Togat Nusa Retreat

Surrounded by palm trees, white-sand beaches, a turquoise lagoon, and the sound of reef breaks rolling in – the island is about 12 hectares, circumnavigable in half an hour along shore and jungle trails.

Scarecrows – a long left-hand reef break – peels right out front, while Telescopes, Icelands, and several other world-class waves lie within easy boat ride. Wherever you turn, there’s water, light, and a lush green landscape!

Surf is everywhere here. This region offers access to some of the more user-friendly but classic Mentawai waves. Scarecrows is practically on your doorstep and delivers classic Mentawai lefts. Telescopes, Suicides, Icelands or 7 Palms are all within easy reach by boat.

Boats depart daily to follow the best breaks, with expert surf guides onboard. Intermediate and advanced surfers will find much to love – with consistent reef breaks and hollow sections – but there’s also space for those wanting to lean into surf without pressure.

Accommodation is four bungalows built from recycled hardwoods and driftwood, all handcrafted using local timber. Each bungalow is designed for privacy and rest: fan-cooled, hot water showers, comfy beds, a private veranda, and often a beach path steps away.

Interiors are warm, textured, and rustic-chic, with antique lighting and custom furniture speaking to the soul of the place. Your comfort is simple but carefully considered; material and atmosphere both matter.

Meals here are shared moments: fresh fish, local fruit and vegetables, home-baked breads and pastries, spices and curries infused with island flavours.

The chef knows the land and sea, crafting menus that feel nourishing and real.
