Explore some of the most Remote Waves in Indonesia!
Puri Asu Resort is located in the Remote Hinako Islands. Experience some of Indonesia’s quietest and most remote surf! Located off of Nias, the Hinako Islands offer very consistent waves.
The resort sits on a white sand swimming beach and private pier directly in front of your room. Located within easy reach of all the waves in the area, Puri Asu Resort is perfect for exploring this untouched paradise!
The Resort
Puri Asu Resort is located on Asu Island, part of the remote Hinako Islands. Lying just 15km off the West Nias coast, this region is dotted with good-quality waves. The resort is on the protected side of the island on a white sand beach, perfect for swimming.
With a beachfront yoga gazebo, a large restaurant area, and loads of non-surf activities, Puri Asu Resort is an amazing spot to explore from. All rooms have air conditioning and Western standard bathrooms with hot water showers for a comfortable trip! The resort is perfect for groups and couples traveling and also caters to families.
The resort is equipped with 4 boats and 2 jet skis, so groups can split between waves. You can also use all the resorts fishing gear, SUPs and snorkeling gear free of charge!
Waves at Puri Asu Resort
Puri Asu is located right on the equator meaning winds are always variable in direction. The largest surf can be found in June, July, and August with stronger winds. Due to the area’s exposure, waves are to be found every month of the year. The expert guiding onsite will get you to the best waves for your level each day!
Waves: Asu – left-hand wave that works on all tides, big and small swells. Bawa – Never goes flat. Righthander, lots of variety. Barrel Machine – a perfect symmetrical high-performance wave. Mini Bawa – a friendly wave up to 6 feet, then it shows its power. Deep water and thick lips when big. Sirombu – is a sheltered rippable right-hander located near the Sirombu harbour. It’s the best for intermediate surfers! Afulu – is located 40-50 minutes from Asu. A dream left-hander on the Nias mainland and offers incredible tube rides with rippable walls. Salonako – 45 minutes from Asu. ”Super Perfect” right hander and can provide challenging barrel rides. Super fast, with sand and reef bottom. Bommie – is a deep water slab.

Accommodation
Puri Asu Resort offers 3 accommodation options for your trip! The Superior Bungalows offer beachfront accommodation and are recommended for this looking for more comfort. Perfect for couples and solo travelers, these rooms come with AC and hot water showers.
The Standard Beach Cottage and Rooms are more simple but still comfortable room options. All rooms are in a large wooden house, constructed in South Sumatra. Perfect for groups of friends or families traveling. Note, all standard accommodation is shared. The standard rooms are fully air-conditioned and have hot water as well!
The Cuisine
Each day the resort’s chef prepares a variety of food and as often as possible, uses seafood caught by local fishermen and our guests. If you are a big eater you can ask for a second serving at any time!
Activities
The HInakos Islands have a lot more to offer than mind-blowing surf! Explore the tropical reefs along the islands, go fishing (equipment available on-site), jump on one of the boats, explore one of the uninhabited Hinako islands, and more!
Fishing
The region offers great sport fishing! The resort hás trolling equipment for guests to use. Feel free to bring your own casting or jigging tackle and Puri Asu will be happy to take you to some spots!
Getting there
Puri Asu is reached from Nias. Nias airport (GNS) can be reached via Medan (KNO) North Sumatra or Padang (PDG) West Sumatra. We recommend arriving in Nias (GNS) is best before 1:00 PM and departing from Nias after 11:00 AM on your final day. After arrival in Nias, the resort driver picks guests up at the airport and drives them West across Nias Island (2 hours of beautiful tropical scenery) to Sirombu Harbor. The resort speedboats take guests from the harbor to Asu Island in 30 minutes.
