Just a few hours from Manila is a new private-island retreat that will leave you craving for more.
Nestled between Malaysia and Borneo stands Bawah Island, Indonesia’s up-and-coming resort. Boasting of a luxurious, eco-friendly experience, Bawah exudes the same vibrant energy as Bali sans the crowd. Located in an untouched marine conservation zone, the quaint island is surrounded by a lush expanse of greenery, three lagoons, and approximately 13 unique beaches.
Guests will be able to enjoy 35 different villas, all hand-made from natural local materials. Make sure to book a stay at their Deluxe Beach Suite ($3035), which comes with a relaxing beach-front lounging area. Also consider a stay in their Overwater Bungalows ($2860), which give you the luxury of enjoying endless views of the crystal-blue lagoon right above the water.
Bawah also has an expansive Asian-fusion menu at their Tree Top restaurant, and a variety of spa relaxation treatments at Aura, their holistic wellness center. Before your stay ends, it is a must that you cap the night with an open-air cinema experience under the stars—a luxury one rarely enjoys in the metro.
