August/september - LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE
What to Expect.
What surfer hasn’t ever dreamed on surfing the Mentawai's? The archipelago of the coast off Sumatra poses the highest density of world-class waves in the world.
Our location, a lonely island, an exuberant tropical paradise with a world class left hander right in front.
The thread that will bring us together here is the surf. So consequently, it will be our guide throughout the week. However, great food, bodywork and other great humans are all part of the experience. We will have a day out with some surprises, and we will be chasing the swell into different spots nearby if it is required.
Trip Highlights
The Surf
Situated on Pitojat Island, off the northern end of Sipora Island, guests to Togat Nusa Retreat have access to a number of quality breaks, all within a short boat ride of the Island.
The Venue
Looking out over a turquoise lagoon at the front of the island. Life at the Togat Nusa is barefoot, salty and smiling.
The Bodywork
Experience the power of bodywork alongside the immersive experience of the retreat, and being surrounded by nature.
Where You’ll Stay
Four traditionally inspired Bungalows, each uniquely designed and built in the same style as the main building, using recycled timbers and driftwood. Each bungalow is setup to accommodate 2 (unless already organized) people , for a total of 8 guests on the island at any one time. All have private bathrooms with running hot water.
The funky interior design incorporates hand built custom furniture and antique lighting and fixtures left over from Dutch fishing vessels.
A Typical Day
The water temperature is always around 80 degrees (27 degrees Celsius) no matter what time of year you visit.
The dry season in this area spans from February to September and the wet season typically occurs between October – January. At any time of the year however expect regular rainfall in short intervals – heavy at times.
