Go back to the days before Indonesia became the tourist hot spot it is today: Untouched beaches, friendly locals and waves to die for. Located on one of North Sumatra’s outer islands, Mahi-Mahi is tucked away from the crowds on a stretch of pure white beach, which offers some fantastic surf. Mahi-Mahi Surf Resort is an all-inclusive ecologically minded surf resort located on Simeulue Island, in the Aceh province in northern Sumatra. They provide you with access to surf, marine, and jungle adventures and they give back through initiatives that achieve positive social, environmental, and economic impact in the Simeulue and Banyak landscapes.

What You Love
There are so many good things to say about Mahi Mahi surf resort
The food was authentic, healthy and delicious. The surf was consistent and the surf guides gave great guidance, plus lots of activities for non surfers. We enjoyed the yoga and the staff were absolutely amazing too. We loved our stay and left completely relaxed a rejuvenated. We hope to visit again. Such a peaceful place. Thank you for everything! Nick and Vic
Spent an incredible week here.
Loved the food, waking up to the sound of waves, the golf, the pool. When conditions didn’t suit the peak, the surf guides made sure we got waves everyday, mostly to ourselves.
Mahi is magic!
I couldn’t recommend more highly. I had an incredible stay, and everyone here is so warm that I felt like family. Aude made sure I had all the amenities and adventures I was craving. She is so on point and made me feel so cared for. Qowi and Dafi in the office styled me for travel bookings and made sure everything was smooth sailing. Gito, Boy and Mauwadi so helpful with rides and scooters many thanks. Thanks to Hani, Fani, Asriani, Rosi and everyone in the kitchen serving delicious meals made with so much love. Amazing massage on offer anytime you desire. The water team is so caring and made sure I had a blast for my level of surfing. Huge thanks to Spencer, Roark, Rambo, Zaca and Jorick with the excellent footie too. Water team is so helpful to get you waves and knowledgeable and talented I’m so appreciative for their guiding me and helping me improve my surfing. Yoga was divine the shala here is so special. Ieva’s yoga therapy classes were so therapeutic and healing while Tacias somatic grounding classes were a balm for my heart and soul and body. Tacia has such a great vibe and just loved her energy and time spent with me all around was above and beyond. This place is a gem and a treasure. I will forever be grateful to Mahi and the whole crew of souls who make this luxurious resort paradise for all who enter.
Incredible uncrowded waves, lots of variety!
Skilled and knowledgeable surf guides, friendly staff, amazing food! The attention to detail was unreal, best surf trip of my life. Deluxe accomodation, perfect waves, boat trips, diving, fishing, pool beers on sunset, the list goes on. Was a mission to get there and home but was made so much easier thanks to perfect wave. The flights, hotel, transfers everything was made so easy and took the stress out of it. So stoked can’t wait to go back! The whole trip my mind was blown and I said every day I am the luckiest girl alive. So glad I went with perfect wave and chose the best destination.
Surfing Highlights
The Peak
The Peak is a fun perfect left and right which has both hollow barrel sections and nice walls. An easy paddle out from the beach and a flat reef makes it fun for all.
T-Bags
This wave will have you frothing pretty quickly. The access to this mesmerizing right hander is pretty easy but requires a boat.
Dylan’s Right
Dylan’s Right is a hollow fast prefect right barrel which breaks over shallow reef on the inside of a large south west facing bay. Breaks best in larger swells, but produces consistent fun, fast waves.
Thailands
On its day it’s a super fun wave that offers long fun walls and even some tube sections

The Resort
The bungalows are located on 10,000m² of garden paradise, fronted by a white sand beach, and directly in front of an epic A-Frame peak – ‘Sumatran Trestles’ – one of the most consistent waves in Indonesia. Over 10 surf spots within 30 minutes of the bungalows provide uncrowded waves for beginners, intermediate surfers and professionals.
The Location
Once upon a time, Indonesia's Sumatra was one of those forgotten corners of the world, where only the most seasoned travelers set foot. With the international tourism industry now well established on the island, those days seemed gone. Mahi-Mahi has sought to revive the classic Sumatra experience with its collection of isolated bungalows on one of Sumatra's outer islands, Simuelue.
Surfing
Simeulue Island, located 150km from mainland Sumatra has uncrowded point breaks, beach breaks, reefs, off-shore islands, and is for the adventurous spirit. The Peak – the most consistent wave on the island – is in front of the resort and viewable from all rooms and common spaces, but is only one of many surf options.
