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!

We booked a trip to Niyama Maldives (13 - 20 May 2022) with Awave.

Before deciding to go to Niyama I had close contact with Giulia about what would be the best resort for that season. Giulia responded almost immediately and gave us good and detailled advice about the surf and of course also about the resort.

We had a great trip! The resort was just prefect as well as the service! Unfortunately the waves were a bit choppy and the wind cross/ onshore, but that's mother nature....... (and May is a very difficult month for the Maldives). We still surfed every day in fun size waves and had a great time.

Would definitely recommend Niyama as well as booking with Awave!

Great communication, fantastic care and attention from James who is very knowledgeable and approachable, and the product recommended to us as an alternative, Ayada, was a real paradise. We had very high expectations and we were really impressed with everything (apart from the the quality of the surfboards for hire). :)
