- 2 speedboats per day for surfing with experienced surf guides
- Daily warm-up session with their partner, Andai Pilates team
- 1 land exercise
- Surf simulator workshop
- Surf analysis every nights
Generalities
Mentawai's every surfer's consumption dream. The amount, variety, consistency, and quality of the waves is famous. To top it off, it is located in a tropical paradise away from large centers with nature still sovereign and almost untouched.
It was exactly in this scenario that the idea of building a surfing resort with the differential of providing a unique experience was born. Alexandre Ribas is one of the founders and currently lives at the resort with his family.
It is he who receives hundreds of surfers every year and his job is to offer a place where, in addition to super comfortable and pleasant accommodation and infrastructure, he also has a permanent training center with a gym, yoga space, and natural, healthy, and tasty food. a work done with passion.
It all started in 2013 and, from the beginning, the idea has always been to provide the best possible experience of support for surfers and entertainment for family and companions, even without being surfers.
Andai Pilates was the first partnership, and to this day it organizes from intermediate to advanced surfers, offering various activities such as Pilates, yoga, and functional, and relaxation exercises. The five Konzept method is also used and is one of the highlights for offering physical regeneration techniques with simple and efficient movements.
All this work, in addition to entertaining non-surfers, offers the opportunity for surfers to be ready to face the real surfing marathon during their stay. The result and the highlights that the resort has achieved in the last few years have become a reference in the region for those seeking comfort and well-being.
The psychological part is also another strong point. At the resort, all electronic devices are avoided. The idea is to have nature and isolation as an ally in the task of disconnecting from the outside world and reconnecting with yourself. The motto is to take your surfing to a new level, while enjoying the resort bay and amid the best waves in the world.
The menu is based on healthy and natural meals mixing international and local dishes, but always giving the right nutrients to make you ready for all new surfing sessions. This is a real surf marathon and you will find what you need to enjoy it fully.

Location
The Mentawai Islands are a chain of more than seventy islands and islets on the Indian Ocean located approximately 150 kilometers from the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The strait that separates them from Sumatra is the Mentawai Strait. Siberut (4,030 kilometers square) is the largest island.
The other major islands are Sipura, North Pagai (Pagai Utara), and South Pagai (Pagai Selatan), and the indigenous inhabitants of the islands are known as the people of the Mentawais. The Mentawai Islands have become a major surfing destination in the last decade.
The resort is located in the middle of the 20 waves of the northern region of the Mentawai. What facilitates rapid access to most waves within 20 minutes by boat. The nearest peak is to the left of Hideaways which is less than five minutes from the resort and further away is the wave of Bugerworld that mostly works in the days of small waves.
Several secrets are easily accessible on auspicious days, and to complete with the ideal conditions, two right and left can be surfed in front of the resort with high tide. The resort was chosen for being at one of the most constant areas with the highest concentration of perfect waves throughout Indonesia.
Independent of wind direction, size, and direction of the swell, there will always be good surfing around. On days with good conditions, several peaks with different characteristics will provide unique sessions for all types of surfers.
The waves
The resort is located in the Playgrounds area, with the highest diversity of good waves in the Mentawai Islands. Every wave is within 15 minutes' speedboat ride from the resort and the closest one is Hideaways only three minutes by boat.
We also have a great right-hander just for us in front of the resort.
There is always a protected wave somewhere with an offshore wind.
Hidden Bay Resort Mentawais' swell window is huge from 240 SW through to 165 SE and the area gets consistently hit by a lot of swell from the Indian Ocean. The waves are the closest Mentawai waves to mainland Sumatra, which means less travel time for you to access the perfect waves.
Hidden Bay Resort Mentawais has waves that suit everyone, from intermediate to professional surfers. The guest capacity is limited to 12 surfers, which means more waves for everybody. Every difficult wave has an alternate and easier wave nearby. This means you can divide the group by different surf levels.
In addition to the huge variety of famous waves of international quality, there are still many other secrets or semi-secret spots of excellent quality in the zone which is not shared in the website.
Burgerworld
It’s a right-hander mushier and good for turns ideal for days with little or no waves as it’s a kind of swell magnet.
Beng beng
This is a fun left-hander that provides a good wall for turns and an occasional little barrel at the take-off on lower tides. A good option when the swell is small and west.
E-bay
E-bay is a hollow fast left with a good barrel section. It is very good when there is a good west swell around.
Pitstops
This is the right which is located next to E-bay. It’s a small to medium wave excellent for turns and very photogenic, breaking over a slab sometimes producing a small barrel on the takeoff followed by good sections for powerful turns or airs ending literally on the sand.
Nipussi
Nipussi is a right-hander a little further down the line from Bank Vaults, a mushier wave good wave for turns that occasionally produces short barrels on the take-off close to the rocks at low tide. It is one of the best options when the swell is very small as it works as a wave a magnet.
Bankvaults
Bankvaults is a heavy and hollow deep water right-hander with two distinct sections, one closer to the channel provides good heavy barrels, and another deeper section also provides very good waves under ideal conditions and can connect to the channel on epic days. You need to watch out for bigger sets that come out of nowhere.
Hideaways
Hideaways is a heavy and hollow left that breaks over a very shallow irregular reef of colorful corals. The wave has a late drop ‘ledge’ style and deep barrels on the deeper section close to the main peak, an easier takeoff with a section good for turns breaking wider.
No Kandui
No Kandui or simply Kandui is a super fast hollow left throwing deep heavy barrels on every section. When the factors are aligned and the size and direction of the swell combine with the right, the wave turns into a tubular high-speed express that runs for hundreds of yards providing many deep tubes behind the peak from one section to another.
It’s no wonder that Kandui is considered one of the best waves in the world! It needs a southwest swell and southeast winds to be perfect.
A-frames
As the name suggests, it’s a peak that opens both left and right forming an “A’ frame, it’s a fat wave good for turns that end in the channel, the left is better, hollower, and can throw some good barrels on the inside at lower tides ending in the channel.
Rifles
Rifles is one of the best waves on the Mentawai islands. It is long, perfect, and with many barrel sections.
