The Bunk
Room

Same waves, smarter setup. Solo bunk in a shared 4-bed house with private bathroom, maximum flexibility, and the best per-night value at camp.

Same waves.
Smarter price.

The Bunk Room is the only way to experience Mentawai Surf Camp as a solo traveller without paying for a whole private room. You get a single assigned bed in a 4-bed bunkhouse with your own private bathroom, daily housekeeping, and all the same camp benefits as every other guest.

4 beds per month, max. The camp feels intimate, not crowded. Everyone surfs together or splits by ability. This is how solo surfers do Mentawai properly.

Same waves & boats

You surf the exact same breaks, ride the same 6 boats, and eat the same meals as private room guests. The only difference is the room.

Save vs Private Sanctuary

The Bunk Room costs significantly less than our private rooms. Same camp, same boats, same food — different bed configuration.

4 beds per month

Maximum 4 bunk beds per month. Not a crowded hostel — an intimate surf camp where you know everyone by day two.

01

Your bed

Single bunk bed, assigned to you for your entire stay. Fresh linens, daily housekeeping, reading light, power outlet, and shelf. Not shared — not rotated.

02

The guarantee

Maximum 4 bunk beds per month. 6 boats for up to 8 guests. No matter what, you always have a boat and a guide. Zero chance of being left behind.

03

The roommates

3 other solo surfers from around the world. Pre-arrival introductions via WhatsApp. Shared bathroom, not shared sleeping space. Roommate matching available.

“I came alone. I left with 3 new best friends and 200 photos of the best waves of my life. The bunk room is how solo surfers find their crew.”

Recommended

Full Flex

Block a full calendar month. We monitor the forecast 21 days out. When the swell looks right, shift your dates — up to 10 days in either direction. Daily WhatsApp briefings, coordination with other rooms. This is how you surf Mentawai properly.

Best for: Surfers who want to chase the best swell

Fixed Dates

Lock your dates at booking and plan your trip with certainty. No shifting, no changes — your dates are set. Simpler logistics, especially if you’re travelling with others who have inflexible schedules.

Best for: Surfers with set travel dates

We’ll explain both options in detail and help you choose what’s right for your trip.


Will I have to share a bed? +
No. Your bunk is assigned to you and only you for your entire stay. Fresh linens, daily housekeeping. It’s yours.
What if I don’t get along with my roommates? +
We do pre-arrival introductions via WhatsApp so you know who you’re sharing with. If there’s a genuine issue, we’ll move you to a different bed within the bunkhouse. In 4 years, we’ve never had a roommate complaint.
Is the bathroom shared? +
The bathroom is shared among the 4 bunk guests, but it’s private to the bunkhouse — no one from the private rooms uses it. Hot shower, cleaned daily.
Can I upgrade to a private room? +
Subject to availability, yes. If a private room opens up during your stay, you can upgrade and pay the difference. Many solo travellers start in the Bunk Room and upgrade if space opens.
Will I be surfing alone? +
No. You’ll be surfing with 7 other guests maximum, split into groups by ability. Most solo travellers end up surfing with the same people daily and form close bonds.
Is there an age limit? +
Generally 18–55 for the Bunk Room. If you’re outside this range, contact us — we’ve made exceptions for fit 60-year-olds and mature younger surfers.
