What you love
Well done Bruno and The Perfect Wave!
Kandui Villas is beautiful, with an amazing pool, great accommodation, friendly staff and sensational food. Not to mention we scored pumping waves for 6 of the 8 days there. Everything worked like clockwork, from check in, to being met at the airport to room bookings. Highly recommend The Perfect Wave and will definitely use them again.
Kandui
I approached Perfect Wave at less than a weeks notice looking for a trip to the Mentawais. They found the perfect holiday for me, with the best waves I have ever experienced in a fantastic resort all based on their own experience of the region. Thank you
Surfing Highlights
Kandui (aka No-Kandui)
Regarded by many tube-hounds as probably the best left in the world. Wrapping off the reef of Karangmajat island Kandui is astoundingly fast and hollow. Take off, pull in, pump, drive – just charge through multiple sections. Clean exits are the challenge, hence the alternative name of No Kanduis! Many surfers have and will dedicate themselves to this wave and the barrel of a lifetime, its that good. This is a long, heavy and intense wave, not for the inexperienced or faint hearted. Best on SW swells in the double overhead range.
Bank Vaults
A heavy righthander that barrels and spits. Usually larger than most spots in the area. Watch out for clean-up sets. Great location for the photographer though to capture that barrel of your life photo.
Rifles
One of the best waves in the Mentawais and the world. A very long righthander that wraps around the other side of the same island as No Kanduis. Rarely makeable from start to finish, but even just from section to section you can get barrels up to 100 yards or longer. Nice and hollow once it’s a few feet overhead, but usually more sectiony at smaller sizes.
Hideaways
4 Bobs
This is a small peak for when there is heaps of swell, or guys looking for a mellower option. Mainly a right with a short barrel off the takeoff, but quickly dies off into the channel. There’s an even shorter left, but usually not worth the effort. Low intermediates and Kids love this wave.

Relive the feeling of riding the perfect wave by viewing the photos and videos (thanks to the Kandui Villas photo & video service). There are plenty of other activities to do such as beach volleyball, billiards, ping pong, horse shoes and snorkelling. Kandui Villas has speedboats, an infinity pool, kayaks, SUPs, a yoga uma and spa, where you can enjoy some tranquil downtime.
Giving Back
Kandui Villas, in partnership with Waves For Water, has also implemented multiple clean water projects in the surrounding northern Mentawai Islands, specifically Siberut Island, with numerous villages in need. These clean water projects are yet another service to continue Kandui Villas’ efforts supporting the local Mentawai people, and to directly give back to the local villagers in improving their quality of life through this opportunity to provide them access to clean drinking water.
To get to the Kandui Villas, you need to get a flight to Padang (PDG) in West Sumatra. You will need to travel through either Jakarta, Indonesia with Garuda Indonesia or Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with AirAsia.
In Padang you will take an early morning fast ferry over to the capital of the Mentawai, Tua Pajet. The trip will take approx. 3.5 hrs and is on a very comfortable and sturdy boat that the time will pass quickly.
From Tua Pajet, you will be meet by your Kandui Villas representative and take a boat ride to your own private villa in paradise.
Kandui Villas has something to offer everyone with a long list of world-class amenities. The amenities include:
• An infinity pool
• Games room
• Organic greenhouse

How far is the nearest local township / shops?
Tua Pejat, just a short 60-minute boat ride away, is where you have access to many shops and services, including grocery stores, pharmacy, bank / ATM, phone credit & local crafts.
When are meals served?
In short, whenever they are wanted as you have a private in house chef, preparing three meals a day with local fresh produce and local culinary skills. You will never go hungry and all dietary needs are meet.
Are there waves for beginners, smaller kids and low intermediate surfers?
Great news is they have so many little reef setups for all levels of surfer. Although reef breaks aren’t ideal learner setups, there are some fun little beach breaks closeby as well and with soft top boards and SUPs available, they are very happy to share the surf stoke with anyone keen to learn.
Are there any mosquitos?
Yes, as with anywhere in the tropics; but the good news is due to the Villa being on the protected side of the island and no mangroves or still water, there really isn’t a problem with mosquitos or sand flies. However, we do recommend that you bring repellent and cover up and dusk and dawn to ensure you are totally protected. There have been no cases of malaria in this part of the Mentawai for many years now.
Can I get a massage?
Kandui Villas have own spa building with a massage therapist.
