Upscale surf resort on a private beach in the Mentawais with unlimited boat service and waves for all levels.

If you’re into staying at postcard-perfect island paradises surrounded by fun surf, Awera Surf Resort is your jam. Everyone from absolute beginners to barrel-chasing hellmen will love staying at this beachfront surf resort. The moment you step off the ferry, you’ll instantly feel taken care of.

Awera features 11 properties, with a total of 16 villas from one-bedroom garden view to three-bedroom beachfront. And the entire resort has a beautiful design, both inside and out.

If you want a break from the surf, you can explore the mangroves by SUP, snorkel the reefs filled with fish, jump into the twice-daily yoga classes, hike island trails, or tag along with local experts for a day of fishing and boating. The amenities and activities available at Awera Resort really do make this spot the ideal destination for surf fanatics, plus their friends and families who may not want to be on a board all day.

To cap it all off, you can feel good about spending your money at Awera, which has a strong social and environmental commitment. Awera recycles 100 percent of its waste, collects rainwater, and prioritizes using biodegradable products.

Features

Inside

The wooden thatched-roof villas exude rustic minimalism and have floor-to-ceiling windows that open to picturesque views. Each villa has an ensuite bathroom, chill-out terrace, surfboard rack, and outdoor shower. All beds offer mosquito nets, and the A/C will feel great after spending all day in the sun.

Outside

Nature is the name of the game in this island paradise. Take a stroll along your own 2,500-meter private beach or go snorkeling out front at the colorful reef. Post-surf, recount the waves of the day on a cush lounge chair at the beachfront pool with a cold beer and good company.

Eat & Drink

Fuel up for the day with delicious fresh meals prepared by an on-site chef. Three meals per day plus snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are included, so you’ll never feel empty after a long day of surfing. The resort is happy to accommodate special diets, including vegan and vegetarian options.

The Surf

The famous and ultra-popular Playgrounds area is only a one-hour boat ride away, and HTs (the original Mentawai dream wave) is accessible in less than 90 minutes.
