TELO ISLAND RESORT, SUMATRA
APRIL 16 - 23, 2011
Fully Booked!!
The popularity of our Latitude Zero meetings has prompted us to host a short workshop at the Telo Islands Lodge located in the Pulau Batu Batu region. This short program will incorporate seven two hour workshops providing a contemporary update on a range of current and topical clinical issues.
Telo Island Lodge is located in the Batu islands a group approximately 180 nautical miles from the city of Padang on the island of Sumatra. The Batu group sits between Siberut, the northern most island of the Mentawai group and the island of Nias. The lodge is on the island of Sibranun in a smaller grouping again that is known as the “Telos”.
Access to the lodge is via an hour flight from Medan to the local airport Lasondre on the island of Tanah Masa. The airport is just a short boat ride from their doorstep. Furthur details of the resort can be obtained at http://www.teloislandlodge.com/home.php.

Telo Island Lodge - Overview
The Resort
As the name suggests accommodation is high-end luxury lodge style. Our buildings are all constructed using organic materials milled on the island. All roofing is traditional thatch and all our furnishings compliment the surrounds. Guests enjoy twin share air conditioned rooms, all beds are king size and the rooms come with en-suite bathroom that includes a hot and cold shower and western toilet.
The Main House
Constructed in 2006 the Telo Islands Lodge Main House is a giant, open-plan style building right on the lagoon’s edge at Max’s Right, one of the most stunning vistas in the surfing world.
Sleeping is in two separate air-conditioned rooms that are attached to the giant, open 23-metre x 15-metre post-and-beam construction house. Each of these attached rooms has its own en-suite bathroom with hot and cold shower, tiled floor,western style flush toilets and vanity unit. There are clear views of the surf and jungle from every room of the main lodge building and despite being air-conditioned the rooms are also an open-screen construction giving the feeling of being right in the jungle on the water’s edge.
