WELCOME TO YOUR MENTAWAI ISLAND PARADISE
Awera Island Villas is a remote, self-sufficient island base rather than a resort or serviced stay. You take the entire property — both villas and surrounding space — and live on your own schedule.
Available conveniences are on hand just across the channel, making it easy to restock and stay comfortable during your stay.
The experience suits those who value freedom, simplicity, and being slightly removed from the usual expectations of a typical holiday stay.
