AWERA RESORT

Mentawai

THE RESORT

Raising the bar in the Mentawai

Strategically located in Central Mentawai with quick access to incredible surf, Awera Resort is one of our top surf experiences globally and easily one of the highest standards in all of Sumatra. Private villas (all with their own pools) sit tucked in tropical greenery, though the beachfront main pool is a highlight of its own. Next to it, the spacious COCCÜ Restaurant serves food that rivals top Bali spots, with creative, high-quality dishes that truly surprise in such a remote setting. It is also paradise for non-surfers with lots of offerings to stay active and recharge. With great value and flexible dates, Awera makes it easy to fall in love.

Accommodation

Private pool villas in the Ments!

Awera’s villas are designed for comfort and privacy. Within the start of the jungle or steps from the sand, all feature private pools, warm timber interiors, king beds, and generous amounts of space. Options range from cozy one-bedroom hideaways to spacious three-bedroom layouts ideal for families or friends. Thoughtful touches like shaded daybeds, natural stone finishes, private gardens, wooden floors and daily housekeeping create a calming retreat after a day in the surf and under the sun. Island living here is effortless and soothing.

THE SURF

Top surf services in the heart of it all

Just a quick speedboat ride from left-breaking icons like Telescopes, Iceland, Scarecrows and with Awera Right right out front, this is one of our favourite surf areas in the world. Within 20 minutes, waves are numerous, varied and suit all levels. But possibilities mean little without the right support, and that’s where Awera Resort’s top surf services shine. Whether chasing soft peeling fun or hollow, makeable barrels, there’s something for all. Trips span the Central Ments and, when conditions align, strike missions South to Lances or North to Playgrounds can happen and are complimentary with surf package.

DINING

The gold standard in Sumatra?

The first time we sat down at COCCÜ restaurant, we could not believe such variety, quality and taste was possible somewhere as remote as the Mentawai Islands. Plus, ordering À La Carte with a generous amount of choice. Expect international cuisine, wood fire techniques and good wine, besides coconuts (you're still in a paradisiac island :). Couples and families can enjoy the optional privacy of separate tables & space. Yet, you can always recap the day's surf stories at COCCÜ Beach bar with a cocktail in hand, while the sky turns gold.

EXPERIENCES

Balance past the waves

Beyond the surf, Awera strives for delivering experiences outside of the lineup. The island invites slow exploration with snorkel adventures, island hopping, jungle walks, stand-up paddling, and lazy days by the pool or sea. Whether you're after movement or stillness, the wellness offerings, like daily yoga, breathwork and traditional massages, bring calm after a day under the sun. It’s the kind of place where doing nothing feels just as right as doing it all.
