ZIGZAG Travel Guide ‘22
SOZINHOS SURF LODGE
Palau Asu
If your dream is to surf solo on barrelling reef breaks looking out over a palm-tree-lined island, with the only transport being by foot, then you’ve found what you’re looking for.
Sozinhos Surf Lodge, owned and run by a South African, is located on Palau Asu a few miles offshore from the main island of Nias, West Sumatra, and offers everything you dream of. Empty lineups are there for the taking on up to eight of the local breaks. Our private gazebo looks out over a long left that is the jewel in our crown. After your session, relax in either of our secluded bungalows or our main lodge, and be fed like a king. World-class fishing and snorkelling is a one-minute walk away, and we have SUPs, table tennis and a large-screen digital projector all there to be enjoyed.
Sozinhos Surf Lodge: world-class surfing on an island paradise, with empty lineups and stunning accommodation… it’s no longer a dream.
