From the Page to the Passage

Over the past few months, Kudanil has been featured in some of the world’s most respected travel and surf publications.

Travel + Leisure turned its focus toward Indonesia’s Spice Islands, exploring Banda’s layered history, volcanic silhouettes, and the sense of remoteness that still defines the region. For us, Banda carries scale and significance. Beneath the yacht lies one of the deepest seas in the world. On shore stands Rhun Island, once traded for Manhattan in a 17th century exchange that reshaped global trade. Colonial forts remain, and the story of nutmeg still lingers in harbours that once determined the fate of empires. Seeing this remarkable corner of Indonesia brought back into the global conversation feels quietly significant.

At the same time, SURFER Magazine, long regarded as the authority within surf culture, featured the Mahalo Surf Experience and what it described as the zenith of surf travel. Thoughtful access. Considered pacing. The privilege of arriving by sea. It reflects the kind of surf exploration we believe in.

Looking ahead, Kudanil will operate for the first time a dedicated Mentawai season in 2027 as part of our annual calendar with a refined, fully optimized program designed specifically for this region.

This is luxury surf exploration at its most considered. With Kudanil as your private base, every detail is managed, from swell tracking and strategic positioning to jet ski support in the lineup. Our crew adjusts anchorage and timing to maximise conditions, often placing you in empty lineups away from the predictable routes. The objective is simple: optimal waves, minimal crowd, complete support.

A 15% early confirmation advantage applies to bookings secured by the end of April 2026. Prime swell windows are limited and historically secured well in advance.
