The facilities are great and the staff are lovely. Edo makes the best food and caters to any diet. You feel so well looked after here! The snorkelling on this island is also the best in the Banyaks, couldn’t recommend enough.

Very relaxing and lovely island. Snorkeling is good, scuba diving possible with scuba center on the island, climbing Gunung Tiusa with nice view possible with short transfer to Holoban. Very nice and welcoming personnel.

The Banyak Islands are an exceptionally beautiful group of islands with great clear water and very few tourists so far. Tailana Island is a very pretty little island, jungle inside, beautiful beaches with reefs in front of the island for snorkeling, you can quickly see a lot of small fish. There is also a diving school on Tailana. There is only one accommodation with a few small huts, perfect for relaxing and living life easy. Simple but thoughtful with comfort, little waste produced, the freshly cooked food is very good. Great team, thank you Lukas and Dicky! Snorkeling, diving, kayaking, SUP, boat trips to other islands e.g. Pulau Bangkaru possible Boat transfer available from and to Singkil, best shared with other guests.

The island is beautiful, the new bungalows are really pretty and right on the beach, you even have a Seaview from the bed. Staff is friendly and not over present which I like. There are almost no mosquitoes and the beaches are super clean, you can have good snorkeling sessions just a few meters from the beach.

The location, waking up and going into the sea, the snorkeling and the soft white sand. What is not to like. Wonderful staff and good food. And Michael is a really good dive instructor and has good tips for snorkeling

Very beautiful location with excellent food and nice areas for snorcheling. Accommodation and toilets are very clean and i appreciate there are also european toilets, which was comfortable for me. I also enjoyed the outdoor gym and other sport activities as kayaks, voleyball etc. Compared to other islands in Pulau Banyak there are almost none mosquitos. Staff was very helpful with organizing transport to and from tailana island. Thank you for pleasant stay and i hope i will have opportunity to come again.

Perfect peaceful location - an island paradise. Able to wander and explore the incredible reefs and the island at our own time and space. Excursions arranged by request we went looking for manatees and to Bangkaru island for an overnight stay to see the Green turtles with the rangers. Food was amazing - fresh indonesian cooking everyday. Relaxed informal atmosphere. Friendly approachable host and staff.

Nothing but love for this place! Tailana is truly paradise. Accommodation is basic, but offers all you need (and more actually). There’s even wifi at the restaurant - didn’t expect that. They offered beers. And a diving centre just opened! So many great spots for diving, and beautiful snorkelling right in front of your bungalow. I recommend booking the triangle bungalow, because they are newly renovated and have amazing ocean view. Tailana is our highlight of Sumatra, we wish we never left…
