Stay n Relax in Gapang Beach
 

Gapang Beach is an unique beach, with white sand halfway around the bay, surrounded by large overhanging trees; the 'Gapang' trees. So you can choose to sit on the beach in the sun, or in the shade of these grand old trees.

With a great house reef in front of the diveshop and a couple of resident turles living in the bay, it's a perfect place for snorkeling and long relaxed shore dives.

Gapang offers the widest choice in accommodation on Pulau Weh, from basic wooden huts on the beach, or nice, simple bungalows spread out along the hill overlooking the bay to comfortable bungalows with springbeds, bathrooms (mandi-style), fans or AC in a garden setting at the entrance to the beach. Prices ranges from 3,50 to 20 € (Euro) per night.

Lumba Lumba Living for the most comfortable stay on Pulau Weh

The "diver-friendly" rooms are very spaciously set up, with good springbeds (Single and King size beds available), a good wall fan, a nice clean bathroom with western toilet, shower AND indonesian style mandi (convenient for testing camera housings ;-) and a small pantry with a waterkettle, a fridge and rinsing basin, a wooden veranda with sliding doors, facing the sea/beach.

Enjoy our meal

 

On Gapang Beach there are six restaurants to choose from. Dat's Zero Cafe, Buchari's Limbo Restaurant, Gapang Jaya restaurant, and Dang Dang Na Restaurant are open for breakfast, lunch and dinners.

There's choice from local Acehnese food, more general Indonesian dishes, tropical fruit salads and some basic Western food such as pancakes, sandwiches, french fries and Kentucky fried chicken for example. Local versions of Pizza and Lasagna are also possible, when ordered in time before to allow for the neccesary preparations. Also it's possible to order other special meals beforehand, such as BBQ Fish. (All fish on Pulau Weh is extremely fresh, so some people really fancy our tuna for making sashimi themselves.)
Achenese "family food" is served every night in mama Jungle's restaurant. The Warung Walet up the road, close to the resorts serves everyday fresh cheap and very tasty local food: rice, vegetables, fried fish, tempe, delicious fish or chicken curry's and noodles.

  Beer and a few kinds of the local Indonesian brands of "firewater" are usually available on the beach.
