Activities
The fun stuff
Roll out of bed and into some of the world’s most coveted waves, all guided, all by private boat. Whether you’re chasing clean lines or just starting out, the reef breaks near Awera deliver. Boards at the ready, tides calling – surf’s always on your doorstep.
Surf the Mentawai Breaks (daily)
Mentawai Islands Regency,...
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,...
Sink into an hour of full-body bliss, island-style. Your massage unfolds in an open-air spa hut surrounded by jungle hum and ocean breeze. Skilled hands melt surf-tired muscles, release knots and reset your nervous system. Take it when your body says "now."
Balinese Massage (no set day)
Mentawai Islands Regency,...
Lace up for a guided hike through lush Mentawai rainforest. Hear birds, dodge vines, and swap stories with your crew en route to hidden freshwater plunge pools. Wild, sweaty, and soul-lifting—this off-grid adventure ends in a swim beneath the canopy.
Waterfall Jungle Trek (no set day)
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.
