The Resort

Awera is an exclusive beachfront surf resort with its own private beach, large pool and access to some of the best waves in the Mentawai Island chain. Being located in the Northern end of the Central Mentawi Islands, the wave options are almost endless!

The resort is well designed and is built with locally sourced materials and finished with bohemian furnishings. The resort’s onsite restaurant, where all meals are freshly prepared, looks out into the turquoise bay and is a great place to chill and watch the waves.

Surfing at Awera Resort

Awera is blessed with quality waves for all levels breaking right on their doorstep and nearby! With Awera Right (also known as Suicides), a powerful righthander breaking from 2-8ft in the right conditions. Telescopes is known as one of the most perfect waves on the planet when it’s on, with a relatively easy takeoff, the wave runs perfectly over a well-covered reef, offering up ample tube time! Other waves in the area include Icelands, Scarecrows, Ombak Tidur, and more.

For 2024, AWERA has increased their fleet of boats to a total of 3 dedicated to surfing. One 10m cabin fiberglass boat with 2 200 HP engines and another 13m long 3m wide with 3 200 HP engines for reaching more waves with more comfort. With transfers running 6am – 6pm, the surf experience is second to none. We recommend all travelers pre-purchase the surf package.

Why We Love Awera Resort

The super-comfortable Private Villas and the spacious Family Villas! Both are perfect for resting after a hard day surfing.

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
