FOR FAMILIES

Family time feels different here.

No schedules. No traffic. Just warm ocean, slower days, and enough space for everyone to relax.

Family vacation 

Yoga at sunrise, a tropical breakfast, then the whole day ahead. The ocean, the jungle, the reef. Bonfire nights. No cars, no crowds — just the island and your family.

THE EXPERIENCE

Kids spend their days barefoot between the beach, the ocean, and the jungle while parents finally slow down enough to enjoy it too.

Some families come for surfing. Others simply want time together somewhere beautiful and uncomplicated.

The advanced beginner or intermediate surfer should consider bringing an all round board with bigger size and lots of volume, especially if you are coming from a long period without surfing. This kind of board will allow you to get that extra paddling strength on the surf and will also help you catch more waves.

Bring also a shorter high performance board as well to start testing your skills once you start getting into the rhythm. Trust us: you will appreciate that extra volume and extra inches on the more demanding days, especially if you are not a consummated charger.

Aloita serves farm to table food created by international guest chefs

We source fish directly from local fishermen, guaranteeing Aloita's dishes feature the freshest catch. Our fruits, vegetables, and herbs, including basil and mint, are also locally sourced. This commitment to local suppliers enriches our dining with authentic Mentawai flavors.

All the meals we serve at our Resort are prepared by International guest chefs who visit us on a regular basis and leave their best signature dishes and recipes with us.

We happily accommodate guests with dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, vegan and gluten intolerance, as that’s also a part of who we are.

Public Fast ferry transfer

Opt for the hassle-free experience by booking our Fast ferry TRANSFER PACKAGE, allowing us to seamlessly manage every detail for you. This comprehensive package covers all transfers, beginning from your arrival at Padang airport to your hotel and, the following morning, to the harbor.

You'll enjoy a smooth journey with the Mentawai Fast ferry, inclusive of a generous 15 kg luggage allowance.

For surfers, we also accommodate one board bag (15 kg), taking the worry out of transporting your equipment.
