Heartfelt Hospitality with Purpose

Zoe’s Paradise



Where People, Culture, and Sustainability Meet on Samosir Island

At Zoé’s Paradise Waterfront Hotel, we believe that true hospitality goes beyond comfort — it connects people, supports the community, and respects the environment.

We proudly pioneer apprenticeship training inspired by the Swiss model, giving local youth meaningful opportunities in hospitality. Our commitment to sustainable tourism invites guests to experience Batak culture with care and authenticity.

Led by Mama Zoé and powered by a passionate team, our hotel is more than a place to stay — it's a place where stories are shared, skills are nurtured, and unforgettable connections are made.

Owner Family & Team

Zoé's Paradise: A Family & Community Venture

Zoe's Paradise is a unique boutique hotel on Samosir Island, born from the heart of a Swiss-Bataknese family. Named after our daughter, Zoe, in keeping with Batak tradition, our hotel embodies a personal touch and warm hospitality. While Zoe and her mother are currently in Switzerland, they remain deeply connected to the daily operations, ensuring our guests experience the true spirit of Samosir.

Our dedicated team, primarily composed of young locals, is the backbone of Zoe's Paradise. Many are new to the hospitality industry, and we are committed to their growth and development. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our staffing, and we appreciate your understanding as we rebuild and refine our services. We are dedicated to providing an authentic experience, and we welcome your feedback to ensure your stay is truly exceptional. Thank you for being a part of our journey as we create a paradise together.
