is located on the western tip of Sumatra, just 15 minutes away from unspoilt prime Banyak Islands surf location. We are a special blend of Indonesian adventure, self-sufficient living, sustainable farming, and wildlife conservation.
Pinang is like no other place on Earth. It’s a protected tropical paradise hidden from the rest of the world. Our mission is to provide one of the most authentic and enriching travel experiences in an environmentally sensitive manner.
Prioritizing safety above all else, Pinang Island ensures maximum security for both maritime and island adventure. Our sturdy fiber boat, led by an experienced and certified captain, and equipped with advanced safety measures, provides a safe voyage at sea. On the island, we regularly clean coconut trees, eliminating the risk of falling coconuts in guest areas. Your safety is our commitment.
We’ve built two tropical cottages right on the beach. Driftwood bungalow accommodates two people while the second is a family cabin that can accommodate four to six people.
Food is prepared in a separate kitchen by our friendly staff three times a day using local ingredients. Solar energy and a diesel generator power your phone and laptop. We also offer wi-fi free of charge.
The Banyak Islands boast some of the finest surf spots in Indonesia without the overcrowding found in other places.
Become a castaway and experience a unique Indonesian retreat with jungle trekking, secluded beaches, rejuvenating yoga sessions, snorkelling, skurfing, diving excursions, fishing, spearfishing adventures, and the opportunity to watch turtles nest on Bangkaru Island.
Our ultimate goal is to become self-sufficient, supply our nutritional needs and create opportunities for fair share within the region.
Key to fulfilling these aspirations is our internationally designed Permaculture Centre.
