AMY'S PLACE SUMATRA
We sit smack dab on the beach near Krui, South Sumatra, with a front-row seat to the Indian Ocean (including one of the most hectic slabs you’ve ever seen).
If you look up the coastline, you’ll see why this place is a surfers dream. There’s a wave for every possible mood—big, small, fast, slow, left, right - Krui is your oyster, and also a bit off the beaten path. Thankfully, this place has dodged most of the Western world, so expect a genuinely local experience.
But what really makes Amy’s Place stand out? Well, it’s the ridiculously massive garden, and crazy amount of free space. We're talking an acre of grass, flowers, and coconut trees, begging you to jump in a hammock and pretend to read that book you brought ... Zzzzz
With space for only 14 guests, it’s like having your own private jungle paradise. I mean, who needs crowds when you can have this much room to wander around, get an outdoor massage in the gazebo, do cartwheels, get a frisbee stuck on the roof, pretend to be a sloth on the ocean view daybed, or just drink a cold beer next to / in the pool.
I’m serious about three things: good surf, clean bathrooms, and cold beer. I hope you are too.

How does one become a unicorn, in a field of horses?
While the property is an acre, we only have 6 rooms, all with big, comfy beds, real cotton linens, and fluffy towels. There's 4 double rooms because almost everyone likes sleepover vibes. Two of these rooms have an extra daybed incase you have a third wheel.
Sleepover vibes not your thing? We've got your back with 2 designated solo rooms just for you.
There's plenty more details in the tab dedicated to rooms.
HOW TO GET THERE
It ain't easy, but that's the fun part.
Fly into:
Bandar Lampung Airport (TKG) from Jakarta (CGK).
We'll organize your car transfer from TKG, and yes, it's a 6-hour drive, but look at it this way: crowd control. Plus, you'll have plenty of time to question your life choices.

Garuda is the most reliable, and by reliable, I mean the most expensive but hey, sometimes splurging on an on-time departure, and a smooth landing is worth it. Lion being the cheapest and least reliable. Just make sure you leave a solid 3-hour layover in Jakarta for international transfers, unless you’re into sprinting through airports. You do you.
