Located on the western tip of Sumatra, Indonesia, is a protected tropical paradise hidden from the rest of the world. Our secluded location, surrounded by pristine nature, makes it an ideal place to host various retreats and cater for surfers and adventurous families. Pinang Island is a unique blend of Indonesian sanctuary, sustainable living, and wildlife conservation, truly like no other place on Earth.
The Banyak Islands boast some of the finest surf spots in Indonesia without the overcrowding found elsewhere. We are just minutes away from the Bay of Plenty and Treasure Island, the unspoilt world-class surf spots. Not suitable for beginners, but perfect for intermediate and advanced surfers, over 15 waves offer an ideal balance of challenge and manageability. Our friend and expert surf guide will check the conditions daily and take you to the best breaks, including some secret spots known only to a few.
What about having your own island just for you and your community? We specialise in hosting various retreats and offer a tailor-made service. Whether you are a retreat leader or our guest, you will find heaven here.

We provide 10 or 11-night stay so you can fully enjoy what Banyak Islands and Pinang have to offer.
We’ve built five tropical cottages right on the beach. Driftwood bungalow accommodates 2-3 people, the Family cabin can accommodate 4-6 people and three Coconut bungalows accommodates 2 people.
Food is prepared in a separate kitchen by our friendly staff three times a day using local ingredients. Solar energy and a generator power your phone and we also offer Wi-Fi free of charge.
The easiest way to Pinang is by flying to Medan, Kualanamu International Airport.
There is a direct flight to Medan from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok, Bali or Jakarta. Upon arrival in Medan, a short flight takes you to Nias, from where we take care of you. For the purest experience, travel is a necessity.
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, equipped with advanced safety measures, and twin 200 HP engines 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.
Become a castaway and experience a unique Indonesian retreat with rejuvenating yoga sessions, jungle trekking, secluded beaches, snorkelling, surfing, 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.
Get lost in the Wet Lands, climb Clove Hill, meditate near Giant Bringin, or explore Bamboo Forest. Pinang boasts all these features and more.
