High-Quality Surf Resort in the Playgrounds Region

Hidden Bay Resort Mentawai sits in a pristine bay, right in the middle of the Playgrounds area of the Northern Mentawai Islands.

Located right in the middle of 24+ waves in the area, the resort is perfectly placed to get you in the spot for the wave of your life! The location, food, guiding, and onsite functional training centre, make for an incredible experience.

The Resort

Located just a short boat ride from Hideaways, Hidden Bay Resort sits on a stretch of unspoiled beach in the heart of the Playgrounds region. This location allows the resort to be within easy boat ride of all the best spots in the area!

The resort caters to a maximum of 12 surfers, keeping crowds low and the vibes high. Surf guiding on site is provided by experienced surf guides, that know every corner of the region. Quality surf guiding allows you to get the best waves possible for your level.

The resort complements the surf experience with functional training classes and throughout the year, high-performance training camps are available (chargeable extra)

Waves at Hidden Bay Resorts

Hidden Bay Resort sits in the ‘Playgrounds’ region in Northern Mentawai. They have access to 24+ waves by boat, so there are waves for all levels at all times of the year! Steep & hollow barrels, rippable walls, fun-sized waves, there is something for everyone to get stoked on.

The Peak season of May – October brings the largest swells, favoring the advanced to expert surfers, with the rest of the year serving up consistent head-high to overhead surf! Even in the peak season, intermediate-friendly surf can be found. Stand outs in the region are Kandui (world-class left), Rifles (Indo’s most perfect/fickle right), Hideaways (goofy footers dream), and many more! The expert surf guides will always get you into waves suitable for your level.

The Mentawai Islands have a lot more to offer than mind-blowing barrels! Explore the tropical reefs along the islands, go fishing, and hiking, jump on one of the boats and explore one of the many uninhabited Mentawai islands and more!

Surf Training

Throughout the season, Hidden Bay Resort plays host to advanced surf coaches. These are the perfect way to push your surfing to new limits. Please enquire about upcoming dates!

Getting there

After arriving in Padang, you would have to spend your first night in a hotel and catch the Mentawai Fast Ferry the next morning. The ferry departs on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and takes around 4 hours to get to Siberut, where Hidden Bay staff will pick you up to bring you to the resort. Alternatively, for larger groups, private speed boat transfers are available to the resort!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
