Remote Surf Resort in the wave-rich Mentawais

Kingfisher Resort is a beautiful boutique resort located in the heart of the Mentawai Islands, one of the most wave-rich areas in the world. The resort is your gateway to surfing some of the most consistent and perfect reef breaks in the world!

The resort is located on the shores of a beautiful bay, where the resort’s namesake, Kingfishers frequent. The white sand beach looks out to turquoise waters and is backed by palm trees, with 10 high-quality waves within 10 minutes boat ride of the resort!

The Resort

Kingfisher Resort sits on the southern tip of Sipora Island, in the Central Mentawais, within walking distance of Lance’s Left, one of the most consistent waves in the region! The resort occupies a prime beachfront location, overlooking the turquoise waters of a protected bay.

The resort has been built using traditional building materials and techniques and blends in well to its tropical island setting! With just 3 bungalows for a maximum of 10 guests, Kingfisher offers a comfortable and intimate experience! With a large restaurant, the resort also has a newly installed swimming pool to chill beside!

Waves at Kingfisher Resort

Kingfisher Resort is located in one of the most wave regions in the Mentawais. With 10 waves located within a 10-minute boat ride, there is always somewhere breaking offshore. Lance’s Left, a world-class left-hander is just a short walk from the resort, with Lance’s Right, the pin-up wave of the Mentawais being just a short boat ride away.

Nearby is Bintangs, a short but super intense, offering tubes and walls! Up the reef from Lance’s Left is Cobras, a heavy left that will spit you out to the channel. There are other semi-secret waves, rarely surfed by the charter boats in the area as well! The onsite surf guides will always be on hand to find you the best waves each session.

Why We Love Kingfisher Mentawai

The remote beauty of the resort. Located on a pristine tropical island, this really is paradise!

Having Lance’s Left on your doorstep and so many great waves within easy reach of the resort!

With only 3 bungalows, the resort is intimate and perfect for groups of friends and families traveling together!

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.
