LOCATION
Where is Saroke Bay and Lagundri Bay?
You’ll find the picturesque Stroke Bay and Lagundri Bay nestled along the sunny southern coast of Nias Island. This lovely island is situated just south of Simeulue Island and north of the enchanting Telos Islands, all along the beautiful western shoreline of North Sumatra, Indonesia.
How to get there
If you are keen to score one of the most perfect waves on the planet, then the gateway to Nias Island is Medan in Sumatra. Here, flights run daily to and from Nias…seriously don’t bother with the slow ferry option. If you are coming to Jakarta, Have your trip will look like this.
What Else Should I Know?
The best time to catch some waves at Saroke Bay / Lagundri Bay is during the sunny and dry months, typically from April to October. It’s a popular spot, so expect to see lots of surf enthusiasts during this time, especially when there’s a swell on the horizon. The local surfers here are really skilled, but occasionally, you might encounter a bit of localism and lack of surf etiquette, which can be a bummer. Outside the water, some local photographers might not be too welcoming to outsiders capturing the beauty of the surf. If you wish to avoid the big crowds, consider visiting during the off-season or explore boat trips to Hinako Islands to other areas for a more peaceful surfing experience.

Beautiful place! I believe one of the best quality accommodations in this area.
Located right in front of Sorake beach surf point. Also there are a few local restaurants /... read more small supermarkets in walkable distance
The room felt just like home; super clean, spacious and comfortable. Bathroom was also clean and new. Hot water was always available
Laundry is available at the Oseda with additional fees.
Amenity is basic, just bath towels, so recommend to bring necessary toiletries, etc.

The family downstairs are lovely and helpful and cook great food. The penthouse is super modern and massive, with a huge beautiful balcony and stunning views from all the rooms! Steven is also a super helpful and kind host who will go out of his way to help you have a great stay. We can’t wait to go back!
