Cubadak Island, Unexpected Haven in Painan - West Sumatra

Pulau Cubadak or Cubadak Island is located on the west coast of Sumatra close to Padang with some great beaches, snorkeling and scuba diving sites. There are boats available also to take you to neighboring island for more great snorkeling and scuba diving spots.

Conveniently located two hours only from Padang International Airport, Cubadak island offers an unexpected haven of tranquility and peacefulness, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. Our wooden bungalows stretched along white sandy beaches are set to welcome you with all necessary comfort.

Cubadak is of volcanic origin, has an area of 15 square km, is uninhabited except for a few isolated fishermen’s huts, and is completely covered by a native rainforest. Many kinds of birds and bigger animals live in this forest: hornbills, king fishers, monkeys, monitor lizards, dears, wild boars and many others. Excursions and walks within Cubadak’s forest provide fascinating experiences.

Cubadak is completely surrounded by a coral reef and in the sea live innumerable varieties of coloured reef fishes. As the distance between the island and Sumatra is only a few miles, the sea bordering our Village is sheltered and completely free of waves which facilitates the practice of water sports.

Cubadak Island is located in Mandeh Tourism Area (Mande Resort), 40 km to the south of Padang, and 5 km from the beach. Width is approximately 40 km². Cubadak can be reach by the boat from Painan Carocok.
