The tribal community is not only dependent on marine resources, but also almost entirely live in the sea. They generally build a house on top of a shallow sea, not on the beach.

Observations at the Wakatobi Bajo village showed that most homes are no longer physically located directly on the water. The possibility that the lower house had water began backfilled with sand and coral rubble. Intake of these rocks are sometimes considered to be a problem, because it was feared would damage breeding habitat and reef fish and other marine life.

Initially believed that the Bajo tribe lived entirely on a boat that was given walls and roofs of sago palm leaves (a type of palm tree), called 'palema'. These boats are not motorized, so to move only rely on human power with oars tool. Clarity of its origin a topic of debate to this day. Some say that they are from the South China Sea, the Philippines, or a derivative Sameng parts of the Malay Peninsula. As a nomadic tribe in the sea, most likely not leave artifacts or physical evidence, so that its origin is still debated speculative. In development now Bajo society at large has lived in several locations, by building houses on stilts in the shallow sea.
