We had an incredibly wonderful time at the Nasara Resort on Awera, and we can really only say: Everything was just great!

The rooms were super clean, cozy, and comfortable. Having our own water tank in the room was especially convenient. That way, we always had fresh water and could even use it to get hot water for coffee or tea, which were also provided in the room.

The staff was simply fantastic. Everyone was so warm, friendly, and attentive. Every day, you could tell that they really went out of their way to make sure we felt comfortable and had a perfect time.

Our host, Pad, was simply wonderful. He was always in a good mood, super helpful, and went out of his way every day to make sure everything was just right for us. He really did everything he could to make our stay unforgettable!

The food was also an absolute highlight. There was a new menu every day, everything was freshly cooked, and it was truly incredibly delicious every single time. You could tell that a lot of love and effort went into it.

The activities were also superbly organized. Every day, they checked what would work best given the weather and what we felt like doing, so we always had the best experience. That flexibility and the effort behind it aren’t something to be taken for granted!

We were completely happy with our stay and would come back anytime. A huge thank you to Pad and the crew—you made our vacation something truly special!

We can’t wait to come back!!

Awesome place with a stunning view and very nice staff. Activities like Kayak, Paddle Board and snorkel gear is free. Trips to mangroves and surrounding beaches are much cheaper than in the other resorts on the island. We booked Junior Suite and owner gave us an free upgrade to the Executive Master Suite. A very talented and funny chef from Bali is cooking.

A beautiful resort, incredibly friendly staff and a stunning location (the beach is still natural, unlike other resorts that have stripped the beach of all vegetation). I also love that you can rent canoes and snorkeling gear for free. The excursions aren’t overpriced either (unlike other resorts that charge double). Highly recommended, especially for those seeking peace and quiet. Huge pool. The chef cooks fantastically and accommodates individual requests.

Superb excursions are offered on-site! The food is very good, and the hotel team does everything to ensure your stay is as perfect as possible! I loved the staff; they were all truly amazing people! A huge thank you to all of you: Stephen, Naomi, Wahyua, the chef, Harris—in short, to the entire Nasara team!! I will definitely be returning to the Mentawai Islands!!!

The place itself is undeniably special. The island has a powerful natural energy — peaceful during the day, almost magnetic at night. What truly made the experience memorable, though, was the local staff: their genuine smiles, warmth, kindness and authenticity created the real soul of the resort.

At the same time, there was a management style that sometimes felt overly controlling. Although the owner was not physically present, the staff often seemed under constant remote supervision, frequently asked to document activities and routines. This occasionally affected the spontaneity and relaxed atmosphere that such a beautiful place naturally deserves.

What remains with me most strongly is the humanity of the people working there. Their kindness felt sincere even within a very structured environment, and that contrast became part of the experience itself.

Fantastic Resort

Just wanted to say thanks to Steve and the team for their amazing hospitality. The resort is epic, great location for a bunch of waves to suit whatever you are after. The accommodation is fresh and looks like it was recently updated. Staff are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. Food is delicious, fresh and clean and good variety on the menu. Boats to take you for a wave are flexible and we’re always ready when needed. All at a reasonable price for what you get. Around the resort there’s a nice size pool and deck area for the time not surfing. Easy transfers to the ferry port and all ran like clockwork. Special thanks to Steve who accommodated an extraordinary booking change when I got sick and was in hospital for a while unable to make my original booking, went above and beyond to make sure I wasn’t out of pocket and could still come at a later time.

Will be back for sure. Cheers Nasara team catch you soon

Nasara Resort is an great base for a surf trip in the Mentawais. The team were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful, making the whole stay easy and enjoyable.

The rooms are comfortable and well designed — perfect for recovering after long days in the water. The location is a real highlight, with quick access to all the good waves in the area.

The resort itself is beautifully set up and a great place to unwind at the end of the day. A high-quality resort with a relaxed vibe — highly recommended.

The food was delicious, and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. It’s a perfect place to unwind and enjoy quality time. We would definitely love to come back again soon.

Recommended. Friendly service. Delicious food. Clean place. Great view.
Tropical paradise!

The host, Stephan, and the staffs were accommodating and friendly!
I was lucky to get upgraded to a gorgeous room with the Seaview. The place felt boutique and I love how the guest will be seated together during mealtimes which made the experience more warm and personal. (There are also option to dine separately in case you prefer your own space)

The activities were also done as per request. The staff was laidback but attentive. Kayaks, snorkels and paddle board is available for free.

I felt like I’m on a private island and will definitely visit again in again in the future.

The resort is perfectly situated right by a stunning beach, making it an ideal place for a relaxing getaway. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, which made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The pool area is fantastic — spacious, clean, and a great spot to unwind. The food was delicious, with a great variety and high quality.

What truly sets this resort apart, though, are the people working there. From the manager to every member of the team, everyone was exceptionally kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. It’s clear that this resort’s true strength lies in its amazing staff. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable!

I had the pleasure of staying at ‎Nasara resort for the entire month of July 2023.

The resort is absolutely incredible and the experience was amazing from start to finish. The owner (Steve) was always available for questions and responded immediately to any inquiries and was also super helpful with the logistics of airport transfer, local hotel recommendations in Padang, room upgrades, etc.

The location of Nasara is perfect and just a short five minute boat ride from the fast ferry terminal at Tuapajet where a member of the team greeted us promptly upon arrival. The rooms are large, clean, modern and well appointed with stunning views right at the waters edge. Air conditioning and WiFi were a very welcome luxury.

There is world class snorkeling right out front of the resort with every kind of tropical fish imaginable which was a highlight of the trip.
For surfers, there are several quality waves within a 20 minute boat ride , depending on the speed of the boat, (some boats are slower than others… haha)
It is a good idea to learn some basic Indonesian if you want to communicate with the boat drivers.

Cia, the manager and also our cook was always available and very accommodating for dietary requests.

The staff was fantastic and friendly and I was never left wanting for anything.

Nasara is also one of the few resorts in the area that has a pool and the pool and surrounding pool deck is amazing. The grounds are also clean and well landscaped.

During my stay, there was a fair amount of construction underway every day and so exciting to see that more improvements and new additions are coming in the future to make an already first class resort even better!

Can’t wait to come back again soon!!

On behalf of Sergey I’d like to express what a wonderful experience my stay was. The location of the resort is the closest to the waterline out of all the resorts around. Staying in your room makes you feels like you’re on the ships deck. Great homelike atmosphere!

I stayed with the Nasara team back in May and it was a 11/10 experience! If you're looking for a place to stay in the Mentawais, this is it. Cia is amazingly helpful and her food is amazing. Steven the owner is the best and also so accomodating. Pepeng was my boat tour guide and he took me to some amazing spots and was so friendly. The people here are amazing and will help arrange anything you need (surf tours or other excursions/ activities), plus the property is stunningly beautiful and the rooms are so comfortable. I will be back! Thank you guys!
