Included

    • Schedule: Arrive To Padang on a Thursday (airport pickup) - Friday morning ferry to resort to check in/ check out on Friday to return to Padang - Saturday depart Padang (transfer to airport)

      Ferrys: Mentawai Fast ferry departs Padang at 7.00 am on Fridays (via Sikakap) and returns to Padang the same day with arrival scheduled at 6.30 pm, servicing our most popular trip duration of 8 Surfing Days / 7 Resort Nights (highly recommended).

    • Due to early morning departures and late arrivals back to Padang, your flight needs to arrive in Padang 1 day before your resort Check-in date and depart 1 day after your resort Check-out date. This requires transit nights in Padang, which are convenient for breaking up travel and resting between it.

    • We recommend a night at the 4-star Mercure Hotel, which has comfortable, well-appointed rooms and the best early-morning breakfast buffet in Padang. Alternatively, cheaper options are Plan B or Budget Hotel, which is directly across the road from the ferry terminal.

    • You will be picked up from your hotel around 6.30 a.m., and Mentawai Fast departs at 7.00 a.m. Arrival at Sikakap Port in Mentawai is scheduled around 12.00 p.m., followed by a one-hour speedboat transfer to the resort, arriving around lunchtime.

    • Mentawai Fast departs Sikakap Port on Fridays around 1.00 pm, with an arrival to Padang scheduled around 6.30 pm. In case of any delays, a flight departure at 11.00 am or later the next day is recommended to have a good rest in the morning of your trip out of Padang.

    • Subject to room availability, guests can request an extension to instead depart the resort on Sunday or Thursday overnight ferry if wanting to stay longer. Guests can also request to depart Padang to the resort on the overnight ferry, subject to there being last-minute room availability. We prioritize transfers aboard the Mentawai Fast Ferry which is the faster and more comfortable option.

    • Travel Insurance is Mandatory When Visiting

      All bookings are non refundable and any changes made to your booking less than 90 days before commencement would normally result in a change fee

      Travel insurance should be taken out 90 days before booking commencement in case there is an unforeseen need to reschedule your trip (Eg. illness, injury, or family emergency).

      For the safety of our guests and readiness of our staff

      • You must have travel insurance that covers surfing (if applicable) & remote medical evacuation.
      • You must bring with you a printed copy of your travel insurance certificate including an emergency contact phone number & policy identification details.

      Emergency Evacuation Details

      Emergency evacuation is not included and must be organized and paid for by a 3rd party insurance provider or your next of kin. All guests must have medical evacuation insurance coverage in order to visit and more importantly to be evacuated in the case of an emergency.

      Management will assist in coordinating with your travel insurance provider to get the needed assistance. The Resort is not responsible for emergency evacuation availability or costs; this is agreed upon by all guests in our Terms and Conditions of Booking which all guests must agree to before visiting.

LIFE AROUND THE Resort

Life around the Mentawai surf resort is a dream for surf enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Nestled in the heart of the Mentawai Islands, the resort is surrounded by lush jungle, crystal-clear waters, and some of the best waves on the planet. Mornings start with the hum of boat engines heading out to the surf breaks, where glassy waves peel effortlessly over pristine reefs. Whether you’re paddling out at Macaronis, exploring nearby surf spots, or simply floating in the turquoise lagoon, every moment is about connecting with the ocean. When the surf session ends, the resort offers a tranquil escape—lounging in an overwater hammock, sipping a fresh coconut, or indulging in a well-earned massage at the spa.

Beyond the waves, the resort embraces the slow, easy rhythm of island life. Guests can explore hidden jungle trails, go snorkeling with vibrant marine life, or try their hand at fishing with the local crew. The infinity pool is the perfect place to cool off after a long surf, while the open-air restaurant serves up fresh seafood and tropical flavors daily. Evenings are spent watching breathtaking sunsets, sharing surf stories over a cold beer, or gathering around a beach bonfire under a sky full of stars. Here, the days are filled with adventure, relaxation, and the simple joy of living by the sea.
