Travel<br />

Day 2<br />

Start the day with a hike! Hike through<br />

the virgin primary forest which has never<br />

been cut or burnt with trees as high as<br />

80 metres.<br />

In the evening, when the waters are a<br />

tad cooler, get your gears and go<br />

snorkelling in pristine waters. Bawah is<br />

an official marine conservation area in<br />

which fishing, anchoring and collecting<br />

of any marine life is forbidden. As a<br />

result, fish and corals flourish in the clear<br />

water lagoons. Precautions have also<br />

been put in place to deter fishermen<br />

from fishing inside the lagoon. As such,<br />

the island supports those who fish<br />

responsibly, by purchasing fish from the<br />

local fishermen for their team of workers.<br />

Day 3<br />

Make the most of your private and quiet<br />

escapade by lazing under the sun or if<br />

you rather not get more tan on your<br />

already tanned skin, sip cocktails by the<br />

beach under large umbrellas and watch<br />

nature’s best creations in all its glorious<br />

and untainted beauty. The island is also<br />

home to 35 luxurious and eco-designed<br />

villas made of sustainable materials like<br />

bamboo and recycled teak which come<br />

with a viewing balcony.<br />
