Ricky's Beach House Backpacker Holiday

Ricky's Beach House is a place for you if you are easy going, if you like and want to meet local people and if you are looking for authenticity and nature. You might be disappointed if you are looking for Balinese service with confort. Traveling thought Sumatra is not easy, its a root destination.


Unique in Indonesia, you will be part of the Minangkabau community as living with the local people, sharing and meeting them while enjoying this fabulous place between jungle and ocean, fauna and flora, rice fields and coconut trees.




 Our village is a small fishermen village with strong traditions. To respect the villagers and the community, we suggest our female travelers to do not wearing bikini on the village's beach (swim with t-shirt and short). But we have many "privates' beaches around or even paradisiac islands where you can wearing bikini without any problems.

 For our men travelers, please wearing t.shirt when you are walking on the village.
-You can wear anything you want if your bungalow is located in our private beach : bikini all day long is ok.
•If you have never been to Indonesia before and even never been to Asia, you might be surprised to see garbage everywhere (roads, beaches...). Indonesia is still far from this problem and almost nobody is educated about it, especially in villages. Our future goal is to to make local people aware of environment, green and garbage recycling but for the moment, the village is like all the others villages in Indonesia : dirty.
•If you are invited to someone's house, don't come in with your shoes : always take it off before come in. To great someone, shake his/her hand and always with your right hand. Try to eat with your right hand also as its not polite to use left hand. If you are invited to someone's house for eating or drinking, never start eating before you have been told to.
