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
There are three waves directly in front of the resort – a beginner wave and two rippable (and occasionally barreling) reefs known as Awera Right and Left. Nine other waves located within a short boat ride from the resort, including Telescopes and Iceland (one of the Mentawais’ biggest left-handers, which handles into the XL range). 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.
