Awera Resort

The Mentawai Islands are renowned worldwide as a surfer’s paradise and the reason is simple: the incredible abundance and variety of waves, unmatched anywhere else on Earth. There are left-handers and right-handers, rippable walls and perfect barrels, easy waves for beginners, challenging waves for experts, and everything in between. This is, without doubt, one of the world’s foremost surfing destinations, with a practically limitless range of waves.

A tropical island, the Mentawai is enjoyable all year long. However, the preferred time to visit is during the drier season (bigger wave season), from March to October, there is occasional rain like the standard tropical weather. Blessed with an average annual temperature of 30°C (86°F), Mentawai has a tropical marine climate, with ocean winds that average out annually to a breezy 3.1 meters per second. The island enjoys relatively mild dry and wet seasons. From November to February, the wet season (with smaller waves). Weather can be a bit unpredictable. Still, on average, you will get mostly sunny days and refreshing nights.

You can surf Mentawai the whole year round. The bigger waves happen between May and September, March/April/October/November. We could say that we have middle-size waves and from December to February, smaller size waves but still fun and totally surfable.

There are more than 13 surfing spots around the island reachable by boat and in the bay, at our beach, there are three breaks.

Passing through the gates of Awera, you leave the real world behind. Our Mentawai boutique resort is an oasis of sustainable luxury, where local traditions and timeless beauty combine with the highest contemporary standards of comfort.
