Explore the Remote Banyak Islands!

Jump onboard The Dream and explore the remote Banyak Islands. The Banyak Islands are a stunning island chain with uncrowded, high-quality surf, beautiful beaches, and stunning reefs.

The Dream offers comfortable accommodation for up to 12 persons onboard. All bedrooms and the lounge area are air-conditioned for your comfort.  This is the perfect charter for groups or solo travelers looking to escape the crowds and score pristine surf!

The Boat

The Dream is a 26m Indonesian-built boat with 5 twin rooms suites and 1 larger cabin with a double bed. The charter offers air conditioning for all indoor spaces, keeping you cool and comfortable. The charter is capable of accommodating up to 12 guests and accepts solo travelers!

The Dream is capable of cruising up to 10 knots, keeping cruising times down between spots. The large indoor space is well designed and can fit all guests whilst eating. Up on the deck are multiple spots to relax with loads of storage for boards and equipment. Equipped with a small 30 HP dhingy to get you to the surf, The Dream is perfect for group trips and solo travelers!

The Surf

With more surfers traveling to the Mentawais, charters started pushing further North in search of quieter surf. This led to the discovery of the Banyak Islands, located approximately 50km from the Sumatran Mainland.

The waves in the region offer everything from powerful, heavy barrels to more friendly, playful waves! Having a good guide in the region is essential for navigating different combinations of swell and wind for each spot! The undoubted jewel in the Banyak Islands’ crown is Treasure Island, a long righthander offering multiple barrel sections! The Dream offers excellent guidance and they will help you score!

We booked a trip to Niyama Maldives (13 - 20 May 2022) with Awave.

Before deciding to go to Niyama I had close contact with Giulia about what would be the best resort for that season. Giulia responded almost immediately and gave us good and detailled advice about the surf and of course also about the resort.

We had a great trip! The resort was just prefect as well as the service! Unfortunately the waves were a bit choppy and the wind cross/ onshore, but that's mother nature....... (and May is a very difficult month for the Maldives). We still surfed every day in fun size waves and had a great time.

Would definitely recommend Niyama as well as booking with Awave!

Great communication, fantastic care and attention from James who is very knowledgeable and approachable, and the product recommended to us as an alternative, Ayada, was a real paradise. We had very high expectations and we were really impressed with everything (apart from the the quality of the surfboards for hire). :)
