Awera Resort
Awera Resort
the first & only scuba diving destination in the Mentawais
Cruising Indonesia is proud to present the Awera Resort experience, a truly exceptional combination of diving, surfing, refined luxury, and a deep connection with nature in the paradisiacal Mentawai Islands. While Mentawai is world-renowned for its legendary waves, its underwater world remains a hidden gem, positioning Awera Resort as an emerging destination for diving enthusiasts seeking unfrequented dive sites, a rare experience hard to find elsewhere.
WHY AWERA RESORT
Awera is a secluded resort and the first to offer world-class scuba diving and SSI certification in the Mentawai Islands. In fact, with Awera Resort’s new entry, we are opening up uncharted, pristine reefs exclusively for our valued customers and friends. And the most important, a truly unforgettable experience that is difficult to find elsewhere.
Exceptional location
Our resort is at the center of four distinct islands: Awera, Silabok, Siburu, and Sipora, where the submarine environment features expansive coral reef systems, everything from sheltered inshore reefs to exposed ocean sites.
Offbeat environment
A dynamic and stimulating subaqueous environment that we will tailor for you day-to-day, as conditions naturally vary, so our expert team of DM will select the dive sites daily based on weather, tide, swell, and group ability.
Marine life
Because these waters are untouched by commercial diving, marine life is incredibly abundant. Sightings include manta rays, sea turtles, Napoleon wrasse, schools of Barracuda, schooling of reef fish, and vibrant macro life.
ACTIVITIES
Awera Resort & Spa is a boutique, eco-conscious sanctuary designed in harmony with its surrounding environment. It is a place to slow down, disconnect from the outside world, and reconnect with nature and oneself. With thoughtfully designed private villas, wholesome cuisine, daily wellness activities, and direct access to crystal-clear waters for daily physical activities, Awera offers a rare balance of adventure, comfort, and serenity.
Scuba Diving
What makes Awera even more special is that most of the dive sites are still unfrequented and untouched, offering a rare hidden gem for guests looking for something authentic, private, and beyond the mainstream diving destinations in Indonesia. Currently, we have 32 mapped dive sites classified by experience level and promising prospects.
Snorkeling
The surrounding waters of Awera are rich in marine biodiversity, vibrant coral reefs, and crystal-clear visibility āideal for diving and snorkeling in a serene, uncrowded setting. These pristine reefs, rich marine life, crystal-clear visibility, and remote island atmosphere create a truly unforgettable experience that is difficult to find elsewhere.
Surfing
Thereās little to say about the world-class surfing in the Mentawais that you havenāt already heard, because this is unarguably the premier surfing destination on the planet. Famed for its pristine, mechanical waves and world-class reef breaks. A covet destination for experienced and intermediate surfers, as well as the best starting point for beginners.
