Our Girls Surf Trip to the Mentawais

And why we now create this experience for other women

Two weeks. Warm water. Jungle islands rising out of the ocean. A small group of women who love to surf and want something more than just a holiday.

This is the exact kind of custom surf trip we now create for women who are ready for an adventure that blends progression, connection and a little barefoot luxury. If you have a group of friends and you want to do a trip without worrying about the logistics, we can create this for you,

Below is an example itinerary and one that we did in 2024.

The Journey: Easing into Indo

We begin in Bali.

Three days to land properly. To shake off travel fatigue. To surf fun, playful waves in Canggu. Morning sessions, long lunches, time to settle into rhythm. We do this intentionally. No rushing straight into remote island logistics. Just space to connect as a group and build confidence in warm water before heading further afield.

From Bali we fly to Padang and stay overnight before boarding the ferry to the Mentawais. Padang is the gateway. Board bags everywhere. That shared buzz in the air. It feels like the beginning of something bigger.

Then the ferry pulls into view of the islands and everything shifts. Jungle spilling down to reef. Clear blue water. You know you have arrived somewhere special.

Ten Nights in the Mentawais

We base ourselves at Aloita Resort for ten nights.

Beautiful beachfront bungalows. Crisp linen. Timber and open air spaces that let you fall asleep to the sound of waves. You wake up, step outside barefoot and someone else has already checked the surf before coffee. Surf boats are arranged and after breakfast and yoga it’s off to surf perfect waves, It is simple, but it feels indulgent.

The food is generous and nourishing. Fresh fish, vibrant meals, proper recovery fuel after long sessions in the water. Evenings are shared. Stories from the day. Laughter. That slow island rhythm that makes you breathe differently.

Each day the resort boats take us to nearby breaks. Long walls. Clean faces. A mix of waves that allow for both progression and flow. We shape the days around the group, the conditions and how everyone is feeling.

The Honest Part

On this particular trip, one of us was injured.

A board connected with a face and nine stitches were needed in a lip. A shoulder was hurt at the same time. Surfing stopped for the remainder of the trip.

That is not the polished version of a surf retreat. But it is real. And it reinforced why we design these trips the way we do.

Even when someone is out of the water, they are not outside the experience. There were still activities to participate in and the island vibes to soak up and a medical clinic not far away!

The Full Two Weeks

In total, the journey runs for two weeks.
Three days in Bali.
One night in Padang before the ferry.
Ten nights in the Mentawais.
One night back in Padang before flying home.

It flows naturally. Adventure without chaos. Luxury without excess. Surf at the centre of it all.

Why We Create This for Other Women

Because we know how transformative it can be.

We know what it feels like to paddle into warm Mentawai waves with other women cheering you on. We know the conversations that happen over shared dinners. The confidence that builds over ten days in consistent surf.

Most women will not plan something like this for themselves. It feels complicated. Logistically overwhelming. A little intimidating.

So we create it.

We curate the timing, the accommodation, the logistics and the surf access.

It is not just a surf trip. It is a carefully designed experience with your closest friends in one of the most iconic surf destinations in the world.

And if the Mentawais has ever been on your mind, this is your sign. 🌊💙
