The Mentawai Island Escape: Indonesia

What you’ll

dream

about before arriving

This 10-day Mentawai Island Escape is designed for intermediate to advanced surfers ready to experience one of the world’s most wave-rich surf destinations, with conditions tailored to support real progression at every level.

꩜ The Escape

You’ll be based at Awera Resort, an oceanfront surf-focused resort with direct access to world-class waves by boat. Each day is shaped by surf with experienced guides ensuring you’re surfing the right waves at the right time.

꩜ Life on the Island

Our coaching team adapts to all levels in the water, helping you improve speed, flow, turn mechanics, positioning, and decision-making. Regular video analysis and in-water filming support your progression throughout the trip.

꩜ Surf, Film, Progress, Repeat

Back at the resort, everything is designed for surf, recovery and connection — with ocean-view villas, a jungle setting, infinity pool, yoga shala, gym, spa and nourishing meals. Accommodation is in shared jungle bungalows with ensuite bathrooms and AC.

꩜ 18–29 March 2027

Intermediate Retreat

Shoulder Season: Fun, forgiving, and perfect for progression.

March in the Mentawais is all about dreamy, consistent surf with glassy conditions and uncrowded line-ups. It’s one of the most enjoyable times of year to be in the islands.

This retreat is designed for intermediate surfers who are independently catching their own waves, confident in chest to head-high conditions, and comfortable performing bottom turns on both forehand and backhand.

This is the perfect environment to refine your technique, build confidence and experience some of the best sessions of your life with an incredibly inspiring all-female crew!

What will we focus on?

We’ll work on improving your bottom turns, developing stronger top turns and cutbacks, building speed, and helping you draw cleaner, more confident lines in the wave.

With regular video analysis, in-water photography and coaching feedback, we’ll break down your surfing in detail so you can clearly see and improve throughout the trip.

Most importantly, this trip is about progression with support. It’s normal to feel a little nervous surfing somewhere new — but with a strong, supportive group of women around you, you’ll be encouraged to push your limits, celebrate your wins and unlock a new level of confidence in your surfing.

꩜ 20 - 31 May 2027

Advanced Retreat

May marks the start of peak surf season in the Mentawais, when consistent swell delivers head-high to overhead waves across a wide variety of world-class breaks.

This trip is designed for experienced surfers who are comfortable in bigger surf and ready to push your limits! With over 10 world-class breaks accessible by boat — plus quality waves right in front of Awera Resort — every day is about chasing the best possible sessions.

What will we focus on?

This retreat is about progression through challenge, in a supportive and motivating environment. With regular video analysis, in-water photography and coaching feedback, we’ll break down your surfing in detail so you can clearly see and improve throughout the trip.

Peak Season: Powerful, consistent and all about sending it.
