Spend seven nights on a tropical island in the Banyak Islands, with accommodation, three meals daily and local surf boat access included. This flexible stay suits intermediate and experienced surfers, as well as couples and friends travelling with non-surfing partners. Start with breakfast, head out with the local team when conditions are suitable, then return for meals and time to relax by the beach. Snorkelling, paddleboarding and jungle walks provide plenty to enjoy between sessions.
The Banyak Islands are a remote archipelago located off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. This unspoiled region is a hidden gem, known for its lush tropical forests, crystal-clear waters, and diverse marine life. Diamond Island Eco Resort is situated on one of these pristine islands, offering guests a serene retreat surrounded by nature.
Pristine Beaches: The resort’s location provides direct access to the beach, allowing guests to swim, surf, and snorkel right at their doorstep.
Unspoiled Nature: The surrounding waters are teeming with marine life, and the forests offer opportunities for nature hikes and exploration.
Remote and Peaceful: Being off the beaten path, the resort is the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Whether you want to explore the untouched beauty of the islands or simply relax on the beach, Diamond Island Eco Resort is the perfect base for your island adventure.
The starting price is USD 770 per person for seven nights in a private beachfront glamping tent. Jungle rooms and beachfront bungalows are available at the occupancy-based rates in our separate price sheet. The programme follows the weather, tides and guests’ interests, with no fixed number of lessons or guaranteed surf sessions. This is a surf-access package for independent surfers, with local guidance rather than a beginner surf school.
Transfers, flights, distant surf excursions, board hire and other separately charged extras are excluded. Longer stays, families, groups and mainland Sumatra extensions can be quoted individually.
Getting to Diamond Eco Island Resort is easier than you may think. Although remote, it is still easier to get to than many other islands, such as the Mentawi. You can take a ferry or flight to the nearby town and then take a boat to the island. Our team is happy to help you arrange transportation to and from the island. We want to make sure you enjoy your adventure from start to finish!
