THE APPROACH

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.

WAVES & SURF MAP

The breaks within reach.

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.

mentawai surf resort - surf package
GUIDED SURFING

Surf the Mentawais

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.

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.

After a thrilling day of riding the waves, indulge in our signature Surfers Massage, specially crafted to target tired muscles and enhance your recovery. We understand that time is precious during surf sessions, which is why we've designed this unique 30-minute massage to provide maximum benefit in minimal time.

Focused on the back, neck, and shoulders—the areas most affected by surfing—the Surfers Massage relieves tension, improves circulation, and promotes relaxation, allowing you to recover faster and perform at your best in the water.

With dedicated time slots available after lunch and dinner, you can choose to enjoy a quick massage before your next surf session or wind down at the end of the day before heading to bed.
