Maha Corner in Lhoknga is just an incredible spot and a stand out in all of Sumatra. It’s great for a tasty meal (Italian and Indonesian dishes and wide range of beverages) and also has beautiful cabins to stay in. Pak Sam the owner has created a very special and unique place here for Aceh using reclaimed timber. The area is quiet and picturesque and right on the beach just outside Lhoknga village.

The large beachfront outdoor area complete with sun loungers is perfect for enjoying the sunset and food & drinks and the cabins are nestled among the pine trees and well kept grounds. The cabins have lovely decor, quality appliances and are well-appointed ( aircon, wifi, ensuite with shower, hot water, tea/coffee, drinking water, mini fridge, comfy queen size bed, deck to sit out on). The staff are very friendly and provided us with express laundry and transport. Every time I return Sam and his team have made even more improvements and it is always so well maintained.

No smile and typical Indonesian warm welcome. You will get better services and hospitality somewhere else than here. I wonder if the services are better if the customers are Caucasians. What’s more shocking, when we were pulling out our cark, the parking guy asked Rp5000 for parking...
Read moreBeachside cafe and restaurant. With a beautiful view and unique design. But sorry, they need to improve the food quality. For today, i ordered the beef lasagna, pepperoni pizza, nasi goreng ayam (fried rice with chicken), roti canai and fish and chips. Pepperoni pizza, canai and the nasi goreng is good. But the beef lasagna, the chicken from nasi goreng and fish and chip need much improvent. Because the fried fish and the fried chicken was so dry in term of unpleasant to chew. The beef lasagna was so dry, didnt have enough bechamel on it, and ingredients of sofritto from the bolognese was so chunky and made the lasagna so thick . And the baked too long so the upper layer got burned.
But this place offered you a very pleasant beach view. when you need a place just to enjoy, You may...
