Surfing with Tropicsurf

Surf’s up at Gili

Ideally located in the North Malé atoll, our resort puts guests within easy access of some of the best surf breaks in the country. Tropical water temperatures, consistent swells, and light crowds only add to the appeal. We’ve teamed up with the experienced instructors at luxury surf company Tropicsurf to offer an array of lessons and surf trips, tailored to guests of all experience levels, from beginners and intermediate surfers to expert wave warriors.

Surfing in North Male Atoll

Guests can ride barrels in the same spot where surfing in the Maldives was born. A traditional Dhoni boat whisks surfers to some of the country’s finest surf breaks, three of which are just a five-minute boat ride away (and many more within 20 minutes).
