Mentawai Surf Residences

Located in the world-famous Mentawai Islands — home to some of the most consistent and coveted surf breaks on the planet — this resort concept is designed as a low-impact coastal retreat where nature, wellness and wave-driven adventure coexist.

the concept

Ki Communities is a luxury surf retreat set within the world-renowned Mentawai Islands — a destination where uncompromising comfort meets the planet’s most sought-after waves. 


BLUECHIP leads the project through a full end-to-end scope: masterplanning, architectural concept, procurement strategy and remote-site project management. Designed to attract discerning travellers and surf-lifestyle leaders, Ki Communities offers exclusive oceanfront living with sustainability embedded at every scale. Ki Communities is built for a new generation of ocean-first luxury travellers — global nomads and high-profile surf culture from LA to Mentawai — who prioritise experience, freedom, and wellbeing over traditional resort formality. 


Ki signifies vital life force — the energy flowing through waves, climate, people and culture. This energy forms the core narrative: 

  • Ki as nature — uninterrupted ocean frontage and private reef access 

  • Ki as wellbeing — restorative living elevated by immaculate design

  • Ki as community — exclusivity through shared authenticity 

The resort is envisioned as a luxury lifestyle village, where the ocean’s power shapes each day and privacy is paired with meaningful social connection. 


“A destination for those who pursue perfect waves — and perfect days.”

Design Approach and Ethos

Nestled on the rugged coastline of the Mentawai Islands, this surf-resort and residences concept seamlessly fuses raw natural beauty with refined architectural purpose. 


Our approach begins with the ocean’s rhythm and reef-topography: structures are sited to frame surf breaks, capture breezes and preserve indigenous vegetation. 


Modular villa clusters cascade toward the shore, harmonising with the terrain while offering waterfront hierarchy and private retreat. Materials draw from local timber, insitu concrete and weathered metal, reflecting the surf culture’s realism and elemental exposure. 


Indoor-outdoor living is emphasised—deep overhangs, shaded patios and expansive glazing open onto surf decks that allow access to the beach. 


Sustainability is embedded throughout: passive ventilation, minimal site disturbance and community-scale social spaces ensure the resort is both respectful of place and designed to enhance the experience of waves, land and life.
