Relax

Despite all the excitement and activities we provide, there is absolutely no better place in the world to do nothing at all than the Aloita Resort and Spa. If you’re looking to unwind and refuel the jets in a tropical setting, THIS is the place to do it.

We have a variety of ways to help you completely relax and remove any stress carried with you over to the islands. One of the best ways to do this is by a visit to our Spa and Massage facility, the only of its kind in the Mentawais. Here we offer a variety spa and beauty treatments, such as sport specific and relaxation massage, remedial back/neck/shoulder pain therapy, and cleansing beauty treatments. If you’re looking to decompress after a long day of surfing or diving, or just looking to pamper yourself, this is the place to go.

If you feel like catching a game of footy or watching one of your favorite DVDs, our waterside A Bar is about the coolest place in the world to do so. The rotunda shape design catches breezes from all angles, but if you still need to cool off the ocean is literally just steps away from the water. Our bartenders make some great stiff drinks, so this is also the ideal place to catch up with friends or meet new ones.

Some people find it extremely relaxing to cast a line and see what they pull up. While you can certainly make an angry sport out of your fishing excursions, you can just as easily slowly troll with a couple beers and good friends and let nature take its course. You can even take a rod and reel to the end of our peer if you feel like being lazy.

But if you feel like being the laziest of all, you simply need to walk about 20 feet from your bungalow onto our over one mile of private white sand beach. Though we offer so many things to do at Aloita, there’s something very satisfying about sitting on your own private stretch of sand with a book and a cool drink to keep you company.

Testimonials

judith"I felt like I never had to leave the grounds. Most of the time when my husband surfed I just read a book (and fell asleep) on the beach right outside our bungalow. It's such a beautiful little white sand beach, with no one around to disturb you, so I got in my routine of totally relaxing and melting into the sand after meals each day. A couple times I pampered myself at the spa, once with an 'Indonesian' full body massage and another time with the full body scrub. I felt so comfortable and relaxed I almost began to feel guilty. If I felt 'adventurous' I'd put on the snorkeling gear and check out the little clown fish on the reefs right out front, or I'd go for a hike around the beach and trails. Or, I'd just relax with a drink at the bar. Towards the end of the trip, my husband asked me, 'You're not too bored when I go surfing all the time?' And I said, 'Absolutely not!! I've got everything I need and more right here. This is heaven."

Thank you again for an amazing time. We WILL be back again soon.

Take care, Judith Sweedra (Camarillo, CA, USA)
