Since our first visit in 1995, we’ve probably been here more than 20 times. From Sumatra all the way to Irian Jaya (or West Papua as it’s mostly called today) we’ve had our most memorable travel experiences, met wonderful people who later became friends and have seen things that most people will never get the chance to. Indonesia is a true paradise from A to Z. And our most recent destination was the norther most tip of Indonesia: a little island called Pulau Weh.

Especially during the Christmas holidays, princes surge through the roof in many places across Asia. We’re not willing to spend thousands of Dollars in a place that is then swamped by tourists, so if you’re looking for a tropical paradise, that’s still rather unknown and where you actually get your money’s worth, then this island off the coast of Aceh is the perfect spot.

Casa Nemo is definitely the best place to stay at on the island. Not only because the resort itself is amazing (review coming up), but also because the beach here is the nicest one on the island. And now I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

You'll find various hotels across Pulau Weh, but the largest cluster is in the village of Iboih near the best dive sites. It's a beautiful place to stay at, but also the most crowded and although the water is crystal clear, the stunning beaches can be found somewhere else.

The crystal clear turquoise water is just one of the highlights of Pulau Weh.

White sand, pristine waters, palm treed and no one around is what made Pulau Weh the perfect getaway spot for us.
