Ayada Maldives
Explore the Remote Southern Atolls
If you’re looking for exclusive luxury, unrivaled service and some of the best waves the Maldives has to offer then Ayada is the perfect resort for you. Ayada is the only resort with access to the amazing waves in Huvadhoo Atoll in the far Southern Atolls. With 7 high-quality waves within a 30-minute speedboat ride from the resort and the help of the superb onsite surf team, you will always be able to find a wave that suits your level and the conditions.
The Resort
Located a 45-minute flight away from the capital Malé, the resort sits on a pristine tropical island. The island itself is larger than most resort islands, giving a real feeling of space and seclusion to each villa, allowing you and your partner/family to really relax after a long day of tropical surfing.
With a full range of luxury resort facilities, multiple pools, and secluded lagoons, Ayada is a true tropical paradise. Long white sandy beaches with beautiful coral reefs fringing the island, just waiting for you to explore!
Waves at AYADA Maldives
Being in an area more exposed to swell means that it is rare to be flat and with so many wave options, there are spots in almost all winds. This makes the region very consistent.
With 6 high-quality waves within a short boat ride from the resort (Tiger Stripes – fun, consistent left, Love Charms – a mechanical lefthander, 2-ways – beginner-friendly a frame peak, 5 Islands – classy righthander, Antiques – beginner-friendly right and Blue Bowls – ultra-consistent right-hander), you’ll be spoilt for choice. For the more advanced surfer, there is a real gem hidden about a 45-minute boat ride away!
The peak surf months are March – May and September – November but we have found amazing waves year round!
The Villas
AYADA Maldives offers some of the most exclusive and intimate villa options that we have seen in the Maldives. From the Beautifully secluded Garden and Beach Villas, which offer complete privacy to the stunning Lagoon Water Suites, you’ll be amazed by the quality of the accommodation.
If you’re looking for something particularly special, the Overwater Villas are second to none with uninterrupted views over the Indian Ocean. Talk to one of our Expert Surf Travel Team for help finding the perfect room for your trip!
