THE SURF
Maldives is known for its warm and clear water surf perfection. Every surfer has to see this place, many come every year. If you are the type of person that grew up looking at surf magazines with double page photo spreads of perfect point breaks wrapping around empty tropical islands, then start packing your board bags. You see visitors from around the globe who make the pilgrimage to the Maldives for a week of surfing every year.
The North Male Atoll contains the most popular surf breaks of the Maldives. It probably also offers the most consistent spots especially during the summer months June and July, but actually from early April to late October. All of the spots are facing to the east or south east and are a well-protected from predominant south westerly winds. The breaks of North Male Atoll are perfectly shaped and offer highest wave quality, pick up a lot of swell and have proven to be quite consistent.
Jails (Jailbreaks), the famous perfect right-hander is directly in front of the island Himmafushi. From their villa, it’s only a nice 10min walk across the island to the jail at the point, and after getting over some corals a quick paddle out to Jails.
Of course, even more convenient with their boat trips, just a quick 10min Dhoni ride up to the point, same to Sultans and Honkeys which you can already see from the island across the channel. They operate a traditional Dhoni boat for their daily surf trips to surrounding and northern breaks, which are included in the Surf Package. Their Surf Guide will be arranging 2 (up to 3) trips a day with the guests, and according to swell, wind and tide conditions to ensure a maximum of surf time.
