THE RESORT
A classic but constantly evolving

Home to one of the nicest beaches in the Mentawais, it offers one of the easiest accesses from Padang, flexible arrival dates, and excellent value for groups, families, couples and solo travellers alike. Solid speedboats with multiple daily trips divided by level, top notch guiding and a mellow left-hander just 10 minutes away by foot make it an amazing surf experience for anyone. Meals are served family-style with healthy, hearty dishes to keep you fuelled. Accommodation is in comfy bungalows with private terraces & chilling areas to kick back. A solid option across the board.

THE SURF
Solid speedboats & top guides
Strategically positioned in the Central Mentawais, Aloita gives access to waves for all levels. A short stroll from the resort, Tikus offers a soft, playful left, ideal for beginners and low intermediates. Nearby, world-class spots like Telescopes, Scarecrows, Iceland, Suicides, plus a few secrets, keep things exciting. Surf packages include two daily boat trips with expert guides on fast boats, and lessons are available onsite. Strike missions south to Lances or north to Playgrounds are possible, with fuel costs shared. Whether chasing soft walls or hollow barrels, this is one of the most wave-rich zones in the Mentawais.

EXPERIENCES
More than just surfing
There’s plenty to do here when you’re not chasing waves. SUP through mangroves and picture-perfect beaches, snorkel over colourful reefs, or explore nearby islands trekking the jungle or visiting local markets. Join a comp yoga session with the ocean as your backdrop, or melt into a massage after a long day in the sun. The calm bay out front is perfect for swimming or just floating around, and a few Bintangs at the pool table or around a bonfire never hurt either.
