Aceh Singkil, Administrative regency in Aceh, Indonesia
Aceh Singkil extends across 1,857 square kilometers of Sumatra's mainland and includes the offshore archipelago of Banyak Islands with 99 individual islands.
The regency gained its administrative independence in 1999 when it separated from South Aceh Regency, and later transferred the town of Subulussalam in 2007.
The population of Aceh Singkil follows the regional motto 'Sekata Sepekat', reflecting the community's emphasis on agreement and social harmony.
The regency divides into eleven districts, with the administrative center located in the coastal port of Singkil at an elevation of 37 meters.
The Banyak Islands within the regency contain multiple diving locations near Tailena, Rago-rago, Panjang, and Matahari islands, with turtle conservation on Tuwanku Island.
