Simeulue Surf Camp

Simeulue Surf Camp sits on the beachfront of Busung Bay, a remote corner of Northern Sumatra's Simeulue Island. The camp consists of three traditional-style sea view bungalows set within a large tropical garden, overlooking a saltwater pool and the bay beyond. The main draw here is Dylan's Point, a hollow right-hander breaking just three minutes from the property. When it's on, you get barreling waves right at your doorstep. Beyond Dylan's, the island has multiple quality breaks including The Peak, Tea Bags, and several reef setups that remain relatively uncrowded compared to the Mentawais or Bali. Simeulue feels like Indonesia twenty years ago. The island has a population of around 80,000 scattered across small villages, no traffic jams, no tourist bars, and no restaurants serving foreign food. Life here runs on island time. Between surfs, you can ride scooters to explore deserted beaches, trek through jungle to waterfalls, go snorkeling or fishing, or just sit on your bungalow deck watching the sunset over the bay. The bungalows were built using traditional methods but finished to Western standards - air conditioning, hot water showers, mosquito nets, and proper bathrooms. The camp accommodates a maximum of ten guests, which keeps the waves and the atmosphere relaxed.
