Explore the Remote Southern Atolls

If you’re looking for exclusive luxury, unrivaled service and some of the best waves the Maldives has to offer then Ayada is the perfect resort for you. Ayada is the only resort with access to the amazing waves in Huvadhoo Atoll in the far Southern Atolls. With 7 high-quality waves within a 30-minute speedboat ride from the resort and the help of the superb onsite surf team, you will always be able to find a wave that suits your level and the conditions.

The Resort

Located a 45-minute flight away from the capital Malé, the resort sits on a pristine tropical island. The island itself is larger than most resort islands, giving a real feeling of space and seclusion to each villa, allowing you and your partner/family to really relax after a long day of tropical surfing.

With a full range of luxury resort facilities, multiple pools, and secluded lagoons, Ayada is a true tropical paradise. Long white sandy beaches with beautiful coral reefs fringing the island, just waiting for you to explore!

Waves at AYADA Maldives

Being in an area more exposed to swell means that it is rare to be flat and with so many wave options, there are spots in almost all winds. This makes the region very consistent.
With 6 high-quality waves within a short boat ride from the resort (Tiger Stripes – fun, consistent left, Love Charms – a mechanical lefthander, 2-ways – beginner-friendly a frame peak, 5 Islands – classy righthander, Antiques – beginner-friendly right and Blue Bowls – ultra-consistent right-hander), you’ll be spoilt for choice. For the more advanced surfer, there is a real gem hidden about a 45-minute boat ride away!

The peak surf months are March – May and September – November but we have found amazing waves year round!

Why We Love AYADA Maldives

Some of the best and most remote waves in the Maldives. Works in almost all conditions!

Unparalleled service! The team at AYADA Maldives goes above and beyond at all times.

AYAYA Maldives sits in the least crowded area of the Maldives! These are the quietest waves there are in the country!

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
