Explore the Remote Southern Atolls

If youโ€™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 Malรฉ, 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!

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.
