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.

There are no dangers on the ground or in the sea. The village is frequently visited by monkeys, wild boars at night, monitor lizards… all very shy, distant and harmless.

Water is drinkable everywhere including in the bathrooms. The water is diverted down to the village from a source in the hill ; its quality has been tested and measured in Western Europe and in Indonesia, and a bottling and selling permit was extended to the resort (although such permit is not used).

There is no malaria in this part of Sumatra, absolutely none on the island.

The sea temperature is constant at 29 degrees Celsius both on the surface and down to 30 meters, making snorkelling and diving activities particularly enjoyable.

Cubadak island is located 57 km south of Padang and a few minutes off the fishing harbour of Corocok.
