Key Facts

Aceh is a special autonomous province located at the northernmost tip of Sumatra, Indonesia. It occupies a strategic position where the Indian Ocean meets the Strait of Malacca, making it historically significant as a gateway for trade and cultural exchange. Covering approximately 57,956 square kilometers, Aceh is one of Indonesia's larger provinces and is home to around 5.3 million people according to recent estimates. The province is administratively divided into 18 regencies and 5 cities, with Banda Aceh serving as both the provincial capital and its largest urban center. Aceh is renowned for its distinctive cultural identity, being the only Indonesian province officially permitted to implement Sharia law, and for its rich history as the center of the powerful Aceh Sultanate that resisted colonial powers for centuries. The region also gained international attention following the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which prompted massive reconstruction and development efforts.
