

2. Anambas Foundation

The Bawah Anambas Foundation was independently established in 2018 to rehabilitate and conserve the marine and terrestrial life across the six islands that make up Bawah Reserve, and the wider Anambas archipelago, which comprises more than 250 islands across seven sub-districts.

Working closely with local government; non-government organisations; academic and research institutions; as well as private organisations with the same ethos, the foundation manages a land-based conservation program and a marine conservation program aimed at protecting coral and fish on the surrounding barrier reef.

3. Eco-friendly approach

The environmentally-conscious resort rests in a previously uninhabited marine conservation area in sheltered, carefree isolation, and is enveloped by lush tropical greenery, unbelievably clear water and coral reefs.

The resort’s eco-friendly approach extends across all operations, from its permaculture to its products: ocean-friendly sun cream, eco-friendly laundry detergent, and no plastic bottles. All waste is recycled; all paper is mulched; food waste is composted, and crushed glass is used in the water filtering process.
