Solwata Surf Camp
the Camp
The Solwata Surf Camp is located in the spectacular Lau Lagoon amidst unique and ancient man made islands and stilted villages, fringed by a massive reef system on one side and spectacular mountains on the other. You will be staying amongst a living cultural and environmental treasure. Its also an incredible surfing playground with more than a dozen world class reef set ups.
The Surf Camp itself is a traditional style building on stilts above aqua blue water. There are spectacular views of the nearby breaks, lagoon and village life and rain forest clad mountains. Within the camp the focus is on simple tropical comfort with chill out lounges and hammocks, quality bedding and linen, a bar with cold drinks.
The Solwata camp caters for an exclusive six guests only. There is an on site Australian surf and cultural guide, and an experienced cook fusing local ingredients to western tastes and doing the best traditional cooking possible, a local support crew from the village helps to look after your needs and ensure you feel like part of the tribe.
You have exclusive and unlimited use of our fast and covered surf boat for surfing and exploring this unique area.
From the base of the Solwata Camp we have the option of venturing to two other village based stays for a few days. Each with a range of waves on offer catering to different winds, swells and levels of surfing.
We make sure you get the best waves on offer in the Solomons for that period.
