Sixteen suites on a private island — for surfers chasing swell, and everyone who came with them. Two decades in the Telos, built around one idea: nobody should have to choose between an epic surf trip and a great family holiday.
In a word, choice.
Whatever tropical surf experience you desire — a mates' trip, family vacation, romantic getaway or a solo mission — Tanah Mympi is here to deliver you a truly best-in-class experience.
And here's the thing. You can tailor the perfect combination of experiences any way you want. No longer does anyone have to choose between an epic surf trip and a great family holiday.
Maximum 32 guests. Only 16 suites. One extraordinary private island, with the boats, food, service and surf to match.
However you travel, this is built for you.
Surf when it's good. Be back with the people you came with when you're done.
Combined with our central location in the Telo archipelago, and our intimate knowledge of the area, our unrivalled magic carpet fleet of speedboats enables us to offer multiple outings per day, rather than an arduous full day out, allowing you to enjoy the Island of Dreams exactly as you wish!
"You can head out for an early-morning session, be back at Tanah Mympi for a gourmet lunch, hang with your significant other by the pool, take the kids snorkelling or fishing — and scoot back out again for the late afternoon glass off session, before sunset drinks and a dinner party."
This offers a completely different style of surf holiday to the arduous, full-day missions found elsewhere.
Two waves within paddling distance of the island.
A right-hander for intermediate–advanced surfers, and a left offering plenty of fun from lower-intermediate through advanced. Grab a board and paddle out — no boat required.
Waves for all, all year round.
It's well documented, but worth repeating: the Telos offers the most all-inclusive wave menu of any surf zone on the planet. From user-friendly, entry-level rollers to the ultimate high-speed, high-performance perfection that elite level pro surfers live for, this lush wave garden is in season year-round!
Peak Season
Consistent swell and regular, serious, no-word-of-a-lie, world-class surf.
Shoulder Season
Mellower swell energy with a decent smattering of bigger days. The perfect mix!
The Secret Season
Fun, uncrowded waves, often with few or no other surfers. Imagine that!
No matter your skill level, experience, or your surfcraft of choice, we pride ourselves on giving you memories of waves you will treasure for the rest of your days. We may be a world-class, deluxe resort, but surfing is embedded deep in our DNA, so the excellence we provide in all areas of hospitality extends to getting you the waves of your life.
A small sample of some of the breaks we enjoy. An average 10-day trip will see guests surf up to a dozen different spots.
"Our trip to Tanah Mympi was just incredible! We surfed somewhere new every day. Just a whole bunch of incredible waves. They've been so different, which makes it exciting every time you jump in the boat to go check out a potential new wave. There's lefts, rights, peaks, literally something for everyone!"Sheldon Simkus, Pro Surfer
A special experience for non-surfers, partners and kids.
Here's a few things you might like to know from the get-go: our renowned chef, Fernando, is no stranger to a Michelin-starred kitchen; our dinner parties are already legendary; our pool, pavilion, and shaded swim-up bar is a place you could easily spend an entire day relaxing in; and a Tanah Mympi massage is a massage like no other. But there's more: our bar staff are amazing cocktail artists, the interior of our island is a cool, lush and safe wonderland of foliage and birdsong, and our drift-dive snorkel experience will leave you amazed. In short, we provide a tropical vacation that non-surfing partners, kids and families will absolutely love!

With eight Ocean View suites and eight Jungle View suites, we can accommodate up to 32 guests (suitable for once-in-a-lifetime gatherings), but more commonly we'll host smaller, more intimate groups — mates' surf trips, family vacations, couples' getaways. With our amazing hosts and guides, hand-picked hospitality staff, and the best food and beverage team in the region, we guarantee Tanah Mympi really is your Island of Dreams.
