First Impact Communications is excited to announce that it has been appointed to represent Bawah Reserve, an exclusive private island sanctuary in Indonesia’s remote Anambas archipelago. Spanning six pristine islands within a 1,000-hectare marine conservation area, the resort was built upon the tenets of authenticity, excellent service and respect for natural wonders.
Since opening in 2018, Bawah Reserve has pioneered sustainable hospitality through its Earth-first philosophy, earning global recognition for its environmental initiatives. The main island features 36 standalone Tented Suites, Overwater Bungalows, and Villas, constructed with locally sourced materials including recycled copper, sustainably grown bamboo, and island stone. Complementing the main resort, the exclusive Elang Private Residence offers six cliffside lodges available for complete island buyouts. Just a minute’s boat ride from the main jetty, this intimate retreat features dedicated butler service, personalized dining experiences, a private spa and lawn tennis court.
The resort’s natural paradise encompasses three pristine lagoons, 13 white-sand beaches, and 100 hectares of untouched forest. Guests can indulge in diverse culinary experiences across four distinctive venues: from Tree Tops’ semi-fine dining in the rainforest canopy to the barefoot luxury of The Boat House by the ocean. The Grouper, a beach bar by day and late-night lounge by night and Jules Verne bar inspired by the 19th century author whose fantastical remote islands have captured imaginations of readers for decades, complete the gastronomic journey. For unique dining experiences, guests can enjoy barbecue nights, castaway picnics, paddleboard breakfasts, and sunset lagoon cruises.
At the heart of Bawah Reserve lies Aura Spa & Wellbeing, a natural retreat designed to restore balance to both body and mind. Aura Spa offers a range of rejuvenating treatments specially curated to melt away stress and enhance well-being, from traditional massages to sea salt scrubs every treatment aims to deliver maximum relaxation. Aura Wellbeing offers a variety of daily movement, yoga and meditation classes, an air-conditioned gym and private one-to-one sessions, all designed to help guests connect with nature and cultivate a sense of inner peace.
In term of things to do, the resort offers covers activities above, below and beyond the waters. Guests can chose from snorkeling, diving, kayaking, paddleboarding, lawn tennis and croquet, hiking through untouched forests, stargazing, tours of the organic gardens, cocktail classes and health tonic workshops, wine tasting, whiskey and chocolate pairing, Indonesian cooking classes, batik workshops, beach games, wild swim challenge, underwater clean, corral transplantation, music meditations, dance lessons, starlight cinema, treasure hunt, survivor experience or scent making.
