Bawah Reserve

A two-hour boat ride from Singapore, this marine sanctuary scatters thirty-five overwater suites and beach villas across lagoons so clear you count the sergeant majors from your deck. Three islands remain untouched jungle; two are reserved for nesting hawksbill turtles. Meals are Indonesian coastal—grilled snapper, turmeric rice, sambal made from chilies grown on-island—served wherever you drop anchor.
