Located in the North Malè Atoll, approximately 30 minutes boat ride from Malè airport is Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort (translates to 'Island of White Gold'). Formerly known as Lohifushi, this is the ultimate surfers' paradise with a perfect left right on your door step! Hudhuranfushi is a mid-range, multi-facility resort. The island itself is highly regarded as one of the most naturally beautiful islands in the Maldives. This reputation is due to the lush tropical vegetation that offers plenty of shade from the hot sun and the white sandy beaches that lead into the turquoise lagoons, teeming with tropical fish (it's a snorkeller’s paradise, too!).
Lowest All-Inclusive Price GUARANTEE!
There are not too many resorts in the world with a world-class wave within walking distance from your room. Lohis is widely regarded as the best left in the Maldives, not only is it super consistent and surf-able in any swell/wind/tide combination, but it is also good at any size, from 2ft to 6ft, and has multiple take off areas to spread out the guests. It’s hard to imagine a better set up so close to your room. Under the surfer management plan, you will be one of only 45 surfers with access to Lohi's left. Less people in the water will mean more waves for you, but with only 45 passes available at any one time, you must act now.
Surfer numbers capped
World Surfaris initiated the capping of on-island surfer numbers to a maximum of 45 to improve the surfer package and maintain uncrowded waves at the house break 'Lohis'. Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort is a mid-range multi-facility resort, perfect for surfing couples, honeymooners, families or the boys looking to kick back after a boat trip.

Guaranteed uncrowded surfing
Prior to 2014, there has been no control on the number of surfers permitted to stay at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort. As a result, surfer numbers spiralled out of control during the last few years, leaving many people frustrated after travelling half way around the world only to surf with a crowd. In order to guarantee uncrowded waves and a great atmosphere in and out of the water, surfer numbers were capped in 2014 and every surfer visiting reported a very enjoyable surf experience.
ALL SURFERS coming to the resort MUST book onto the ‘surfer allocation’. If surfers arrive at the resort without a space booked in the surfer allocation, they will not be able to surf during their stay. The allocation system is the only way to manage surfer numbers and ensure uncrowded waves.
Accommodation
Hudhuranfushi resort accommodation is a mix of Lohis Rooms (within 1 min walk to surf break); Beach Villas; and romantic Ocean Villas.

Surf Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort - Lohis
The Maldives experiences a similar surf season to Indonesia from March through to October. During these months the conditions are usually off-shore somewhere. Swell direction varies from SE to S to SW. The breaks of North Male Atoll generally face a southeast to southerly direction with bigger long period SW swells having to wrap in. Due to this, size may vary greatly depending on both swell intensity and swell direction. On any given day the surf size could vary from waist-chest high to double overhead +. Traditionally May to September is the biggest and most consistent, although every season has a few surprises and early and late season are becoming renowned for perfect conditions. A great variety of reef breaks exist and range in intensity from quite mellow shreddable walls to gnarlier hollow pits. The diverse range of waves in the North Malè offers something for everyone. In the North Male' atoll, between Male' and Thulhusdhoo is an assortment of breaks accessible on the World Surfaris 'Surf Package' including:
Optimum conditions for the Male atolls
Swell: SE or S (nothing comes close to a big South!!!)
Wind: Light W-NW
Jailbreaks
Thanburudhoo Island
Honkey's
Sultans
Ninjas
Cokes (colas)
Chickens
