Mentawai Surf Retreat

With Pitstops breaking right in front of its three breezy Mentawai-style cottages, this intimate surf retreat has an enviable location on Pulau Masokut. It's popular for its comforts (king-sized beds, large open bathrooms), immediate proximity to several good waves, delicious food and fully stocked bar overlooking the surf (you can BYO also). It's professionally run and a good source of local info.
