Exploring the Private Waves of the Maldives

Escape the crowds and discover the private waves of the Maldives. A paradise for surfers seeking uncrowded quality breaks and stunning beauty.

Renowned for its unspoiled beaches, epic waves, and luxury resorts. The Maldives stands as a world-renowned tropical paradise nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean. What really sets the Maldives apart from other tropical destinations are its private waves. No where else in the worlds are there as many options for private surfing!

A Surfer’s Paradise with Private Waves

The Maldives conceals a hidden gem beneath its serene surface: a true paradise for surfers. With its archipelago of 26 atolls, consisting of countless islands and reefs, the Maldives Surf Resorts offer unparalleled surf service for a haven of perfect waves suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced surfers alike. What distinguishes the Maldives from other popular surf destinations is the opportunity to relish these waves in an intimate and exclusive setting, far away from the hustle and bustle of crowded surf spots.

Uncrowded Waves

One of the most remarkable aspects of the private waves in the Maldives is the blissful lack of crowds. In an era where popular surf spots are increasingly crowded, surfers are seeking uncrowded waves to escape the masses. Imagine the perfect holiday scenario: embarking on a journey with your beloved one, your family, or even venturing solo, and discovering a private wave right at the doorstep of your resort. It’s an unparalleled experience that allows you to savour the pure joy of surfing without the hassle of battling for waves or feeling overwhelmed by crowds.

Unlike other popular surf destinations around the world, where hordes of surfers vie for the same set of waves, the private waves offer a serene and uncrowded experience. With limited access reserved exclusively for guests of select resorts, you can enjoy surfing without the hassle of jostling for position or feeling rushed. The beauty of a private wave is more waves, better wave selection, and getting more time surfing on your trip!

Intimacy & Exclusivity

As the name suggests, private waves are for private use by the guests staying on the island on which they break. The Maldives is known for its luxurious resorts, some have taken the concept of exclusivity a step further by offering private surf breaks accessible only to their guests. The resorts include Niyama Private Island (Vodi), Hudhuranfushi (Lohis), Cinnamon Dhonveli (Pasta Point ), and Holiday Inn Kandooma (Kandooma Right ). These resorts, located on their private islands, provide unparalleled privacy, access to waves, and the chance to experience surfing quiet waves in stunning surroundings.

Luxury & Private Waves

Of all the Maldives Surf Resorts, Niyama Private Islands, located in the pristine and quiet Central Atolls of the Maldives, is the only resort that combines an ultimate luxury experience with a private wave, Vodi. Exclusively available to guests, this onsite left-hander provides an exceptional and uncrowded surfing opportunity.

Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi, an All-Inclusive resort located in the North Male Atoll boasts very limited private access to 45 surfers maximum per day to one of the highest quality waves in the Maldives, Lohis, aka Lohifushi.! This ultra-consistent left-hander reef break is located on the reef fringing the resort and can deliver long walls, perfect to practice your turns and manoeuvres, or challenging endless barrels for the ones who are seeking a different feeling. Breaking in almost all swells, Lohiโ€™s offers something for everyone.

Known as the original private wave in the Maldives, Pasta Point, the onsite wave of Cinnamon Dhonveli, located in the North Male Atoll, is by far one of the most sought-after waves in the country, where only 33 lucky surfers a day can experience this gem. This classy left-hander reels along the reef at the perfect speed to do turns as well as tube sections that extend as the swell gets bigger!

A Paradise for Surfers and their Loved Ones

Imagine waking up to the gentle lapping of waves against the shore, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and then walking from your room to reach your exclusive surf break. While you immerse yourself in the thrill of surfing the private waves of the Maldives, your loved ones can indulge in a world of luxury and relaxation at the resort.

With a range of activities and amenities tailored to suit every interest, they can bask in the beauty of pristine beaches, take a refreshing dip in gentle lagoons, or enjoy rejuvenating spa treatments. From thrilling water sports to tranquil poolside lounging, there are endless opportunities for your family members or friends to create cherished memories and make the most of the resort’s exceptional offerings. While you chase the waves, they can revel in their own paradise, ensuring that everyone experiences a fulfilling and unforgettable vacation.

So, if you wish to escape the crowd and hassle of your local spot and relax your mind and soul while surfing, the Maldives’ private waves offer an exclusive and unparalleled surfing experience, combining the thrill of riding world-class waves with the serenity and beauty of this tropical paradise.

Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, world-class surf breaks, and luxurious accommodations, wave riders can escape to a secluded haven where the only soundtrack is the crashing of waves against the coral reefs. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer searching for the perfect barrel or a beginner looking to catch your first wave, the private waves of the Maldives await, promising an unforgettable adventure in one of the world’s most idyllic settings.

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
