Luxury Surf Resort Mentawai Islands

Mentawai

The Luxury Surf Resort

Awera Resort brings proper luxury to one of the world's great surf destinations. Each of its 10 private villas has its own infinity pool, with à la carte dining, a thermal pool and spa, and a boat fleet ready to take you to the best waves of the day.

The Mentawai Islands offer an incredible variety of waves, from long peeling walls and heavy barrels to playful beginner-friendly breaks. Right in front of the resort are three waves in the bay: Awera Right, a fun, barrelling peak that breaks almost daily; a dedicated beginners' wave with an easy paddle-out; and Awera Left, a fast, shallow left for stronger goofy-footers on a medium swell.

Boat Fleet & Surf School

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. Playgrounds and HTs are also reachable for an extra charge.

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. Professional surf videography packages are also available for guests wanting to capture their sessions and unforgettable moments in the Mentawais.
