Sabbit Mentawai is a locally owned, surf-first hideaway on Nyang Nyang (Masokut) Island, set under palms with lagoon water out front and Playgrounds lines to the horizon. The drawcard is location: you’re about two minutes by boat from E-Bay and Pitstops, with 10+ world-class waves spread within short hops, so sessions stack up fast and the strike rate stays high. Capacity tops out at around 14 guests, which keeps the vibe friendly and boats uncrowded.

Days here run on Mentawai time. Wake to the forest and the reef, fuel up, then chase the best option for wind and tide. When it’s playful you’ll be trading turns at Beng Bengs, Pitstops or 4 Bobs; when the ocean flexes you’re angling into E-Bay’s freight-train sections or stepping up for nearby heavier options. Local owners and crew know these reefs intimately, and the whole experience feels like staying with surfers who live it, not a faceless resort.

The camp itself is tropical, eco-minded bungalows tucked among fruit trees and sand paths, communal areas for meals and planning, and easy add-ons like snorkelling, fishing or island walks when the arms are toast. Travel is straightforward: fly to Padang, and the team can arrange everything from airport pickup to ferry and harbour transfers to get you seated on the boat and pointing at turquoise water with minimum faff.

If your idea of a Mentawai trip is more surfing, less noise, real local hospitality, quick runs to marquee waves, and a camp that keeps things honest and surf-centric, Sabbit puts you right where you want to be
