Venue Features
The scene:
Beautiful, tranquil and private. Bawah Reserve rests in sheltered carefree seclusion 160 nautical miles (300km) northeast of Singapore in Indonesia’s remote Anambas Archipelago. Bawah offers the true meaning of all-inclusive luxury, by being the only retreat in Asia to include spa treatments, guest experiences and transport via its new amphibious seaplane.
Design:

Singapore architect, Sim Boon Yang, was tasked with creating a holistic design for Bawah, using sustainable sources of bamboo, found and recycled woods, and “A design ethos of optimum comfort while also minimizing energy requirements and having a light impact on the environment.” Melding contemporary taste with indigenous craftsmanship, he has delivered exquisite, exotic structures built on footings that require minimal interference with the natural terrain.

His inspiration for the soaring, organic curves of the roofs of the public pavilions, which cascade down the hill, was the shape and silhouette of the islands themselves, presenting a refreshing alternative in architectural style and five-star flair.

Food Restaurants, Cafes, Bars, Lounges
This section provides insights into our diverse culinary and social offerings.
Treetops
Perched under a jungle canopy, surrounded by tropical rainforest, with beautiful views of the lagoon, Treetops restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Let the food, the wine, and the magnificent landscape merge into a single sensation that provokes all your senses. If you are seeking fine dining with crimson coloured sunset views then Treetops should be your number one choice. Be sure to book ‘The Lookout’, at least once, for a private, romantic affair of lanterns, wine and dinner à deux.

The Boathouse
The Boat House, our gorgeous beach bar, is a little piece of paradise on the shores of our east beach that oozes a relaxed ambience. The venue is at one with its surroundings – boasting panoramic views overlooking the lagoon, with a contemporary, bohemian vibe punctuated with chilled lounge melodies. Enjoy lunch, dinner and drinks here and a fresh, creative and modern à la carte menu. A great bbq venue or relax in a swing chair with an ice cold beer.
The Grouper
Named after the large fish that inhabits our lagoons, the whimsically-decorated Grouper Bar is a convenient meeting place at any time, thoughtfully situated jettyside, beachside and poolside. This is a social hub with a chill lounge vibe, offering everything from coffee to cocktails, ambient music to aperitifs, Champagne and fine vintage wines to 18-year-old highland malts.

Jules Verne
Resting high above the tree canopies and transcending the imagination, Jules Verne Bar is the perfect place to ponder your great explorer pipe dreams. Here you can enjoy light snacks and soft drinks after an energetic hike through one of our forest trails; or celebrate the day with homegrown cocktails, meticulously muddled with a splash of panache by Jon Jo, our resident bartender. The panorama offers a wildlife viewing platform with a cocktail hour – watch the pied imperial pigeons frolicking in the trees or observe the antics of the fruit bats at sunset against the soundtrack of the waves.
