You Have Found Six Degrees

A couple running a backpackers’ hostel in Jakarta shared a common dream: to leave behind city life and create a sustainable eco-lodge and hostel on a remote beach, far from the typical tourist trail.

When the right opportunity came along, they seized it. Thanks to strong partnerships with the local community, support from beyond the region, and the dedication of an incredible group of volunteers, Six Degrees Off-Grid came to life.

Six Degrees features accommodation that cater to both relaxation and exploration.

Stay in our forest-view bungalows, surrounded by lush greenery, or our sea-view bungalows, offering calming coastal vistas.

For solo backpackers or those traveling in groups, the longhouse provides a unique communal space with comfort and character.

Or if you’re feeling adventurous, stay in the Six Degrees tree house! High up in a mighty tamarind tree with panoramic views.

Each option is thoughtfully designed using sustainable, locally sourced materials and powered by solar energy, ensuring an eco-friendly and relaxing stay.

From the very beginning, every decision we’ve made has been guided by our commitment to self-sufficiency, minimal environmental impact, and fostering positive change within the local community.

A few of the key initiatives driving our sustainability efforts include:

• 100% solar-powered electricity – with no reliance on backup generators
• Permaculture-inspired fruit and vegetable gardens
• Composting toilets and organic waste composting
• Plastic-free environment
• Rainwater harvesting

Additionally, we prioritize:

• Community education and engagement programs
• Eco-friendly building materials and construction techniques
• Sourcing all supplies, materials, and labor exclusively from the local community
