Island Life
Pulau Weh is a 50-minute boat ride away from
Banda Aceh. Upon arrival you will find many
local drivers waiting to take you to the resort
of your choice. Casanemo, which caters to
different budgets, is a resort well known for its
welcoming staff and comfortable rooms. There
are options of a backpacker’s hostel, bungalows,
individual rooms or apartment units to choose
from. Facing the Andaman Sea, the breath-taking
view from the resort is definitely worth every
penny. Casanemo hosts mainly divers, together
with those who are looking to spend time in
the serenity of white sands and gentle waves
of the ocean.
Whether participating in snorkeling or diving
activities arranged by the resort at Iboih or
Rubiah Island, Pulau Weh has a lot to offer to
its visitors. Even if you are planning to be by
yourself, Casanemo caters to your needs with
its private setting and special services. If you
feel like self-pampering, just head on to the
resort’s Dewa Spa for an aromatherapy massage,
cleansing facial, manicure and other body
relaxing treatments.
Go native by renting a bike to check out places
around PulauWeh such as the 0 KilometreMonu-
ment, which is a unique geographical landmark
of Indonesia. The spot is the farthest point west
of the country that goes all the way to Merauke,
Papua. Or if you are feeling adventurous, hike
around the mainland’s jungles, volcanoes
and lakes (Aneuk Laot Lake) to witness the
untouched beauty of the island. If it is Saturday,
make sure youmake it to Casanemo Beach Resort
& Spa in for time dinner and great live music from
the Meurandeh Band which plays a selection
of Top 40 hits. The friendly husband and wife
owners, Balqis and Gianluca Guidotti, are always
around, mingling with their guests and making
everyone feel right at home.
Hats off to Banda Aceh for not backing down
and rising up again. They will never forget that
tragic day, but they are not letting it stop them
from rebuilding and growing. Kudos to the
people of Aceh.
