EARTH HONEYMOON
Bawah Reserve was created with sustainability front of mind and the resort is a pioneer in eco-friendly practices. These include solar water heating and desalination systems, fortnightly cleaning of its beaches, setting up a nursery to repopulate the islands' forests and creating a 500sq m permaculture garden. Bawah is the first island in Indonesia to be powered by a renewable microgrid and has recently been awarded a 5-star signing blue certificate from WWF, continuing its commitment to responsible tourism. Eco-conscious couples who choose the Earth Honeymoon option, will share their experience with Mother Nature, allowing them to feel restored whilst reducing their carbon footprint. During their trip, newlyweds will hike through Bawah's lush forest to a private beach picnic lunch, harvest fresh vegetables and spices from the hotel's permaculture gardens to use in an Indonesian garden-to-plate cooking class. They will help maintain the spectacular surroundings as they assist the Bawah team collecting debris that may have washed ashore during a morning beach walk and embrace the local culture with a private batik painting class, showcasing the heritage craft. A conservation scuba dive with the resort's inhouseMarine Biologist to track the progress of coral regrowth is also included, alongside a moonlightmeditation and yoga session and private sunset dining experience featuring a four-course vegetarian dinner with wine to enjoy from the Lookout at Treetops – high up in the canopy and surrounded by trees.
