Top Resorts In Mentawai

The Mentawai Islands are considered one of the finest surf destinations in the world, offering an incredible variety of waves for every level of surfer. From long peeling walls and heavy barrels to playful beginner-friendly breaks, the region delivers an unmatched mix of lefts, rights, mellow rides, and powerful reef waves.

Awera Resort is perfectly positioned close to an incredible selection of surf breaks. Right in front of the resort you'll find three waves within the bay: Awera Right, a fun, barrelling peak that breaks almost daily and is the resort's main reference wave; a dedicated Beginners wave with an easy paddle-out and safe learning area; and Awera Left, a fast, shallow left for stronger goofy-footers on a medium-sized swell.

Enquire today and we’ll quickly confirm availability and next steps.

Our boat fleet reaches more than ten additional nearby surf spots, including Ombak Tidur and Iceland (two of the most consistent rights and lefts in the region), the long left at Hookers, the fun, maneuverable Tikus, the demanding Tugis, the expert-only barrel at Suicides, the celebrated 100m+ peeler at Telescopes, the area's longest wave at Scarecrows, and the playful Seven Palms.

With such a wide variety of waves available, there's always the right option for every surfer, from relaxed cruisy sessions to more challenging reef breaks.

Mentawai Islands Location

A surfer's dream destination

Awera

This is the kind of Mentawai trip that feels properly remote, but still comfortable. You wake up to ocean air, grab a solid breakfast, then plan your surf around what the day is doing rather than forcing a fixed timetable. Between sessions you can slow everything down, good food, time by the pool, and space to properly recover so you are ready for the next tide.
