T
he CEO Magazine has long been friends and partners with
the incredible people at Change Makers Rule Breakers,
an inspirational group of entrepreneurs from around the
world who come together to spark positive change in the world.
But this powerful clan doesn’t just chew the fat over a long
lunch. A trip with ‘CMRB’, as it is known to members, involves
being whisked away to some of the most amazing resorts and
private islands in the world, including Sir Richard Branson’s
home, Necker Island.
So, when an opportunity comes up to visit the stunning
Bawah Island for a few nights to mingle with some incredible
thought leaders, saying yes requires zero thought.EAST OF SINGAPORE
Bawah Island sits pretty, in crystal clear warm water, some
160 kilometres east of Singapore. Getting there is a breeze
thanks to the VIP service of the team at Bawah. A short ferry
ride from Singapore followed by a private seaplane flight over
the South China Sea, and Bawah beckons invitingly, with its
lush green jungle and tranquil water, which seems tailor-made
for some of the best snorkelling in the world.
The water is teeming with an array of colourful fish and
other unique sea creatures that swim happily among immaculate
coral reefs. Having appeared in CNN.com’s top five tropical
island paradises in Asia, Bawah doesn’t disappoint. »WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY CAME
