Pulau Weh
Female Malaysia|May 2019

On the Northern Tip of Sumatra Lies This Volcanic Island in Aceh, Which Is One of Indonesia’s Best-kept Secrets. Soraya Nicholls Reveals Five Different Things That You Can Do Over a Weekend Here.

Pulau Weh

IT’S NATURALLY SO BEAUTIFUL From coast to coast, Pulau Weh is picturesque and filled with turquoise blue waters, white sandy beaches and lush jungles. Journeying around the island on a becak is the best way to soak in the incredible views of the island. As far as the eye can see, there are plenty of vantage points for you to stop by at for that breathtaking view. Also, make your way to the Pria Laot Waterfall that requires you to take a short 20- to 30-minute hike through the jungle.

You don’t have to try hard to land yourself at a beach cos there’s no such thing as having to fight crowds of people to get that Insta-perfect shot here! Long beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Located about three kilometers northwest from Iboih village, you can expect a long stretch of white sandy beach and crystal-clear calm water, making it the perfect place to go for a swim. Samur Tiga, Iboih and Gapang are a few of the other beaches worth visiting.
