Key Facts

Pulau-pulau Batu is a district (kecamatan) located in the Nias Selatan Regency of North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Situated in the Indian Ocean southwest of mainland Sumatra, this archipelago comprises numerous small islands scattered across a vast marine area. The district covers approximately 462 square kilometers of land area across its many islands, with a population of around 15,000 people according to recent estimates. Pulau-pulau Batu is administratively divided into 11 villages (desa) that are distributed among the various islands, with the largest settlements found on the main islands of Pulau Tello, Pulau Pini, and Pulau Tanahmasa. The district's remote location and scattered island geography create unique challenges for administration and development, while also preserving traditional cultures and marine ecosystems. The islands are known for their pristine coral reefs, white sand beaches, and rich marine biodiversity, making them increasingly popular for diving and ecotourism. As part of the Nias Selatan Regency's efforts to improve public services, accurate postal code information for each village in Pulau-pulau Batu district is essential for efficient mail delivery and administrative coordination across this dispersed island chain.
