Your base for this luxury Maldives surf trip is the stunning and award-winning Niyama Maldives Private Islands – one of the most luxurious surf resorts on the planet.
The island’s private surf break – Vodi – offers up some screaming left-handers, with plenty of face for big hacks, and when the swell builds some serious tube time as well.
In fact, the likes of Gabriel Medina, Occy and Kanoa Igarashi regularly visit to score some Maldives perfection!
As well as Vodi surf break, there are a host of other incredible waves to explore in the area too – including the likes of Mauroofs (aka Kasabu), Hocus Pocus, and Machines, which offer up a mix of lefts, rights, and something suitable for most levels of surfer too.
Based in the remote Dhaalu Atoll, the resort comprises two islands – Play and Chill.
Bounce between the two depending on your mood, kick back and relax, indulge in some cold cocktails, get your adrenaline pumping with some watersports, or why not go all out with a meal and night out in the world’s first underwater club?
With 12 dining & drinking options to choose from, you can refuel and let your hair down after a long day of tropical Maldives waves.
If you’re traveling with the family, you’ll also be stoked to know that the kids club is included, too, so you can score pumping surf without having to worry about the little ones.

We just got back from Niyama and wow it was perfect!
Could not have asked for a better honeymoon/surf trip and I wanted to sincerely thank you for everything.
The resort and staff were amazing. Everyone was so friendly and generous from the surf crew to the hosts and waiters just cannot say enough good things about the whole place. The villa we got was perfect location wise and everything about the villa itself. It was truly a dream trip. The surf was great from the crew in the water (hung out with John who also booked through you) was awesome, just great vibes all around. The waves themselves were some of my favorite I have ever surfed in the world. Kasabu was a dream and I had a blast surfing Vodi whenever I wanted with no one out. Sorry I don’t want to take up too much of your time but I really wanted to say thank you for making all of this happen and being so helpful along the way, we will absolutely be doing this again in the future and look forward to booking through you again.
Thank you soooo much!
David and Kelsey
Totally streamlined and easy process. Chris was great! Will use them again for sure.
Best service I could have hoped for. Always patient with all of our dumb questions. Answers were quick to come, straightforward and truthful. We had a 10/10 trip, thanks in large part to Chris at Stoked Surf Adventures. Can’t wait to use them to book again!
Incredible customer service! Chris and his team not only helped us find a wonderful place for our honeymoon, but continued to check in with us even once we arrived at the island!
Chris was awesome in booking our trip to Niyama. Very helpful with advice for the trip. Will use him for future trips for sure
