Baha Baha Villa Sailo
Tucked away on the palm-fringed shores of Sipora Island in the Southern Mentawais, Villa Sailo places you front and center at one of the world’s most iconic waves — Lance’s Right.
This private beachfront villa sleeps up to 10 guests across four ensuite rooms (with twin or double options) and one stunning oceanfront suite. Surrounded by white sand and turquoise water, the location offers access to seven nearby waves, all just a short boat ride away.
Beyond the surf, the adventure continues with kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, fishing, and jungle hikes. We partner with trusted local guides who help you explore the island while supporting the local community.
Back at the villa, unwind in the tropical garden or under the pondok, take a dip in the private pool, shoot a few games of billiards, or enjoy chef-prepared Indo-Western meals with friends. With high-speed WiFi, full air-conditioning, and attentive staff, Villa Sailo blends comfort, culture, and surf in one unforgettable Mentawai escape.

Mentawai Islands
Mentawai Island chain has revolutionized surf travel since waves were discovered by hard core explorers in the 1990s. More perfect waves per square mile can be found off the West Coast of Sumatra than anywhere else in the world. There are 50 recognized quality breaks, including Hollow Trees, Macaronis, Rifles, and Green Bush. The breaks are isolated and spread out over 100 miles, so boats are the best way to access them. There are now many great land camps that offer both walking and speedboat access to the waves.
Wave Info
Nearby surf spots include: - Lance’s Right: a fast, barreling right-hand reef break, suitable for experienced surfers. - Macaronis: known as one of the most consistent waves, offering left-handers that are perfect for all levels. Best surf season: May - September, providing optimal swell and favorable wind conditions.
