Located at the western most tip of Indonesia, Pulau Weh (Pulau = Island) has all the pre-requisites of a perfect diving location. Situated on the Andaman Sea, with the Indian Ocean to the west, and the the Malacca Strait to the east, this island is at the point where the deep nutrient-rich ocean currents from the Indian Ocean rise up to meet warm and well-lit waters: the perfect recipe for marine life. ![]() Fringing house reefs make it the perfect place for making extra unguided dives at any time - just walking into the sea from your bungalow as well as a great place to bring non-diving friends who enjoy snorkeling. October to April is the best season here so our trip at the end of November is perfectly timed with little chance of rain showers, water temperatures average 28 ~ 29 degrees Celsius, and visibility ranges 30m to 40m can be expected. Apart from its underwater splendour, Pulau Weh is also noted for its white sandy beaches and pristine eco-system, a must see for any nature lover. To top it all off, PulahWeh is a melting pot of different cultures, and home to very friendly local people. A visit to Pulau Weh will most definitely guarantee visitors the quintessential tropical paradise experience.
To preserve this pristine eco system, the Indonesian Government has declared an estimated 60 square kilometers of inland and sea around the tropical island as wild life protection area. On and around the island are two protected areas namely, Pulau Weh Marine Park (2,600 ha) and Iboih Recreation Park (1,300 ha). Our AccomodationNew duplex cottages are spacious, with good spring beds (Twin and King size beds available), a wall fan, modern bathroom, pantry with kettle, cups & plates, a fridge and rinsing basin, a wide wooden veranda with sliding doors, facing the sea and beach. Free wireless internet in the rooms.
Food and DrinkOur resort has no restaurant but prefers to concentrate on providing excellent accommodation and diving facilities. Close to the resort there are around 6 restaurants to choose from. There's choice from local Acehnese food, more general Indonesian dishes, tropical fruit salads and some basic Western food such as pancakes, sandwiches, fries and fried chicken etc. It is also possible to order other special meals beforehand, such as BBQ Fish. Cheap and tasty original Acehnese "family food" is available on the nearby road junction.
All meals, tea, coffee and soft drinks on one day, on average, will cost most people around 10 Euro in total (8 GBP 13 USD). For example, a Pancake, a big plate of fruit salad or an egg-cheese sandwich all costs around Rp 12:000 (0.85 GBP 1.3 USD). A Coca Cola is Rp 7.000, (50 pence, 80 cents).
