Beyond the Break: Awera Island Surf Retreat
Ten days of reef breaks, yoga flows and barefoot luxury, anchored in Indonesia’s wildest wave sanctuary.
Overview
The lowdown
This is salt-soaked luxury, Mentawais style. Your own beachfront villa, private plunge pool and world-class waves out front. Bring your board or opt into guided boat trips to the Mentawai’s best breaks. When you’re not surfing, or if that’s not your thing, there’s plenty to be doing. Two daily yoga sessions, three daily chef-led meals served by the sea – all delicious, all included – and space to just be. SUPs, snorkels, serenity – it’s all yours. Luxe enough for a romantic escape, relaxed enough to go with mates. Or just go it alone. Take a breather. Enjoy the quiet. Because here there’s no crowds. No chaos. No shoes needed. Just you, the ocean, and the rhythm of the island.

The quarters
A modern city hotel with all the comforts you need after a long-haul. Think crisp sheets, hot showers, and a hearty breakfast before and after island time. A soft landing pad to reset and refuel in Padang.
Grand Zuri Padang
Padang, ID
The star of the show. Think secluded beachfront villas with plunge pools, hammocks and direct surf access. A space designed for slow mornings, salty skin and barefoot living – anchored in wellness and whisper-close to the waves.

Activities
The fun stuff
Flow into the day at first light, then wind down as the sun dips behind the palms. Twice-daily yoga sessions on the deck help you ground, breathe and move in sync with island time.
Sunrise & Sunset Yoga
Mentawai Islands Regency,...
Snorkel straight off the beach into clear, coral-rich waters. Spot reef fish, float over turquoise blues, or simply let the saltwater reset your nervous system.
Ocean Dips & Reef Floats
Mentawai Islands Regency,...
Grab a SUP and glide across glassy water just steps from your villa. Paddle solo or together – no bookings, no fuss, just ocean and freedom.
Stand-Up Paddle Sessions
Mentawai Islands Regency,...
Unplug (or don’t) in your own villa oasis. Morning coffee on the deck, poolside pages, or siestas with nothing but birdsong and breeze.
Private Villa Downtime
Mentawai Islands Regency,...
Follow the curve of your private shoreline. Shells, warm sand, maybe a barefoot run – or just wander with no map and no need for one.
Beach Walks & Salt Air Wanders
Mentawai Islands Regency,...
Level up your stay with spa treatments, guided SUP tours, clear kayak adventures, waterfall treks, surf lessons, snorkel trips, or private beach picnics. All gear is complimentary. Choose your moments. The island’s got range.
