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. 

Accommodation

The accommodation at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort has everything you’d expect from a picture-perfect Maldivian escape. The resort has accommodation for all budgets, whether you’re looking for a romantic and private Ocean Villa, or one of the Lohis Rooms located only a one-minute walk to the world-class Lohis Left surf break. All accomodation types at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort are serviced daily, and feature unlimited Wi-Fi free of charge.

LOHIS ROOMS

For surfers, these rooms are hard to beat. The Lohis Rooms are as close to the action as you can get, with the Lohis Deck and Lohis Bar only a short one-minute walk away.

Each one of the Lohis Rooms are configured with either one king bed or two single beds, as well as a TV, a mini bar restocked daily, wardrobe, air-conditioning, a well-appointed bathroom and a small relaxation deck with a surfboard rack. Lohis Rooms can also be configured as a tripe share upon request.

Only a few steps to the pristine palm-fringed beach, Hudhuranfushi Resort’s Beach Villas are perfect for surfers travelling with non-surfing friends, family or loved ones.

These spacious villas are configured with either a king bed, two single beds or a triple share. Beach Villas feature a TV, warbdobe, desk space, a mini bar restocked daily, air-conditioning, an indoor/outdoor bathroom, and a timber outdoor living area overlooking the beach.

Deluxe Beach Villas feature all the comforts and facilities of Hudhuranfushi Resort’s Beach Villas, along with additional privacy and premium positioning around the island. Deluxe Beach Villas stand alone and are not semi-detatched, unlike the surf resort’s Beach Villas.

These spacious beachfront villas sleep up to 6 guests, and feature the same facilities as the resort’s Beach Villas. Family Beach Villas include two bathrooms, two mini bars and a large timber outdoor living area.

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.

Surf Guides

The experienced surf guides at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort not only educate guests on surfing in the Maldives, but are also known for creating the uncomparable atmosphere World Surfaris guests experience at Lohis, whether you’re having a beer on the Lohis Deck or scoring epic waves out in the lineup. More often than not, you will leave Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort with lifelong friendships in the surf guides, who live and breathe to make your surfing experience memorable.

The Hudhuranfushi surf guides offer daily boat trips to six other surf breaks, all within a short 20-minute boat trip away. You decide which wave suits you best and our surf guides will make sure you get there.

Photography and videography services are also available through Hudhuranfushi’s surf guides.

Non-Surf Activities

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 and experiences surrounding the resort available at an additional cost.

From treatments at the spa, to snorkeling 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 guests can enjoy all-inclusive non-motorised watersports and snorkeling, as well as a range of complimentry excursions such as a Dolphin or Sunset Cruise. Non-surfing guests can also redeem their $50 USD daily credit voucher on activites such as yoga, diving, or Chavana Day Spa treatments.

Chavana Day Spa

A trip to the Maldives isn’t complete without a visit to a day spa. The Chavana Day Spa at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort offers a range of spa services, from traditional aromatherapy massage, to more complex face and body treatments for every skin type.

The experienced Balinese therapists will help purify your body and mind through a myriad of spa treatments and you’ll leave feeling renewed, refreshed and relaxed.

The Chavana Day Spa features four double rooms with outdoor showers and baths, three outdoor bales, manicure and pedicure facilities and a retail boutique with a range of beautiful products and gifts.

Sporting Facilities

If you like to get active on holidays, Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort has a range of sporting facilities to keep you entertained. Play tennis or squash, workout in the gym, take the kids to the playground or swim some laps in the pool.

Yoga & Physiotherapy

If you just can’t miss your weekly yoga sessions, no worries. Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort offers surf-specific yoga sessions twice a day, perfect for stretching out between surfs. Private and semi-private yoga sessions are available at the resort, as well as physiotherapy sessions with an experienced physiotherapist.

Snorkeling & Watersports

The lagoons out the front of Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort are teeming with tropical fish and coral reefs, making it the perfect place to grab a snorkel, fins and goggles and take off to explore the crystal clear water and marine life.

The Maldives is an aquatic playground, so it’s not surprising that it attracts watersport lovers from around the world. From catamaran sailing, to wind surfing, jet skiing, canoeing and kite surfing, Hudhuranfushi has it all.

 

Dive Centre

The abundant marine life and pristine waters of the North Malé Atoll make it the ideal place to dive. From bronze whale sharks, to tropical fish and coral, the Maldives is on the top 10 must-dive sites for international divers.

From Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort you can access a spectacular 40 different dive points, including MS Victory Wreck, Octbetilla, Manta Point, Shark Point, Rainbow Giri, Lions Head, Paradise Rock, Aquarium, Coral Garden, Banana Reef and more.

Never dived before? No worries. Hudhuranfushi Resort offers dive courses in English, German, Japanese and Dhivehi. Additionally, the resort offers certificates for PADI, Barakuda and CMAS. Equipment hire is available through the dive centre, including BCD, regulator, wetsuit, computer, mask, fins, snorkel, video camera and more. Diving experiences and excursions are available every day, weather permitting.

Fishing

A weekly fishing excursion is included for all surfers and their families during their stay. This is a casual and light-hearted experience where surfers can connect and enjoy an activity together after a day in the surf. Other fishing trips and experiences are also available at Hudhuranfushi Surf Resort.

Lohis Deck & Beaches

Prefer to keep it simple? Kick back on a sun lounger with a drink of your choice at one of Hudhuranfushi Resort’s pristine beaches, or head to the Lohis Deck for the perfect shady vantage point of the surf.
