The Mentawai Islands have more to offer than waves. From jungle treks and waterfall swims to dinners on the jetty and mornings in the shala — there's always something to do, or nothing at all.

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.

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.
