Driftwood Mentawai
Trip fit
About this camp
Driftwood Mentawai sits on the point of Ebay, a quality left-hander on Nyang Nyang Island (also known as Pulau Masokut) in the northern Mentawai region of West Sumatra, Indonesia. The resort caps guest numbers at 12 across six bedrooms, keeping the atmosphere small and the lineups relatively uncrowded for a land-based operation in this part of the archipelago.
What makes it different
Driftwood limits capacity to 12 guests across six rooms, with a right and a left breaking directly in front of the property and roughly 20 additional named breaks reachable within 25 minutes by boat. The all-inclusive rate covers guiding, transfers, and meals, removing most on-the-ground logistics for guests.
Skill level
The waves directly in front of the resort and those accessible by boat are powerful reef breaks that suit intermediate to advanced surfers comfortable on hollow, fast-moving waves. Complete beginners would find the local surf environment challenging and should have prior experience on open-face waves before visiting.
