Amy’s Villas sit on the beach near Krui, in South Sumatra, with a spectacular view of the Indian Ocean. Krui is off the beaten path, but not completely left behind.

Looking up Sumatra’s coastline, it’s easy to see how so many wave options exist in one place. This area supplies a wave for every swell, tide, and wind direction. It also has absorbed very little western influence, so come prepared for an experience.

What sets Amy’s Villas aside is the massive garden. The property encompasses an acre and accommodates only 10 guests, so you can have as much or as little interaction as you like.

I take things like surf, bathrooms, adventure, beds, food, and cold beer seriously. I hope you do too.
