Program
Escape to paradise: Surf in Mentawai Islands!
At Vaya Mentawai, each day is designed to balance thrilling surf sessions with relaxation and comfort. Their surf guides will offer several sessions to the best waves of the day, ensuring that you’re always at the right spot. More than 20 world-class waves are a short boat ride away, and their beach terrasse faces eBay and stunning sunsets.
The camp: Your home away from home
Vaya Mentawai offers you a unique experience - from guided surf trips and chill sessions at the pool to enjoying delicious meals crafted by their chef from local ingredients.
You can expect multiple surf sessions each day, as well as boat transfers to nearby breaks. When the waves settle down, unwind by the pool or the wellness space, stretch on the yoga deck, or just explore the surrounding nature.
Meals are included in your stay, as well as trips and guiding, the swimming pool, wellness space, and all onsite amenities.
The surf experience
Daily surf trips: Right time, right place
Vaya Mentawai's experienced surf guides will organize at least two boat trips a day to the best waves of the day, ensuring that you’re always at the right spots. Extra session, anyone? Their small boat will be available to taxi you anytime to nearby breaks such as Beng Beng, eBay, and pitstops.
Short walk to iconic breaks
Pitstop and eBay are just a short walk from the camp, perfect for squeezing in extra sessions whenever you'd like to.
Vaya Mentawai's area has an incredible variety of waves for all levels, and during the shoulder or fun season, waves tend to be a bit more forgiving, offering slightly mellower conditions that are still fun but less intense than the peak season. If you're confident in handling varied ocean conditions, you'll have an incredible time, no matter when you visit.
Here’s what a typical day looks like:
Morning:
- Early breakfast with fresh coffee or tea
- Surf session guided by Vaya Mentawai's experienced surf guide

Afternoon:
