Luxury Resort a stone’s throw away from Hollow Tree’s

Hollow Tree’s Resort is just a stone’s throw away from one of the Mentawais premier waves Hollow Tree’s (also known as Lance’s Right). Since it was first surfed by the pioneers of the Mentawais, Hollow Trees has been the poster child of the Mentawais, churning out perfect right-hand tubes for the lucky surfers that make the trip!

Hollow Tree’s Resort allows you to surf this incredible wave with all of the comfort and convenience you would expect from a quality surf resort. The rooms are large and spacious and are seconds away from the beach! Hollow Tree’s Resort is perfect for bringing partners and the family along to experience the magic of the Mentawais!

The Resort

Situated on the remote Sipora Island in the Mentawais, Hollow Tree’s Resort is located within reach of 10 world-class waves, with the standout right-hander, Hollow Trees (Lance’s right) just a short paddle over the lagoon from the bungalows! All the accommodation is scattered along the beachfront of Katiet Beach with a total of 8 rooms in 4 stand-alone villas.

Hollow Tree’s Resort allows you to experience the beauty and remoteness of the Mentawai Islands, whilst having all the comfort and service to make for a relaxing and revitalizing trip!

Waves at Hollow Tree’s Resort

Hollow Tree’s Resort has access to some of the best waves in the Mentawais. Right out front is Hollow Tree’s (Lance’s Right), a picture-perfect right-hander that serves up some of the best tubes in the region, watch out for the ‘Surgeon’s Table’ at the end, a shallow reef platform that catches out those who don’t exit early enough! Around the corner, you have Lance’s Left, a long, consistent left-hander working in opposite winds to HT’s.

Cobras is an A-frame peak breaking nearby to Lance’s Left, offering good left-hand barrels. Nearby is Bintangs, a shallow dredging right-hander that on medium swells offers short right barrels and is playful in smaller swells. There are a load more waves to be explored with the surf team onsite, meaning there is always a wave to be found for your level!

Why We Love HT's Resort

World-class Hollow Tree’s on your doorstep. HT’s is one of the best right-hand barrels in the world and should be on every surfers ‘must surf’ list!

The villas are bright, airy, spacious, and beautifully designed. Perfect to come back and relax in after a long day of surfing!

The onsite restaurant’s food. Hollow Tree’s Resort knows how important food is to a surf trip. They really go the extra mile with the quality of food that they serve up!

The Rooms

Hollow Tree’s Resort has designed its villas to reflect the simple life on Sipora Island. All of the interior features have been built using recycled wood or sustainable natural materials. The whitewashed walls and ceiling give the feeling of space and large windows allow natural light to fill the living areas.

All rooms come with their own large ensuite bathrooms with hot water at all times. Air conditioning is also installed in all rooms for your comfort. Every villa also comes with its own swimming pool for you to relax beside and take a dip!

The Cuisine

Choose something savoury or sweet from the mouthwatering menu, which has been carefully created to reflect the unique flavours of Indonesia. You will also find a wide range of French and Thai dishes, from pasta dishes to tom yum goong (spicy shrimp soup) and pad Thai (Thai-style fried noodles). Lunch and dinner is served buffet-style, allowing you to fill up on as much food as you can put away!

Perfect presentation and service with a smile is guaranteed for everyone who dines at our restaurant. Start your day with coffee, fresh fruit and eggs/bacon, before indulging in a delectable fresh seafood platter or traditional Indonesian dishes, such as Nasi Goreng or Rendang. Conclude your dining experience by sinking your teeth into a scrumptious dessert. HT’s chef, Saka, recommends the crรจme brรปlรฉe.

Activities

When you’re not surfing the perfect waves in the area you have a wide range of activities to try! Guest can snorkel the reefs, hike through the interior of the island, fish (both from land and boats), explore with kayaks, and cruise around the lagoon on the resort’s Stand Up Paddle boards. There is always something to do at Hollow Tree’s 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.
