Located in the Anambas archipelago in Indonesia, the island is accessible via a ferry from Singapore to Batam, followed by a private seaplane to Bawah.
Bawah Private Island, a collection of five islands located two hours from Singapore, is set to open mid-2017.
Located in the Anambas archipelago in Indonesia, the island is accessible via a ferry from Singapore to Batam, followed by a private seaplane to Bawah.
Bawah will feature 35 eco-designed villas, allowing for a maximum of 70 guests on the island at any one time. The lagoon-wrapped resort will comprise 21 Beach Villas, 11 Water Villas and three Garden Villas.
All tented villas and public areas are made of sustainable materials such as bamboo and recycled teak, while the bath and shower areas are constructed of recycled copper.
Features at Bawah Private Island will include a treetop ‘Club House' with a viewing balcony, a yoga pavilion, a beachfront infinity pool and a spa.
At Bawah, no heavy machinery is allowed on the island so every mechanical process – from recycling stones to breaking boulders for building material – has to be done by hand.
Bawah is an official marine conservation area in which fishing, anchoring and collection of any marine life is forbidden.
