Solid Surf House Mentawai is a stylish, surf-focused retreat on Sipora Island that blends comfort, modern design and an easygoing social atmosphere. Unlike many stripped-back surf stays, their Mentawai property offers impressively finished rooms, thoughtfully furnished interiors and a relaxed boutique feel, while still keeping the experience accessible to solo travellers, couples and surf groups.

The camp is built around simplicity done well. Rooms are bright, clean and contemporary, with quality bedding, tasteful decor, polished bathrooms and a standard far above the typical “budget camp” image. Whether staying in private rooms or shared options, the environment feels calm and inviting.

Daily life revolves around surfing. The team organises boat trips to nearby breaks across Sipora and the surrounding islands, giving guests access to a wide network of reefs, points and playful peaks. Solid Surf House’s Mentawai branch tends to attract travellers who want wave-rich days, a social but not rowdy atmosphere and the freedom to shape their trip around conditions. Beginners can find guidance, intermediates can steadily progress, and advanced surfers can chase heavier reefs with group missions.

Meals, communal spaces and the general layout encourage connection. Shared dining areas, chill zones, palm-shaded corners create a familiar Solid Surf House vibe - surf-centric, friendly and internationally mixed. It’s the kind of place where people gather over breakfast to talk swell charts, load into a boat mid-morning, and wind down in the evening sharing stories of the day’s best waves.

The Mentawai camp sits in a sweet spot between the ultra-basic island huts and the high-end resort villas. It gives you modern rooms, warm Indonesian hospitality, good food, boat access to world-class waves, and a crowd of like-minded travellers - all at a level of comfort that makes long stays feel effortless.

Summary: A modern, surf-first Mentawai camp with surprisingly stylish rooms, organised surf missions, a friendly international vibe and access to Sipora’s world-class waves.
