Hudhuranfushi surf resort

Hudhuranfushi luxury surf resort Maldives is the most stunningly beautiful island, with ancient banyan trees, coconut groves and tropical gardens. The resort philosophy emphasizes gently working with nature and the result is quite idyllic. Hudhuranfushi translates to ‘Island of White Gold’ and our beaches are just that, with gently shelving, sheltered swimming areas and some fun snorkeling just offshore.

If you have a guest who wants to be sure that his non surfing partner is going to enjoy time at the beach while he surfs (a lot!) then this is the place!

The resort

At the resort Hudhuranfushi there are 215 guests scattered around the island. Because of the spacious layout it feels pleasant and there is enough space for the guests. If you want to be close to the surf spot you can best choose a Lohis villa, these are less than a minute walk from the surf break. Because of the waves that break nearby on the reef it is also a little noisier but that also brings the charm of this place.  

If you prefer a slightly quieter villa, you can best choose a beach villa located on the lagoon side of the island. View over the water and a beautiful location between the palm trees of the island.   

Of course there are also the very luxurious water villas that give the ultimate Maldives feeling as you would expect. The villas are surrounded by water and give an idyllic feeling.  

Other sports

Besides the possibility to surf one of the best waves in the Maldives(Lohis), there are many other options to have fun. The extensive water sports facilities give you plenty of choice to have fun. Windsurfing, kite surfing, snorkeling, diving trips and catamaran sailing. To make the most of the beautiful water with the tropical fish and ocean life it is wise to bring your own snorkel mask/ set so you can have a snorkel moment at all times.  

If you don’t want to go into the ocean, you can of course have water fun in one of the two swimming pools. The main pool is situated next to the outdoor bar so you can enjoy a cocktail or other tropical drink while swimming.  

Bars

With the 4 bars that are present it won’t happen that you will end up without a deserved holiday drink. the sunset bar, beach bar, Lohi’s bar and the coconut day spa are spread all over the island.  

A great advantage here at Hudhuranfushi is that you can enjoy your holiday without worries. No hustle and bustle, enough attention and no pests, which ensures that you can enjoy the outdoors for a long time. And of course… it’s almost always nice weather here so a pair of shorts, t-shirt, bikini or swimming trunks and sunburn and you’re ready to go.   

 

Lohis breaks quite far up the reef, compared to all the other lefts in the area. This means that Lohis is more protected from the wind and chop from the channel than the other lefts nearby, making Lohis the most consistently surf-able resort wave in the Maldives. If you have guests who just want an easy trip with an uncrowded, ride-able wave out the front, then this is the place for them. 

The Surf

We are situated right in the middle of the North Male Surf Zone – it’s just 20 mins by boat up to Cokes and Chickens or 25mins down to Sultans, Honky’s and Jails. We also have the easiest wave in the area, Ninja’s, just 5 mins across the channel! Location, Location, Location doesn’t just apply to selling houses! 

The Surf Package includes boat trips to all these waves depending on the conditions. This year we typically had an early boat going out at 5:45AM then two boats at 9:30AM and two more for the late afternoon/sunset session leaving at 3:30PM. If you have guests who want multiple Surf options every day, then this is the place for them! 

Our Photography service is becoming legendary. Photography base leader Ali Ahmed runs a tight ship. If a good wave is ridden we aim to have the shot of it…from multiple angles! If your surfers want to get quality photographs of their trip, then this is the place for them. 

Other then Surfing

Yoga has become increasingly popular. We run morning and evening classes on the custom built Yoga deck in front of the wave. It is the perfect way to start the day and the non-surfing partners really love it! Couples will stroll up to Lohis in the cool early morning. He paddles out to surf and she heads to the secluded yoga deck. Later they enjoy breakfast together on the deck and both think it’s hard to imagine a better holiday! 

Food and Drink has continued to improve and next season is going to be better than ever, with the hotel upgrading to a Premium All Inclusive package. Early indications are that it is going to substantially improve on an area that was already pretty good! 

Hotel management of Hudhuranfushi luxury surf resort are committed to the islands Surf Program and have invested heavily in a new Kids Club ready for the 2020 Surf Season – so now Mum and Dad can have a Surf together knowing that the kids are alright!
