Beyond the Break: Awera Island Surf Retreat

Tour/Activity , Indonesia

Your Travel Experience with ARRIVAL

Day 1

ARRIVAL

You’ve made it. Lungs fill with humid Sumatran air as you're met at the airport and ferried to the Grand Zuri. There's no rush here – hydrate, snooze, stretch out. Let the jet lag melt while your appetite stirs for what’s coming. Today’s about nothing but landing. No yoga, no rush. Just a soft welcome.

Day 1 - 2

Grand Zuri Padang

A modern city hotel with all the comforts you need after a long-haul. Think crisp sheets, hot showers, and a hearty breakfast before and after island time. A soft landing pad to reset and refuel in Padang.

Day 2 - 9

Awera Resort

The star of the show. Think secluded beachfront villas with plunge pools, hammocks and direct surf access. A space designed for slow mornings, salty skin and barefoot living – anchored in wellness and whisper-close to the waves.

Day 2 - 8

Sunrise & Sunset Yoga

Flow into the day at first light, then wind down as the sun dips behind the palms. Twice-daily yoga sessions on the deck help you ground, breathe and move in sync with island time.

Ocean Dips & Reef Floats

Snorkel straight off the beach into clear, coral-rich waters. Spot reef fish, float over turquoise blues, or simply let the saltwater reset your nervous system.

Stand-Up Paddle Sessions

Grab a SUP and glide across glassy water just steps from your villa. Paddle solo or together – no bookings, no fuss, just ocean and freedom.

Day 2 - 9

Private Villa Downtime

Unplug (or don’t) in your own villa oasis. Morning coffee on the deck, poolside pages, or siestas with nothing but birdsong and breeze.

Day 2 - 8

Beach Walks & Salt Air Wanders

Follow the curve of your private shoreline. Shells, warm sand, maybe a barefoot run – or just wander with no map and no need for one.

Optional Add-Ons

Level up your stay with spa treatments, guided SUP tours, clear kayak adventures, waterfall treks, surf lessons, snorkel trips, or private beach picnics. All gear is complimentary. Choose your moments. The island’s got range.

Day 9 - 10

Grand Zuri Padang

A modern city hotel with all the comforts you need after a long-haul. Think crisp sheets, hot showers, and a hearty breakfast before and after island time. A soft landing pad to reset and refuel in Padang.

Day 10

Departure

Bag packed. Sand still in the creases. Airport transfer is arranged. You’re flying out, but this island doesn’t leave easily. Your phone is full. Your pulse is slower. And maybe, just maybe, you’re already planning your return.
