Bankvault surfcamp Mentawai

Bankvault Surf Camp was born from a deep-rooted passion for surfing and the majestic Mentawai Islands. Located on Pulau Nyang-nyang in Siberut Barat Daya, the camp provides a gateway to some of the best waves on the planet. The team of seasoned local Mentawai guides possesses intimate knowledge of every reef, tide, and secret spot in the archipelago. Daily boat trips take guests to world-class breaks including the namesake Bankvaults, plus Nipussi, Kandui, and Hideaways. The camp features traditional wooden buildings with palm-thatch roofing, two shared rooms accommodating up to 4 guests each, private ensuite bathrooms with hot water, and a full-board meal service featuring fresh local seafood and vegetarian options. Beyond surfing, guests can explore hidden lagoons, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, or relax in hammocks. The philosophy here is simple: surfing is more than a sport, it is a lifestyle, and every guest becomes part of the extended island family.
