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!

Fishing

For the easy-going angler, the tropical waters of Sipora offer brilliant conditions for fishing. Most of the surf breaks around the island are accessed via boat, so in between surf sessions, you can often drop a line and catch something for dinner!

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!
