The First Curated Collection of Quality Budget Sumatra Accommodation

Secret Boutique Guesthouses was born of an idea to help travellers to find the best quality budget Sumatra accommodation, or of wider Asia, for their Asia travel itinerary. With the growth in the budget and boutique hotel sectors in Asia the team of travel professionals behind Secret Boutique Guesthouses could see how quality budget accommodations in Sumatra and across Asia were getting lost in the crowded space. With so many accommodation offerings on the market it is getting harder and harder for the hotelier and teams behind smaller properties to get their guesthouses, homestay, boutique resorts and boutique hotels seen above the crowd. Secret Boutique Guesthouses want to share these properties that offer quality hospitality while supporting sustainable and responsible travel with the traveller to Asia. And we can achieve this through creating and managing our curated collection of quality budget Sumatra accommodation. Coming from our community of boutique hoteliers in Asia, Secret Retreats, we have applied our knowledge of boutique hospitality and our expertise in Asia holidays to curate and select the best budget accommodation for our Sumatra guest house, homestay and secret Sumatra surf camp shortlist. Properties are selected based on the hospitality experience they provide. We look for a strong sense of place in our preferred properties, where guests will experience the essence of the destination in the stay experience.

A warm and sincere style of hospitality is also the signature of a boutique hotel stay, and we look for this too from our preferred budget Sumatra accommodation offerings. And perhaps most importantly, we expect our preferred Sumatra guesthouses, homestay and resorts to support sustainable and responsible travel within their destinations. As champions of their Sumatra homes, protection of their local environment and support of their local community and culture is an essential component of a boutique hotel’s daily operations and we expect the same from our preferred quality budget accommodations that are supported and selected for curation within Secret Boutique Guesthouses collection.

From the Best Place to Stay in Lake Toba to Medan, Padang or Nias, Sumatra Has a Lot to Offer

Sumatra offers a lot of variety to the visitor, from an itinerary looking for the best place to stay in Lake Toba in north Sumatra, to the unique culture in the highlands of Bukittinggi to in West Sumatra, to the world class surf of Nias or the Mentawai Islands, or for city lovers the endless fascination of the city of Medan famed for its opportunities for dining, and not forgetting to book a stay in a Bukit Lawang guest house for uniquely Sumatran wildlife experiences. The opportunities for rich and rewarding experiences are endless on Sumatra. A land of superlatives Sumatra is the largest of Indonesia’s more than 17,400 islands, and Lake Toba is Indonesia’s largest lake and the also the largest volcanic lake in the world. Typically an entry point to Sumatra, a stay in a Medan guest house is a must to explore this city from the unique cuisine on offer to the historical architecture before a stay in a guest house in Bukit Lawang, the jungle home of Sumatra’s famed Orangutans.

The natural wonders continue as you head to your Lake Toba accommodation to explore this north Sumatran natural wonder, with this stunning lake set within the caldera of an ancient super-volcano. At over 100kms long Lake Toba occupies a vast area and is also home to the Batak people, a fascinating people renowned for their distinctive architectural style as much as their cannibalistic heritage and unique belief systems. And for the marine or surf loving visitor Sumatra is home to some stunning coastal scenery, islands and surf breaks. A stay in a Nias guest house is a must to enjoy this beautiful island paradise just off north Sumatra’s western coast, famed for its white sand beaches and unique culture, it is also home to world class surfing.
