Cubadak island is located on southern coastal area of West Sumatra. It is exactly on the area of Painan district, 75 km from Padang city. The southern coastal area directly faces Hindia ocean and there are many small beautiful islands there.

One of the islands which managed to be a gorgeous resort is Cubadak island. The name is used because as the story goes, there were plenty of jackfruit trees there. In Minangkabau local language, Cubadak means jackfruit. Cubadak island is hired and managed by Italian person, and he has been managed the island for 18 years. The owner of the resort names it Paradiso Resort.

Cubadak island offers visitors to spend their holiday in the tranquil and virgin environment, with the best 5-star standard cottages to stay. Many foreign visitors have visited the resort, but just few of them come from the local country. All fares here use dollar, nevertheless rupiah is also acceptable.

How we can reach the island






The visitor can drive directly from Padang city to Painan for at least 75 km. Then they can make their way to the Tarusan port within Tauran subdistrict (indonesian: kecamatan) area. It needs 30 minutes to reach the port from Painan by car. Getting to the island, it takes time approximately 15 minutes speedboat from the port.

If we are still confused how to get the island from the port, we can call the manager of the island before we date to go. Then the manager will pick us up with the boat of his own at Tarusan port. Tradisional fishermen with their simple boats are also found there.
