Surfcamp in the Mentawais, at your level

A unique surf experience in the heart of the Mentawai Islands — for surfers who want to experience paradise their own way.

The Mentawai Islands have been a dream destination for surfers from around the world for decades.

Perfect waves, turquoise water, untouched nature and the feeling of being completely disconnected from everyday life.

But despite their reputation for world-class waves, you don't have to be a professional surfer to enjoy the Mentawais.

At Sunset Surf Villas, you can enjoy an incredible surf environment with a wave right in front of the camp and a boat available to explore the many surf spots in the area.

Whether you travel solo, as a couple or with friends, come and experience the Mentawais at your own pace.

🌊 A wave right in front of the camp

You don't have to be a pro to surf the Mentawais

When people think about the Mentawais, they often picture powerful barrels and waves reserved for experienced surfers.

But the Mentawais offer much more than that.

Tikus, located directly in front of Sunset Surf Villas, provides a more accessible wave that can be enjoyed without even taking the boat.

It is an excellent option for intermediate surfers who want to experience the Mentawais without having to face the most challenging waves of the archipelago every day.

And when the conditions are better elsewhere, the boat gives you the opportunity to explore other waves in the area.

Choose the waves that suit your level and the conditions of the day.

🏄 The Mentawais for different levels

From intermediate surfers to experienced riders

One of the great advantages of Sunset Surf Villas is the variety of waves that can be reached from the camp.

Some spots offer more accessible conditions, while others are better suited to experienced surfers looking for more powerful and challenging waves.

The goal isn't necessarily to surf the most demanding wave possible.

The goal is to find the right wave for you, at the right time.

Whether you want to improve your surfing, make the most of every session or simply experience one of the world's most incredible surf destinations, the Mentawais offer an exceptional playground.

🚤 A boat to chase the best waves

In the Mentawais, conditions can vary significantly from one surf spot to another.

Wind, swell, tide and the exposure of each wave all play an important role.

That's why having a boat available is such an important part of the Sunset Surf Villas experience.

From the camp, you can explore different surf spots and adapt your day to the conditions.

No rigid schedule. No need to follow the same program every day.

You're here to surf.

So each morning can start with one simple question:

“Where are the best waves today?”

🏝️ A surf camp in the heart of the Mentawais

Sunset Surf Villas is located on Simakakang Island, in the Mentawai Islands.

Here, nature is everywhere.

The beach, the ocean, the palm trees and the crystal-clear water become part of your everyday life.

After a surf session, return to the camp to relax, eat, talk with other guests or simply enjoy the surroundings.

A place where surfing is at the heart of the experience, but where you also come to disconnect, slow down and enjoy island life.

👥 Traveling alone? You're welcome

You don't need to bring a group to experience the Mentawais.

Dreaming of surfing the Mentawais but don't have anyone to travel with?

That's not a reason to miss out.

Sunset Surf Villas offers a relaxed, intimate environment where solo travelers can meet other surfers and share an unforgettable experience.

Surf together.

Share meals.

Talk about the day's waves.

Explore the islands.

Watch the sunset.
