Renowned for its world-class surfing, the Mentawai Islands are a tropical paradise located 150 kilometres off the western coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. This regency comprises around a hundred islands and islets, featuring lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and turquoise waters. The islands' remote location has preserved the unique culture of the indigenous Mentawai people, who maintain traditional lifestyles and spiritual practices deeply connected to the natural environment. Historical landmarks include ancient megaliths and traditional Uma longhouses. The main towns, such as Tua Pejat, provide access points to explore the archipelago’s stunning landscapes. Besides surfing, visitors can enjoy trekking, diving, and wildlife spotting.
