A step towards the waves

We are based near the Masokut and Playgrounds area, home to some of the most consistent and fun waves in the Mentawai.
Daily boat trips are included in our all-inclusive surf package, taking you to breaks like:

  • Beng Beng: mellow left-hand point

  • Nipussi: powerful right-hander

  • Ebay: fast left with barrels

  • Pitstop: playful right-hander in front of a sandy beach

Surf season runs from March to November, with waves for all levels.

What they say about us

We had a great time at Balcony! A true family affair. We stayed in our own cute wooden bungalow by the sea, complete with balcony, lounge area and large bathroom with traditional vibes. Ale and the boys were always there to prioritize maximizing your surfing experience and no trip was an issue. They have two Balcony’s and two boats and so if we wanted to go a different break to the others it was no problem and we surfed until we couldn’t paddle anymore every time! Always coming back to delicious food prepared by Susana.

Just finished my 3 trip here. Amazing place to stay in your spacious bungalow, 10m from ocean. Listen to the waves, enjoy sunrise and great family meals. There is all you need to make you happy.

Al and his family run business are exceptional. The accommodation is a beautifully built home, with comfortable beds, great bathrooms, spacious, plenty of sea breeze and great Ocean views. Al and his family were accommodating and the Indonesian quisine as part of the package was a mixture of amazing dishes that varied each day of our trip. The boat you can hire for surf trips is also great, being spacious, and even better that it is solely used for your own private group to use each day. I cannot recommend this property enough and cannot wait to come back to Mentawai balcony again.
