You wake to the sound of waves rolling toward the reef. The soft light filters through palm trees. The ocean view stretches in front of you. This is how every morning begins at Mentawai Balcony.

Here, you don’t just stay with us. You live with us. You eat, surf, and relax as part of our family.

Mornings at Mentawai Balcony start slow. The air is warm, the ocean is alive, and breakfast waits in the kitchen prepared with love. Our family prepares every meal from scratch. Fresh fruit, eggs, rice, or fish from the morning catch. The coffee is strong and local.

As you eat, the surf guide will look at today’s forecast and plan your surf trip for the day. The sound of waves replaces alarms. There’s no rush. Just sea breeze and calm conversation.

After breakfast, it’s time to surf. Our son, your surf guide, checks the tide and wind to pick the best spot for the session. Depending on conditions, you’ll surf near Beng Beng, Pitstop, or Playground Area. Each wave has its own rhythm and character.

He’ll take you by boat or lead a paddle from the beach. You surf in small groups, never crowded. You can focus on your wave and enjoy every ride. For beginners or those looking to improve, the shoulder season offers gentler swells and easier takeoffs. Back at the bungalows, lunch is waiting.

Mentawai Balcony is not a resort. It’s our home. We live here year-round, surrounded by the sea, garden, and surf. When you stay with us, you join our way of life.

You wake with the sound of the ocean. You eat what we cook. You surf with our son. You relax with our family. Guests often tell us it feels like visiting old friends. That’s how we want it to be.

We are now taking bookings for 2025 and 2026. We host only a few small groups at a time, so early reservations are best.

If you want a Mentawai surf stay that feels personal, local, and peaceful, Mentawai Balcony is waiting for you.

Book your surf trip now and experience life like a local in the Mentawai Islands.

Afternoons are flexible. You can join another surf session or rest in the shade. Some guests read on the balcony. Others nap in hammocks or walk to the nearby village. You might see our father working in the garden or checking the boat. He keeps everything running smoothly. The rhythm of the day moves at island speed. There’s no schedule, just flow.

Afternoon: Slow Down or Surf Again

As the sun sets, we all gather again in the garden. Dinner smells drift through the garden. Everyone sits together, family and guests alike.

You share stories of the day, waves, wipeouts, and laughter. Our wife cooks every meal with care. Fish grilled over charcoal, rice, vegetables, and a bit of chilli for spice. After dinner, the stars fill the sky. You sit back, breathe, and feel part of something real.

Evening: Family Dinners and Stories by the Sea
