A typical day at Six Degrees Off Grid offers a chance to experience both the beauty of Sulawesi and the simplicity of an eco-friendly lifestyle. From early mornings to quiet evenings, here’s a glimpse of what you can expect during your stay.
Morning: Waking Up in Nature
Your day begins with the soft sounds of nature—the rustling of leaves and distant waves. You might start the morning with a session of yoga by the beach, or simply take a few moments to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Breakfast follows, featuring fresh local fruits, eggs, and traditional Indonesian dishes, all prepared with ingredients sourced from nearby farms and the surrounding area.
Mid-Morning: Exploring the Outdoors
After breakfast, it’s time to head outside. You can swim or paddle-board out to our house reef for a snorkel, or for a slightly longer adventure, hire a boat for a short trip to Towale Atoll, where the underwater world is teeming with marine life and beautiful coral. We can arrange a picnic lunch for you to take to the Atoll. If you enjoy walking, take a stroll along the beach or through the forest to Pusat Laut Donggala, a natural sea-well and swimming spot where you can jump in from the top and enjoy the cool, refreshing water.
Afternoon: Cultural and Relaxation Time
In the afternoon, you can take some time to learn more about the local culture. A short visit to nearby villages allows you to meet the Kaili people and discover their traditions and way of life. You might see the local women doing tradition hand-weaving, or kick a ball with the kids of the village. Afterward, you’ll have some free time to relax—whether it’s lounging by the beach, reading, or simply taking in the surroundings. There’s usually a cooling sea breeze in the afternoon, taking the edge off the equatorial heat.
Evening: Sunset and Dinner
As the day winds down, the beach offers a peaceful setting to watch the sunset. Alternatively, you can enjoy panoramic sunset views from the bar. Buffet dinner features local Kaili dishes, made with ingredients sourced from the area, offering a taste of the region’s flavors. If you have any special requests for dinner (or maybe you have picky kids), let us know and we’ll do our very best to accommodate.
Night: Drinks and Rest
After dinner, you can relax with a drink at the bar, taking in the tranquil surroundings. Or sit around the fire and share stories. When you’re ready, retreat to your bungalow, where you can unwind and get a good night’s rest, ready for another day of exploration.
Conclusion
At Six Degrees Off Grid, you can do as much or as little as you want. Whether you’re seeking adventure, cultural immersion, or simply a quiet retreat, your time here offers the flexibility to create your perfect day in nature.
