3 weeks agoTruly a spot of paradise. Recently spent 10 days on Pinang Island as part of an adventure retreat with friends and the experience it was magical to say the least. The staff took the best care of us and the two hosts, Jakub and Stephan, were incredible guiding us through various activities such as snorkelling, jungle exploring etc. and made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. Highly recommended for people craving not just another retreat but a true connection with nature.

5 months agoJust came back from a recent holiday at Pinang Island. This place is such a treat. Remote island shared with friends only, immersed in the nature, enjoying uncrowded waves just around the corner with more options of beautiful jungly spots just a little further by the boat. I noticed the crew was always handling the boards with extra care and went out of their way to make sure we have everything we need. Our guide Jacob was very knowledgeable and always ensured we got the most out of the swell, manager Petra was so lovely, creating a warm homie vibe and making sure everyone is happy. The local ladies cooked delicious and fresh meals for us every day. There is an option to go for a walk through the jungle, go snorkeling, spearfish or walk around the island. There’s also a beach volley course. Very cool place, unique experience, would definitely recommend.

6 months agoThe staff on the island were super friendly and helpful. Jakub,our surf guide, was an especially great guy, and all the staff were very welcoming. Playing volleyball with the locals after a day of surfing was a really good experience. Overall, this was a fantastic time for an Indonesia holiday destination.

5 months agoWhat an incredible place! Considering the isolation they have done an amazing job to build consciously and reach a high level of sustainability. The waves in the area are amazing, the water clarity incredible also! Staff & management did an amazing job to provide an awesome experience in a wild, raw part of Indonesia. 👌

6 months agoWe had a great stay on Pinang Island! This isn't a luxury resort, but it's a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with nature and experience the island's authentic charm. The natural beauty is breathtaking—stunning beaches, lush greenery, and a serene atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxing escape. Stephan and his team are attentive, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about making your stay memorable. If you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure that prioritizes tranquility and simplicity over extravagance, Pinang Island is the perfect getaway. Highly recommended for those who appreciate nature and culture!
