Pulau Weh offers a selection of budget-friendly guesthouses and bungalows, particularly concentrated around the social hub of Iboih Beach. These accommodations provide a laid-back atmosphere, often with direct beach access or sea views, fostering casual interaction among fellow travelers and diving enthusiasts.
1. Santi Garden Bungalows
Type: Bungalows/Guesthouse
Located just a short walk from Iboih Beach, I found Santi Garden Bungalows to be a fantastic budget choice. The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a great base for exploring. It's easy to connect with others here, especially with dive shops and eateries nearby, making it ideal for those seeking a relaxed, social environment.
2. Olala Cafe and Bungalows
Type: Bungalows/Guesthouse
Staying at Olala, right in the heart of Iboih, offered a classic budget guesthouse experience. The bungalows are simple yet comfortable, and having a private jetty means easy access for snorkeling or just lounging by the water. The central location in Iboih naturally leads to opportunities to meet other travelers, especially around the cafe and restaurant area.
3. Pulau Weh Paradise
Type: Guesthouse/Bungalows
My stay at Pulau Weh Paradise provided excellent value with its beachfront restaurant and helpful staff. While some of the more basic rooms are simple, the communal areas and the stunning beach views create a very inviting space. The staff are incredibly friendly and assist with activities like scooter rentals and tours, which often brings guests together.
