VODI SURF POINT AT NIYAMA CORNER

This wave works best when the wind blows from a north to easterly direction making the left hander hollow and rippable. It usually picks up more swell than Kasabu, as it is perfectly exposed to south and southwest swells. 

When small, the wave is fun and caters to beginners, longboards and funboards. When bigger, it becomes suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers. 

The best part of all is you can reach this wave by simply walking to the point and paddling out – no boat transfer is needed. Upon request, we'll do our best to get you a beach villa as close to the spot as possible.

KASABU SURF POINT AT KUDAHUVADHOO CORNER

This is the spot to surf in west to northwest winds, located on the opposite side of the channel approximately ten minutes by boat. The wave wraps in on the reef by more than 90 degrees and is a world-class right hander suited to intermediate and advanced surfers. In medium-sized swells, enjoy the long, rippable walls and end barrel section.

Access Kasabu via our surf transfer service.

SURF PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERICK PROOST

Surf’s up at Niyama Private Islands Maldives, with renowned professional surf photographer, Erick Proost arriving in early March to start a three-month residency. 
Returning to the resort for the third time, Erick will be capturing action images of guests riding the waves during their stay at the resort.

Having worked with world champions and professional surfers, Erick is a cinematographer and photographer specialised in surfing and water shots, and 
spends his day swimming in the ocean at Vodi or out on boats to other surf breaks taking pictures of surfing guests. 

After a day’s surfing, guests can hang out with Erick and other surfers at the Surf Shack, the perfect spot for sundowners, whilst enjoying rum cocktails,
gourmet snacks from the food truck and a reggae soundtrack.
