The island of Thimarafushi is an ideal island for surfers, located in the center of the Maldives, 221 kilometers south of Male, the nation’s capital. The region has become increasingly popular as surfers seek to escape the crowds in the north. When it comes to surfing in the central Maldives, you can’t beat the island of Thimarafushi, with world-class waves and a good mix of both righties and lefties to choose from. All of the surf spots are within a short boat ride of the island and are close to each other, so you can change spots within minutes.
The main Central Atolls are Meemu, Dhaalu, Thaa and Laamu. They are great for fun while offering endless, high-performance waves. An advantage of the Central Atolls is the accessibility of breaks that are exposed to the widest range of wave directions, from southwest to southeast. The best waves are found on the reefs next to the channel where the water enters and leaves the atoll lagoon. Wave direction, tide and wind direction determine the best spot for the day. The best breaks in the Central Atolls are righties, but there are also several good lefties.
Located in the Thaa Atoll, our Guest House on the island of Thimarafushi, a beautiful area of the Maldives in the southeastern part of the archipelago, is where you will discover true local life. One of the most beautiful and cozy, the Guest House is designed for tourists seeking recreation and tranquility in tropical nature.
It is one of the most popular atolls in the Maldives among surfers, with some of the richest fishing grounds in the Maldives. And with the addition of 25 dive sites featuring beautiful reefs and channels, it becomes one of the best destinations for divers, as well as a number of uninhabited private islands.
A 5-minute dhoni transfer from the famous Mikado Inside spot, it’s great for all levels, even those who want to learn, as it’s an easy wave that ends in a deep spot, protected from winds that in often arrive off shore.
