AWERA Resort & Spa

AWERA Resort & Spa 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 Mentawai 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.

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.

In 2024, AWERA 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.

AWERA Resort & Spa is an oasis of sustainable luxury, where local traditions and timeless beauty combine with the highest contemporary standards of comfort. The Villas (One to Three Bedrooms) exceed all expectations of comfort, style and eco-sustainability, ensuring you have an unforgettable stay. Each villa is carefully decorated in a minimalist ethnic style.

Respecting Mentawai architecture, with traditional thatched roofs, pillars and solid wood walls, large sliding glass doors, leading out to a private deck equipped with a sofa and hammock, let you take full advantage of the breathtaking vistas. All villas are en-suite and come with air conditioning and fans for comfort.

AWERA’s restaurant overlooks the stunning white-sand bay with 3 waves breaking, what better view to enjoy your freshly cooked meals from? Awera Resort has a constantly changing menu featuring both western and local Indonesian dishes. They cater for all tastes with meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan options being available.

There is a fully stocked bar, so you can enjoy a cold beer at sunset and a snack menu if you are feeling hungry at all between meals!
