HOME BREAK 800m FROM THE RESORT · GUIDED BOATS TWICE DAILY · ICE BATH ON THE JETTY · ALL LEVELS WELCOME

Gentle waves, certified instructors, small groups. The right place to start and make progress.

Diverse breaks, daily coaching, guides who know exactly where to send you on any given day.

Telescopes, Scarecrows, Icelands. Consistent, powerful, perfectly shaped.

The Mentawai Islands are home to some of the best waves in the world, but Aloita has always approached surfing a little differently — less pressure, less ego, more enjoyment.
Our surf guides know the swell directions, tides, crowd factor, and local etiquette. With two boats and small groups, we can often split surfers across different waves depending on ability, conditions, and what they're looking for that day.
Maximum 18 surfers at the resort. Small numbers, plenty of waves, and a more personal experience in and out of the water.
Within boat distance: Telescopes, Icelands, Suicides, Scarecrows, Ombak Tidur and more.
The home break sits 800 metres from the resort — visible from the jetty. On a good day you don't even need the boat.
The Mentawais sit in the path of powerful Southern Ocean swells. Consistent, well-shaped, and varied enough to suit every level.


Our surf boats head out twice daily with experienced surf guides to explore waves throughout the area.
From mellow sessions to more advanced breaks, the goal is simple — find good waves and enjoy the day.
The kind of surf trip people return for.
Not because they surfed the biggest wave of their life. Because they liked how life felt around it.
MENTAWAI SURF TAX: All surfers must pay a surfing tax of 2.000.000 Idr (approx. 125 USD) to the Mentawai Tourism Office. We will collect and pay it for you once you are in Aloita. The tax pass is valid for 15 days.



Our home break sits directly in front of the island.
A gentle, playful reef wave ideal for longboarding, lessons, improvers, and relaxed sessions close to home.
Guests can walk to the break in minutes or use complimentary boat drop-offs and pickups throughout the day.
Tailored instruction with a maximum of four students per class. Certified instructors who adjust to your level and ability.


You can catch waves — but bigger swells feel uncertain. One-on-one sessions with experienced coaches who know these reefs. Targeted feedback to get you to the next level.
Bring at least two boards — an all-round performance board and a step-up for bigger days. Advanced surfers booking peak season (May–September) should also consider a gun.
Arriving with one board? Our rental quiver covers the rest.

Al Merrick, Pyzel and more. High-performance shortboards, funboards and longboards for every style and level. Skip the hassle of travelling with boards — or just add a back-up to your quiver.

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.
