Mentawai Islands & Playground Surf Resort : Indonesia’s prestine location.
Mentawai is well known for its epic surf spots - those who visit Mentawai Islands are greeting with an isolated chain of 70 islands off the coast of West Sumatra, northern Indonesia. Famed for some of the most densely packed and consistent world-class waves on the planet, this ocean playground is on every surfer’s bucket list.
It’s not uncommon here, in these tropical waters, to spend most of your day catching perfect waves.
The island chain has more than 50 amazing surf breaks, some considered the best in the world.
The region of Playgrounds it’s where you can wake up to 20 different breaks all within 20 minutes of each other.
Ben Allen, one of the guests at Playground Surf Resort described his experience :
“ Every morning I was woken by the gentle sound of ocean wash as the sun rose over crystal clear water metres from my doorstep. Now I must decide which activity to do first: a morning walk on the white sand that surrounds the island, stand-up paddleboard in front of the resort, a yoga morning stretch, snorkeling, spearfish or venture out to surf. It is paradise in every sense of the word. Catching the best waves is the ultimate goal, but relaxing and immersing yourself in the island life is just as important.”
