Measuring 27 ft. Another of WPL's goals is to create a Mentawai experience for the guests. We don't want visitors to feel that they are living in a hotel on the mainland. It would be better to stay home than to travel all this way and feel like a busy business traveller staying in a Hotel. Future Losmen will also be built in the Mentawai style with modern construction techniques.
Guests have the option of sleeping inside the rooms or outside on a mattress on the side porches.
The advantages of sleeping outside are that more breeze is felt throughout the night. Mattresses, pillows, sheets and mosquito nets are provided for all guests, although for special needs guests are encouraged to bring their own gear. Grass has been digitally added surrounding the house under construction. The house is approximately 100 ft. from the beach. Hideaways can be reached with a 5 minute walk up the beach and a 15 minute paddle out around the reef.
