Why choose us over any other Mentawai retreat?!

We have exclusive use of the resort, which means we are able to select where and when we surf, and what time suits our group for yoga and other activities. This is a major selling factor, as most others resorts have one boat that must be shared among other guests with all different surfing abilities, not ideal for long boarders or novice surfers. The main factor in picking this resort to host us compared to the others, was for this reason. Not to mention that we an uncrowded point break suitable for long boarders just steps from our door way!

Accommodation, food, yoga, surf coaching, video analysis and unlimited boat usage to take us to the perfect waves to suit our ability are among some of the wonderful things all included. Another HUGE selling point is that we only take a max of 7 guests to make sure you’ll get lots of waves and one on one time! We will have two longboard specific local coaches and very experienced western guides to make sure you're always feeling safe and supported in the waves. Please note that surfing experience is necessary for this retreat. You must be able to catch your own waves and above all, feel comfortable in the water. 

​

We will have a daily yoga practice in the beachfront shala at our beautiful resort, that will help you regain your strength and ease your surfer muscles. Our teacher will incorporate different forms of breath work into the practice that can help you with situations that may arise in the water. We find that the pairing of yoga, breath and surfing go hand in hand in more ways than one. No matter your yoga experience we can cater the practice to you, giving you the challenges, explanations or rest that you need.

The Mentawai Islands are so incredibly special for many reasons, one of them being that they are extremely remote! This also means they can be a little bit of an adventure to get to. SEAFOLK will do everything we can to make this experience as seamless as possible for you. You will need to allow for a day on either side of the retreat for your travel. You will fly into Padang the night before the retreat starts. We have included in the price of the retreat your hotel in Padang on the arrival day. There are a few options for us to travel from Padang to the remote Mentawai Islands, via plane or ferry. We will be sure to pick the best method that suits our group! 

Journeying to this secluded yet extraordinary corner of the world is an unforgettable and beautiful experience. Nevertheless, the location's isolated nature sometimes necessitates adjustments due to weather conditions. Embrace this as part of the adventure—relax and savour the moment! That’s why we’re here!

To make it stress free and easy for you :)
