Sip on a morning coffee on your private ocean balcony and savor on the finest tropical delicacies fresh from the sea on the breezy dining area. Let your soul adrift on the vast ocean.
THE WAVES
All the waves in the Maldives break on coral reefs. There are several high quality breaks and cruising is the ultimate way to conquer those empty surf breaks.
This surf experience gives surfers a true outer atoll experience with access to 3 different atolls and more than 20 distinct surf breaks.
These waves in the Maldives are usually small from chest high the typical Maldivian wave rolls up like most point breaks with workable corners, fun pocket, barrels and long rides. But on good occasions the waves go well overhead and the swells will hit with some power.
The variety of waves is huge – abundant and perfect as you dream about it!
