Nestled in the heart of the Mentawai Islands, Akar Mentawai is a place where comfort meets nature. Wake up to the sounds of the jungle, spend your days by the ocean, and embrace the simple beauty of island living.
Akar Mentawai is only a 10-minute drive from the harbour of Tua Pejat, the main harbour of the Mentawai Islands, and a 30-minute drive from the airport of Rokot, the only airport in the archipelago.
We are happy to help organize pick-up and transport from Tua Pejat harbour and Rokot airport.
To get to the Mentawai Islands, you first need to travel to Padang (Sumatra) and then take a ferry to Tua Pejat (Sipora Island).
Currently, the easiest way to get to Padang is by flying from Jakarta or Kuala Lumpur, and recently also Singapore.
The Mentawai Fast ferry connect Padang to the Mentawai 4 times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, and usually takes 3.5 hours to reach Tua Pejat. Akar Mentawai is only a 10-minute drive from the harbour.
While you can book the ferry directly at www.mentawaifast.com , we are happy to help organize pick-up and transport from Tua Pejat.
Due to the ferry schedule, an overnight stay in Padang is required both when arriving to and departing from the Mentawai Islands.
