Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort (Maldives – North Male Atoll)

Formerly known as Lohifushi, the all-inclusive Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort is the ultimate tropical escape for surfers and non-surfers alike, and is known as the best value-for-money surf resort in the Maldives. With world-class waves on your doorstep, pristine beaches, balmy sunsets and premium facilities, it’s the surf trip that everyone will want to be on.

Located in the North Malé Atoll, Hudhuranfushi is a short 30-minute speedboat ride from the Malé airport. The island is known to be one of the most naturally beautiful locations in the Maldives, the perfect combination of lush palm-fringed surrounds, white sandy beaches and turquoise lagoons teeming with vibrant marine life and coral reef. Whether you’re a family, couple, group of friends or a solo surfer, everyone is catered for.

For surfers, the world-renowned left hander, Lohis Left, is a short walk from your villa, with capped surf numbers ensuring crowds stay at a minimum. It’s the dream setup for enjoying a premium resort experience while taking advantage of exclusive access to one of the best and most consistent waves in the Maldives.

Keen to check out other waves in the area? Surf transfers operate twice daily from the resort via traditional Maldivian dhonis. Guided by a team of dedicated surf guides, explore waves like Sultans, Ninjas and Jailbreaks, the furthest wave being just 20-minutes away.

This region has something for everyone, with a variety of reef breaks ranging in intensity from mellow, shreddable walls to heavy, hollow barrels. Some of the most famous North Malé Atolls’ surf breaks include Lohis, Jailbreaks, Honkeys, Sultans, Ninjas, Cokes (Colas) and Chickens.

The surf season in the North Malé Atolls is similar to Indonesia, with the best waves on offer from March through to October. If you’re chasing bigger waves, you’re likely to see more swell throughout June, July and August. The surf generally ranges in size from 2ft to 8ft, with some bigger swells popping up throughout the year. Winds are normally from the west (off-shore), with swell direction mainly from the south/south-east.

The ever-consistent Lohis Left is only a short walk from your villa at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort, with another six quality waves nearby, all within a 20-minute dhoni ride away. These waves are accessible via the resort’s surf transfer service, operating twice daily.

Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort is a dream destination for both surfers and non-surfers alike. The resort offers a wide range of all-inclusive activities and experiences suitable for the whole family, as well as excursions surrounding the resort available at an additional cost.

From treatments at the spa, to snorkelling the coral reefs, a quick workout at the gym or simply relaxing on a sun lounger with your favourite book, there is so much (or so little) to do at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort. Whether you’re looking to fill up your days with fun and adventure, or keep the party going after sunset with live music and premium cocktails, there is something for everyone.

World Surfaris clients can enjoy all-inclusive non-motorised watersports and snorkelling, as well as a range of complimentary excursions such as a Dolphin or Sunset Cruise. Non-surfing guests can also redeem their daily $50 USD resort credit on activities such as yoga, diving, or Chavana Day Spa treatments.
