# Top 20 memorable holiday moments revealed

5 / Jul / 2023 0 Comments.  32 minute read Written by: [Bawah Reserve](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/author/bawah-reserve)

![Enjoying sunset with food, drinks and friends tops the charts.](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Sunset%20dining%20on%20jetty.jpg)

What are your holiday moment must-haves? It seems wherever you are in the world, similar memorable moments tick the boxes! Topping the chart for Singaporeans, Brits and Americans alike are enjoying drinks or food with a view, and watching the sunrise or sunset with family and friends. Also right up there is the opportunity to taste local delicacies.  We promise all these and more! 

![guest-cocktails-at-boat-house-beach-sunset](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/guest-cocktails-at-boat-house-beach-sunset.jpg?width=8500&height=4558&name=guest-cocktails-at-boat-house-beach-sunset.jpg)

**Tick  3 top boxes in one night!**

- watching the sunset with your family or friends, 
- while having a drink, and
- tasting the local delicacies. 

![happy_male_chef_setting_barbeque_fire_in_beach_boat_house_east_overwater_suites_background](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Food%20and%20Beverage%20%20-%20Treetops,%20Grouper,%20Boathouse/happy_male_chef_setting_barbeque_fire_in_beach_boat_house_east_overwater_suites_background.jpg?width=8256&height=6192&name=happy_male_chef_setting_barbeque_fire_in_beach_boat_house_east_overwater_suites_background.jpg)

Bawah’s BBQ nights at the Boathouse - themed “A taste of the Anambas” or “ Seafood favourites” - take place *Bakar-bakaran di Bawah purnama,* meaning“BBQ under a full moon”. Watch the sunset as you sip on delicious cocktails and explore the exotic flavours of local delicacies. Try *nasi goreng sotong*, Indonesian fried rice with spicy chilli paste, prawns, squid, egg, *kecap*, coriander, galangal and green onion. Or savour *sate lilit*, minced fish with spice paste, chilli, ginger, shallots and lime leaves on lemongrass skewers, served with *sambal ijo*, a green chilli sauce.

A recent OnePoll survey commissioned by [Contiki](https://www.contiki.com/en-us/activity/make-every-moment-count/us-survey), the social travel company for 18-35-year-olds, has revealed how holidaymakers from three nationalities rank their Top 20 must-have experiences:

| Leaving your comfort zone | 7 | 8 | 4 |
| Getting the full tour of a beautiful city | 8 | 10 | 14 |
| A running joke or funny event that becomes a running joke  | 9 | 7 | 2 |

**Let us help you tick off several more of these Top 20:**

Stay in [Singapore](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/what-to-do-in-singapore-with-5-hours-or-less?hsLang=en) before heading to Bawah, and **see a famous landmark** like the classic [Raffles Hotel](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/where-to-stay-in-singapore?hsLang=en) or the iconic Marina Bay Sands, the world’s most Instagrammed hotel. Then **tick something off your bucket list** with a thrilling [seaplane](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-our-seaplane?hsLang=en) takeoff and landing at beautiful Bawah Reserve’s idyllic lagoon.

While you’re here, you can **do something that takes you out of your comfort zone**,like learning to dive at the [Bawah Reserve PADI dive centre.](https://www.bawahreserve.com/play/scuba-diving/) Or **climb a mountain** - in the heart of our wilderness you’ll encounter the primary jungle,  a rich ecosystem teeming with **animals in their natural habitat**. Follow one of our three trails, otherwise, **take a detour or get lost, only to find an amazing view** or a deserted beach. Bawah has several magniﬁcent lookouts, perfect for [**being proposed to.**](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/swoonworthy-marriage-proposal-ideas?hsLang=en) Finally, grab a selfie of that **holiday romance kiss** and then **take a swim in the sea** to cool down.
