The Surf
The Central Atolls of the Maldives is a premier surf destination featuring uncrowded, high-quality breaks. Just off the edge of Niyama’s Play Island, you’ll find Vodi, a powerful and sometimes hollow left-hander that offers thrilling rides right onto the shore. A short five-minute speedboat ride west takes you to Kasabu, a rippable and hollow right-hander perfect for a different wave experience. The area boasts a variety of surf spots suitable for all levels, with consistent waves year-round. Whether you’re seeking adrenaline-pumping barrels or more mellow rides, Niyama’s surf scene promises an unforgettable adventure in a stunning tropical paradise.
