Sumatra Ecolodge

Amazing location, good but cold ‘shower’ and toilet were good. Good snorkeling for turtles!! The owner truly is the best and speaks English well! Raqai was super helpful, even after we left the place. Pickup from airport available for fair prices. Snorkeling masks, water shoes/ canoe/supboards for rent.

Lots of mosquitoes (not the fault of the owner, but make sure to bring enough GOOD insect spray. The food was nice, but a bit more variation would be nice. There could be more hammocks at the stay.

Great host! A true ecolodge in a hidden paradise. Sure going to visit in future ✌️

There are no words to explain how wonderful it is! Forget about facilities and usual reviews, here you will get the experience which you were looking for… Paradise beach with lavish plantations, huts made from broken boats and coconut trees, turtles and coral reef just 5 metres from the shore. Ricky, the owner, is a guy who you will remember as your friend from Sumatra, somebody who you long to visit again. We really didnt want to leave this place!

Isolated rustic, recycled eco environment in a good location. Good breakfast, and nice opportunity to get to know other guests

Facilities are basic and possibly unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

We’ve had an amazing stay at Sumatra Ecolodge! It is obviously no luxury ( no hot water, almost no reception, no GENERATORS), but in exchange you get the pure relaxing experience in the middle of nowhere, where you can spend your time just sitting on a beach watching turtles taking a breath on the water surface. I wish we could spend a couple more days. Rakai is a great host and a person to talk to.

Sumatra Ecolodge is a stunning location in a beautiful part of the world. The reef in the bay is home to sea turtles, hermit crabs and many colourful fish which you can meet using the kayak or by snorkelling from the lodge. The food brought by the boatman each day is simple and tasty. You can ask ahead if you want vegetarian food. It was great to spend a few days in nature living in a more environmentally friendly way - something that we all must do to protect such beautiful places. We hope to be back.

This isn't so much a negative as a heads-up - the lodge has no internet connection (there is some on the beach and around the headland), no AC, no electricity in the rooms other than solar powered lights and lots of mosquitos - though the bed is under a mosquito net. This is part of the charm of the place but make sure you know what to expect.

What a wonderful stay at Sumatra Ecolodge ! The place is incredible, and Rakai such a good host ! Don't hesitate, you won't regret it 🤙

Little piece of paradise. Nice and quiet. Felt absolutely magical to just swim or look over the bay and see all the turtles there. Good spot for just chilling, enjoying nature or kayaking/snorkeling. The cabins are rustic but cute. Raqay is an awesome, generous guy.

It was absolutely beautiful. We canoed, snorkeled, swam, lounged etc. the food was fresh. However, the facilities are very primitive, so you have to be ok with that. No fans in the huts, but it was ok. The stairs to the hut was a bit scary. But apart from that it was beautiful! The owner was very helpful and kind.

The facilities. Barely any WiFi, although that can be a plus! Away from it all...

Very beautiful location, away from civilization

Takes a little time to understand how things (meals, etc.) work. Minimal explanation is given before or at arrival.
