Casa Nemo Beach Resort & Spa

Casa Nemo is owned by an Acehnese woman who prioritizes cultivating beautiful experiences and running an ethical, eco-friendly business. The entire resort is beautifully manicured with fruit trees and flowers everywhere. Everything here is done with intention and love. The staff take great pride in their work. Aceh Heritage Village: Right when you walk in, you'll see two beautifully restored historic Acehnese houses featuring hand carved and painted decorations. This is totally unique on the island, and it's a must-see. Sometimes there are events there, so check with the resort to see about the schedule. The restaurant: The restaurant is stunning with an inviting porch that reveals the ocean and the lush landscape. The food is delightful with a mix of Indonesian and Western options. I am gluten free with a sensitive stomach. The restaurant always accommodates my dietary restrictions, and I always feel good after I eat there! If you will be staying awhile, you can even bring your own gluten free flour, and they will prepare something special for you. I love the ayam tangkap (an Acehnese specialty that you can't find many places on the island) and tom yum. The rooms: Every bungalow is done in the traditional Acehnese style with wooden carved decorations. My bungalow had a porch with a hammock which was the perfect place to relax while watching the ocean and listening to the sounds of nature. The bed was comfortable. The shower had hot water and it was easy to control the temperature, which cannot be said of many showers on the island. There was also a fridge and water dispenser in the room including hot water and china cups. The spa: I have had some of the best massages of my life at the spa here. My favorite is the Javanese. Masseuses are expertly trained and accommodating with any issues you may have. Friends of mine have had waxing done with excellent results. The beach: Great for lounging and a gentle swim.

Lovely serene location staying true to the environment to which it was created within. The staff were very friendly and helpful and their restaurant offered some really nice fresh dishes. The homemade pizza's were exceptional. We were a party of 6 from the UK, apparently they don't have very many visitors from UK as the place is relatively undiscovered.. When in your bungalow in Casa Nemo it is like being in amongst all the trees and fauna, totally private and not overlooked.

Very nice staff and overall a good standard throughout. The private beach is a definite highlight—there’s a great reef just in front, and we went snorkeling there quite often. One minor downside: the restaurant guests can be a bit much sometimes, constantly taking billions of pictures of everything. But I guess that’s just the social media tax these days—not unique to this part of Indonesia.

Casa Nemo Beach Resort is a sanctuary in everyway you can think of! You have your privacy in your own bungalow, the different kind of people at the beach bar or the restaurant. Everything looks so beautiful and the private beach with its huge coral reef is the best snorkeling spot. All the people who work there are super friendly and remember your name and the manager is the most inspiring and heartwarming person who is always takes care of her guests. We will never forget our stay and are very thankful for this awsome time we had at Casa Nemo!

We really liked the bungalow. Air con was working well, beautiful balcony with a view, it was clean. Wonderful personnel
