12 nights at Aura - everything was perfect
We had quality waves everyday. Great peak straight out the front of your villa and plenty of other reef breaks, beachies and points a short trip from the resort. The food was excellent. The villas were way beyond expectations and the rest of the resort and pool was really well done. Jimmy made sure we were surfing the right spot for the conditions everyday, the photographer Charlie is an absolute pro and the rest of the team were super friendly and helpful. The resort was great for helping organize our surfboards, transport and flights from Medan. Villas spotlessly cleaned each day. WIFI was good. Absolutely everything was just right. Big thanks to the team there for making it an awesome trip. If your looking for your next trip this is it.
This has already been the best surf trip of my life I reckon!
Scored some amazing waves and been on some wicked missions. The food and hospitality is out of this world and the crew here are the biggest legends and super knowledgeable. I have scored some barrels and really enjoying myself. I will definitely be back here next year 100%
Great location right on the beach
overlooking a play full a frame. Just a short walking distance to the right or to the left you will find beach breaks which can get really good at the right time. Two thumbs up for food and guiding! I will be back!
Probably one of the best surf resorts that I've been to
Clean, great food great service and the resort takes you to the best surf on the day.
I’ll be going back pretty soon.
Surfing Highlights
The Peak
The Peak is a fun perfect left and right which has both hollow barrel sections and nice walls. An easy paddle out from the beach and a flat reef makes it fun for all.
Dylan’s Right
Dylan’s Right is a hollow fast prefect right barrel which breaks over shallow reef on the inside of a large south west facing bay. Breaks best in larger swells, but produces consistent fun, fast waves.
T-Bags
This wave will have you frothing pretty quickly. The access to this mesmerizing right hander is pretty easy but requires a boat.
Thailands
On its day it’s a super fun wave that offers long fun walls and even some tube sections
