Togat Nusa Retreat, Mentawai Islands, Indonesia

...we invite you to make our island your hOMe.
Nestled amongst the palm trees on Pitojat Island, Togat Nusa Retreat truly is a magical place. A private, tropical island sanctuary perfect for those looking to escape, relax and unwind. Our position in the surf rich Mentawai Islands chain has us surrounded by some epic scenery and waves. We are a small retreat, catering for only 6 guests at a time. Quality and service come first as we focus on providing you with the most uniquely relaxing holiday experience available.
The Mentawai Islands are world renowned by surfers for the quality and consistency as a surf zone. Surfeable year round, it is the southern hemisphere winter, from April through to October that sees the peak of the season as storm activity in the Indian Ocean pushes swell after swell up towards the Island chain. Situated on Pitojat Island, off the northern end of Sipora Island, guests to Togat Nusa Retreat have access to a number of quality breaks, all within a short boat ride of the Island.
Three traditionally inspired Bungalows, each uniquely designed and built in the same style as the main building, using recycled timbers and driftwood. Each bungalow is setup to accommodate 2 (unless already organized) people, for a total of 6 guests on the island at any one time. All have private bathrooms with running hot water. The funky interior design incorporates hand built custom furniture and antique lighting and fixtures left over from Dutch fishing vessels. Each bungalow also has fans to help stay cool.
Using local Mentawai builders, under the guidance of John E Ocean, Togat Nusa Retreat maximizes its local surroundings and functions as a partial eco- resort, yet still delivers a very high standard of accommodations and personal space.
Each piece of furniture, from the barstools, to the table you sit down to enjoy your meal at has been individually built in styling's reflected by the building itself. From the roof hangs the skeleton of a pilot whale, whilst the walls are adorned with traditional carvings, Skulls and locally collected treasures, all adding to the vibe of the place. Old Japanese fishing bouys, antique boat lamps and the shells from various marine animals have been fitted with bulbs to supply the lighting, and have set the scene for many a party.
The Bar was the first building on the island and is essentially the hub for all island activity. Situated at the front of the Island, with a panoramic view of the waves reeling off at Scarecrows, this is where guests will gather for meals, to enjoy a drink, partake in a yoga class, or simply to put their feet up, listen to some tunes and watch the surf!
We look forward to inviting yogis and surfers alike to our island oasis.
