One thing that truly separates Aloita from all other land options in the Mentawais is the diversity of activities we can provide. The resort is far more than just a place for surfers and divers, or people looking for the ultimate way to unwind in a beautiful tropical location. We offer a variety of different ways to explore this beautiful little corner of the world.

The keen fishos will have plenty to keep them occupied with the abundance of sea life in the area. Situated near arguably the most abundant fishing zone of the Mentawais, our fisherman have the opportunity to reel in many of the most impressive pelagics including Spanish Mackerel, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Giant Trevally, and even the odd game fish such as Sailfish and Marlin. But if popping or bottom bouncing is more to your liking, we’ve got you covered there as well.

For those looking for a true Indonesian experience, we offer extensive cultural trekking tours to visit the indigenous tribes of nearby Siberut Island. The jungles on this island are home to a unique race of people that have been studied by anthropologist for decades for their enduring traditional culture which has essentially remained unchanged for hundreds of years. This is not an easy excursion, but an extremely educational and worthwhile one. You’ll live amongst the locals, speak their authentic jungle dialect, and witness some of their most sacred traditional rites. If you’re lucky, you may even be given a tattoo if you chose, the “old fashioned” way.

But if this is a bit too intense of an excursion for you, there’s plenty to see right in our own backyard. You can visit the locals at the nearby capital of the Mentawais, Tua Pajet, or you can go exploring the many nooks and crannies of our over 1 mile stretch of private white sand beach as well as our own dense jungle trails.

There truly is something for everyone at Aloita. Check the following pages for more details on how to get the most out of explorations during your stay with us.
