It’s the perfect setup for enjoying all the wonders of island resort life, while having exclusive access to one of the best and most consistent waves in the Maldives. This makes Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort the ultimate holiday destination whether you’re a solo surfer on the hunt for waves, a family, a couple or a group of friends.

Guaranteed Uncrowded Waves & Capped Surfer Numbers
We understand that wave count is important to World Surfaris’ guests who visit Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort, which is why we initiated the capping of surfer numbers at Hudhuranfushi’s house break, Lohis Left.
Whether you’re staying with your family, surfing with friends, on your honeymoon or kicking back for a few days after a boat trip, the capped surfer numbers will ensure you get to enjoy this world-renowned surf break with as few other guests as possible. There aren’t many surf resorts in the Maldives that offer this kind of exclusivity, especially when one of the best left-handers in the area is located right on your doorstep.
Since the surfer cap, World Surfaris’ guests are reporting a more enjoyable surf experience as well as a better atmosphere out in the lineup, which is what a surf trip is all about! Surf, eat, sleep and repeat – what more could you want from a surfing holiday?
Your World Surfaris Surfer Pass
If you intend to surf while staying at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort, it is essential to book a Surfer Pass, which is included when booking with World Surfaris. With only 45 passes availabile at any time, it is highly reccomended to book your stay as far in advance as possible.
If you are a non-surfing adult traveling with a surfer, World Surfaris offers a $50 USD credit voucher per adult, per day, to redeem on selected non-surfing activities, excursions and spa treatments. This way, both surfers and their non-surfing loved ones can enjoy their experience at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort to the fullest potential.
Lohis Left
Imagine stepping out of your room to discover a world-class wave – it’s a setup that most surfers only dream about!
Lohis Left is consistent year-round, and surfable in most swell, wind and tide conditions. It can be ridden from 2ft to 6ft, and has multiple take-off zones. One of the best things about Lohis Left is that surfer numbers are capped, meaning as a Surf Pass holder you will be one of very few allowed to surf the wave at any given time.

Surf Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort – Lohis
This region has something for everyone, with a variety of reef breaks ranging in intensity from mellow, shreddable walls to gnarly, hollow pits. 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 8 ft, 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 room at the Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort, with another six quality waves nearby, all within a 20-minute boat ride away.
Optimum conditions for the North Malé Atolls
Swell: SE or S
Wind: Light W-NW
Lohis Left
Lohis is the crown jewel of the North Malé Atolls. A peeling left-hander that breaks right off Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort, it’s well-known as one of the most consistent waves in the Maldives.
Once host to the WQS O’Neil ‘Deep Blue Open’, at Lohis you can expect a deep, barrelling pit and rippable wall, or you can pick off the wider sets and enjoy a freight train ride all the way to the end section. In bigger swells, Lohis is more suitable to intermediate-advanced surfers. In smaller swells or during the low season, Lohis is perfect for all levels, including beginners.
Right opposite all the action, the Lohis Deck and Lohis Wave restaurant and bar is the best vantage point to watch the waves roll in. Family and friends can relax with a drink in hand, take photos, mingle with other guests and Lohis surf guides, or simply kick back and enjoy the atmosphere.
Jailbreaks
Previously off-limits, Jailbreaks is a long right-hander with three sections, including a mid-barrel section. When it’s lining up right, you can expect a super-fun 300m ride!
Honkeys
Located off Thanburudhoo Island, Honkeys is a super-fun left-hander with a mellow take-off, with a 90-degree bend offering a whackable wall. It’s fun, but not always consistent.
Sultans
Sultans is one of the most consistent and user-friendly right-handers in the world. With long walls and barrel sections, Sultans has plenty of take-off spots, so crowds shouldn’t be a problem.
Ninjas
To the north is Ninjas and it can be seen from the deck at Lohis Village. This is a fun right-hander for beginner to intermediate surfers, depending on the conditions. With an easier take-off, Ninjas is good for both short boarders and longboarders alike.
Cokes (Colas)
One of the more well-known waves in the region, Cokes is a hollow right-hander which breaks at between 3 to 10 ft. It’s more protected from the southerly winds than Lohis and offers up deep tube rides for the more experienced surfers.
Chickens
On the other side of Cokes, Chickens is the fastest left-hander in the North Malé Atoll. It’s a swell magnet and can handle swell from 3 to over 10 ft, with rides up to 500m long.
