More than just surfing...
Activities
The Mentawais offer much more than world-class surf. Explore traditional Mentawai plant medicine, fish from a traditional dugout canoe, snorkel coral reefs, beach-comb along pristine white-sand beaches, or unwind with an in-villa massage. Restaurants, a bakery, and a gym are all nearby.
Traditional Plant Medicine Tours
Explore the jungle with a local guide and discover the traditional plant medicines and customs of the Mentawai people, whose unique culture has been preserved for generations. Along the way, you'll harvest fresh tropical fruits and experience a side of the islands few visitors see.
Fishing trips
Head out on the water in a traditional Mentawai dugout canoe and try your luck targeting pelagic species with our local captain. All fishing gear is provided, and with space for just two guests, these private 3-hour trips offer an authentic and memorable island experience.
Snorkelling
Explore the crystal-clear waters surrounding the Mentawais and discover colourful coral reefs teeming with tropical marine life. A perfect activity for non-surfing days or anyone wanting to experience the islands from a different perspective.
Beach adventures
Explore the stunning beaches surrounding Jala Villas, from the white-sand shoreline right out front to countless palm-lined beaches just a short scooter ride away. Spend the day swimming, beach-combing, relaxing in the shade of coconut palms, and discovering your own slice of paradise.
