Bawah Reserve, one of Indonesia’s most exclusive off-grid eco resorts, recently ran a competition to ‘Win the ultimate Bawah Reserve Honeymoon’ for couples who had to cancel their honeymoon due to COVID-19.
Valued at $10,000 USD, the competition was judged by Australian influencers Pia Muehlenbeck and Kane Vato, who spent their honeymoon at Bawah Reserve in 2019. After thousands of entries and much deliberation, the winners were announced as intensive care and anaesthesiologist doctors, Aatif and Farzana from London, United Kingdom!
As you can imagine, not only their wedding but lives in general were hugely affected by COVID-19 over the last six months. Their wedding plans were cancelled, replaced by a small ceremony streamed to family over zoom, and the surprise honeymoon organised by Aartif was cancelled in its entirety as well. In-between all of this, they had a 2 month period of complete self isolation from each other and their families (due to the nature of their work) and Aartif also ended up contracting the virus.
It goes without saying that Aatif and Farzana are certainly very deserving winners of Bawah Reserve’s generous prize. You can view the video of Bawah Reserve’s Chief Operating Officer, Paul Robinson, sharing the exciting news here.
