ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

---

LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS

---

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.
Awera Resort and Spa is strategically located within easy access to a huge range of waves. In the bay at our beach there are three breaks, but we also have a fleet of boats to take guests to over ten additional nearby spots inc the famous telescopes. With this array of waves on hand, there’s always something to suit every style of surfing and every level— a true surfer’s paradise.
