GENERAL INFO
This resort is right on the beach in a picturesque, sheltered bay. The main building is an "A-Frame" double-storey open-plan designed with high ceilings and large screened windows to keep you cool and comfortable. The natural hardwood interior is comfortably furnished, and features Western-style toilets and hot showers. There's a spacious, covered veranda downstairs and a balcony upstairs with views over the garden and across the bay. We accomodate six guests dormitory-style on the top level, have three private double rooms on the lower level, and two separate double 'losmans' in the grounds. Cell phone reception is available and there is a DVD player with a selection of movies.
The well-equipped kitchen allows our staff to create the finest food on the island. We prepare plenty of seafood dishes using traditional Indonesian and Thai methods. We also prepare tasty vegetarian food, using organic produce.
The resort is equipped with two 20-ft speedboats moored in the bay just a few metres away. Our guides will get you to the closest wave in less than five minutes by boat. Other, more distant spots are also accessed by boat.
Depending on conditions, surfers may also choose to drive along the palm-fringed coast to access a variety of beach and
reef breaks.
LOCATION
Simeulue is situated off Sumatra's West coast, just north of the equator. Large ocean swells generated by storms off Antarctica travel across the Indian Ocean and break on the many reefs surrounding the resort.
FACILITIES
We can accomodate up to 16 guests, but generally limit the number of surfers to eight, unless by prior arrangement. We are also happy to accommodate non-surfing friends and family by prior arrangement. After a full day of surfing, fishing, diving or exploring, you can relax in our comfy lounges, listen to a CD or watch a DVD movie. You can also keep in touch via cell phone. We have laundry facilities, so there is no need to bring loads of clothes.
GETTING
THERE
Getting there is the easy part, no long boat or bus rides.
Medan, the capital of Sumatra, is the gateway to Simeulue. There are daily direct flights to the island and the flight takes 60-70 minutes on Susi Air or Merpati. You can fly direct to Medan from Singapore with Singapore Airlines and Air Asia; from Kuala Lumpur with Malaysian Airlines; from Jakarta with Garuda; and from Hong Kong on Air Asia. Several budget airlines such as Tiger, Lion and Jet Star Asia fly to Medan from various destinations in the region.
