We are directly on the Beach and just 10 minutes south of Krui town. Behind us the virgin rain forest rises into the foothills of the Bukit Barasan range with active volcanoes, waterfalls lakes and hot springs with Tigers freely roaming. All along the coast are world class beach and reef breaks most suitable for intermediate advanced and expert surfers and body boarders.
