The Trip

8 days learning to surf in island paradise

This unique 8-day / 7-night experience offers the perfect opportunity to learn to surf in the Mentawai Islands. Our two professional instructors cater to all levels, whether you're a complete beginner or an intermediate surfer looking to refine your technique and elevate your style.

Our 'Learn to Surf' package is set on a gentle, sandy-bottomed wave located directly in front of our resort — almost unbelievably convenient, and absolutely ideal for beginners taking their first steps on a surfboard. In addition to this wave, we also have access to another nearby spot that breaks over dead coral. While surf booties are recommended here, it often offers better conditions than the sandy break and remains perfectly suitable for those just starting out. For those who can already stand up on a board but are looking to progress beyond foam boards, we have five mellow reef breaks in the area — easy-going, deep enough for comfort, and excellent for developing your technique and building confidence in the water.

Experience the Real Mentawai at Our Private Island Surf Resort — Our resort is the perfect place to enjoy an unforgettable holiday and authentic surf experience in the Northern Mentawai Islands. Set on a private island and run by a local Mentawaian family of surfers, what truly sets us apart is our deep-rooted connection to this land. Born and raised here, we know every reef, every corner, every wave, and every story of these islands — offering you a genuinely local perspective that no outsider can replicate.

Out and About

Beyond the surf

When the boards are drying, the island keeps giving. Daily yoga in the chalet, a dip in the brand-new pool, snorkelling straight off the beach, canoes and SUPs to explore the lagoon, and beachside massages to ease the post-session aches. Sunset at the mini bungalow, fresh meals shared at the long table — slow, warm, easy island days.
