Siloinak Resort is built on a 30 acres deserted island, with 900 meters of coconut palms fringed beaches and a wonderful lagoon, ideal for swimming among tropical fishes.

Built in an authentic Mentawai spirit and architecture, the Resort offers a unique Mentawai experience of peace and relaxation, sometimes animated by beach BBQ and epic evenings at the bar.

Siloinak Resort is composed of a large 16 seat restaurant, established in the largest "uma" (the Mentawai long house) in the whole Mentawai archipelago and 12 bungalows hosting one or two surfers. Roofs are made of palm leaves and the complex is entirely built with local tropical red wood. The 8 showers and toilets, with hot and cold water, are located outside the bungalows. Siloinak Resort caters to a maximum of 12 surfers.

Great hospitality, excellent food and brilliant service from staff. Lots of small touches that make all the difference. Will be recommending it!

If you have ever dreamt being Robinson Crusöe, you have found the right place!
When clearing the forest to expand our flower and spice garden, in November 2007, we found 3 pythons! These harmless creatures (still at infancy, less than 2 meters long) were released in the nearby Siberut forest, 15 minutes away by speed boat . Nowadays, the lawn has replaced the bushes, but the island keeps all of its wild charm.

Pythons are the only "dangerous animals" that ever roamed Siloinak Island. No spiders, cockroaches, fire ants, poisonous snakes, sand flies, whatsoever. The resort is mosquito free.

It is the only resort in the Mentawai to occupy a fully deserted island. No villages around, only you and the Siloinak staff, a large TV screen, satellite Internet and a projector to watch the days surfing mishaps behind a cold beer with your mates.

Our bungalows are largely interspaced in our flower garden, offering lots of privacy under the shadows of the palms. Each bungalow ( 24 m2) accommodates only one or two surfers, with a large space for the boards under the verandah.

The resort offers the following equipments:

• CD Battery charging equipment with various adaptors
• DVD player, large screen TV, video projector
• Satellite phone
• High speed satellite Internet

• Laundry
• Massage and Reflexology
