  • Profile

    M.I.A Surfcamp is a beach front surf camp located in the Northern Mentawai Islands (Playgrounds area) on Nyang Nyang Island, right in front of a break named Nipussi which is the most consistent, user friendly wave in the region by far; plus there’s another 4 waves on our doorstep that are more suited to the advanced surfers and bodyboarders one of which is the world famous Bankvaults. On top of this all five waves out front are clearly visible from your spacious accommodation and all areas of camp, so even between surfs your constantly watching epic surf roll in.

    Your experience at M.I.A is paramount, and it’s for this reason we limit our numbers to a maximum of only eight guests at any one time. This boutique style is a more personal experience and surpassing expectations is our goal. For us our trips are not about reaching high numbers, but delivering great experiences (and waves), at a very reasonable price.

    TRADITIONAL BUILT BUNGALOWS “UMA’S”

    Our beautiful beach-front surf camp features two traditional locally built guest bungalows only a stones throw from the water’s edge. They feature Italian made 5 star pillow top mattresses and linen with mosquito nets, fans, lockable wardrobes, international wall sockets and large spacious balconies with fixed bench sofas and removable hammocks, perfect to chill out, read a book, use WiFi and watch the waves out front between surfs. All five reef breaks are visible from both bungalows, you can see the waves from your bed, choose which one to surf as the sun rises up over the horizon.

    ​Each bungalow has its own separate en-suite with western toilets and showers,​ both also have an outside beach shower and board racks.

    ​Couples rooms are also available upon request.

    MAIN HOUSE, BAR & SOCIAL AREA:

    ​Our main building which is located 25 m from the Nipussi keyhole has just had a major upgrade. This is the area guests spend majority of their time when lounging around or having a beer and socialising in between surf sessions.

    At the bar, we sell a variety of beers (7AUD pint size cans) and the occasional liquor (your welcome to bring duty free), soft drinks and specialty snacks. Our bartender/masseuse will deliver your bar balance on last day of your trip.

    This house also has our TV area, coffee & tea (free of charge), a range of board games, library, dart board, ping-pong table, bean bags and hammocks for chilling in between your surf sessions.

    Our separate dining area is where all meals will be served (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and during meals will display your surf photos from the day before, Wave of the day always receives a free beer!!. There will also be extra snacks (free of charge) in this area which you are more then welcome to help yourself.

    Our lounge area has satellite cable on our 52 inch TV same as any western cable television. WiFi has the best signal in this area also, so you can keep in touch with your loved ones and brag about your trip.

    SPEEDBOAT:

    ​To make the journey in between different breaks nice and quick our speedboat has 2 x 50 hp engines with a cruising speed of 30 knots +, we also have a small run about which is available in case there’s only a few people in the group with lots of snacks and refreshments on board in case of those longer then expected surfing sessions.

    At every surf spot, there is also a chance to fish, spearfish and snorkel so there is something for everyone.

    ​With 10 years experience in the area we always have an experienced surf-guide to make sure you score the best waves. With over 30+ accessible breaks in the area we can 100% guarantee you will score waves everyday of your trip. We encourage you to trust the surf guides decisions on where to surf as they know the area well and also want to score the best waves.

      You could not stay closer to the surf without getting wet.
      30 steps from bed to the keyhole. Or 15 steps to ice cold Bintangs and great food. Tropical paradise surrounded by incredible waves.

        Hi Terry,

        Thanks for the review, we are pretty lucky and stoked you enjoyed the place. Hopefully see you next year.

      This camp is the best I have been.The trip was catered for myself and my dad so we could share waves and get no one out front every morning. Location makes it unique to enjoy uncrowded waves and your choice of challenging or mello. I have booked again for next year. Thanks to Shannon and his epic team they really know the waves and hospitality. 5 stars from us!!!

        Hi James

        Thanks heaps for the review. Can’t wait for you guys to come back, camp is looking so good and stoked to reopen next year. See you in July for pumping waves!

        Thx Shannon and Kylie

      I have been to MIA three times now and can’t wait to get back there again. It has the best location in the area by far – the main bungalow is meters from the Nipussy keyhole and other breaks are visible from there while you have a cold bintang at the end of the day. Shannon has been out there a long time and knows where to go and when. He also has great, friendly and honest staff. Would recommend to anyone.

        Hi Matthew

        Yep, our location is pretty good. Glad you have enjoyed your time, you won’t even recognise the place next time you come. Hope to see you out there soon, and thanks for the ongoing support, here’s to trip number 4.

        Thx Shannon
