Casitas

Sanctuary of modern comfort and barefoot luxury, the Casitas are nestled in tropical gardens with astounding views, giving guests privacy and intimacy at all times of the day and night.

From your personal casita, immerse yourself in the jungled wilderness
and gaze at the turquoise waves.


Each breezy outpost, from Casita Grande to the bohemian tented casitas, is designed to fully connect you with your natural surroundings! They are enveloped in lush vegetation, with sensational ocean views, broad terraces and thatched or canvas cabanas, and relaxed, barefoot-chic interiors to hide away in tropical seclusion at its best.

The unique cathedral-like Terraza is the perfect setting for guests to enjoy locally sourced dishes prepared with Panamanian flare. You’ll delight in freshly made, mouth-watering dishes using the finest local ingredients!

Menus change daily using the freshest ingredients, the catch-of-the-day and just-picked produce. Sunset barbecues, beach picnics and room service in the Casitas can also be arranged upon request.

The beachside lounge overlooks the bay and it’s the perfect meeting point for cocktails before dinner!

Adjacent to the Terraza is Balboa Bar. With handcrafted panel interiors and displays of historic maps and local artwork, it’s a perfect place to relax with a book, enjoy an aperitif or post-dinner nightcap.

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 Maldives’ 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.
