Most Mentawai Surf Camps Run on Their Schedule, Not Yours.

Shared boats. Fixed departure times. 12 strangers at the dinner table. If you’ve done a surf charter before, you know the drill.

Villa Onu is different. Maximum 10 guests. Your chef, your waves, your schedule. No strangers. No fixed boat times. Just you and your people.

Tired of shared boats, fixed schedules, and crowded surf resort?

Welcome to Villa Onu. Hosting a maximum of 10 guests, we keep things personal. Your chef, your surf sessions, your schedule. No outside guests, no waiting on large groups, and no fixed boat departures. Just quality waves and good company with your crew.

Your Private Home in the Mentawais

Villa Onu is a private beachfront villa in South Sipora, a short paddle to HT’s, with Lance’s Left just around the corner. Maximum 8-10 guests.

Your private chef prepares a fresh menu every day, tailored to your tastes, dietary needs and cravings — Indonesian, Western, Japanese, Mexican and more. No buffet. No outside guests. Book a single room or take the whole villa — either way, it’s yours.

Nothing You Don't.
