When it comes to surfing in the Maldives, Pasta Point is a stand out favourite – with one of the most exclusive and consistent waves in the country.
And for 2026 they’re running a ladies only week host by world tour surfer and coach Nikki Van Dijk – so you can enjoy one of the worlds best left-handers with just the ladies in the lineup!
Pasta Point is one of those waves that gets talked about all over the globe. A long, peeling left-hander that wraps through a pristine Maldivian atoll — exclusive to guests of Cinnamon Dhonveli, capped at 30 surfers on the island, and one of the most consistent waves in the country.
For one week in October 2026, that wave belongs to 28 women — with WSL Championship Tour surfer Nikki Van Dijk in the water alongside them.
This isn’t just a surf trip. Nikki has spent years developing a performance and wellness approach built around longevity in the ocean — yoga, mobility, breathwork and recovery are woven through the week alongside the surf. You’ll finish the week surfing better, feeling better, and with a pretty good collection of memories.
Group size is capped at 28 to keep the experience personal and the lineup uncrowded. Spots will go fast.
This retreat is designed for women who:
Nikki Van Dijk is an Australian professional surfer from Phillip Island, Victoria.
She’s competed on the WSL Championship Tour — surfing’s top tier — for over a decade, claiming a CT victory in Portugal and a World Junior Title in Bali along the way.
Away from competition, Nikki has built a reputation for something equally important to her: sharing her love of surfing and the ocean with others.
She’s been running surf and yoga retreats for several years, combining her performance knowledge with a genuine passion for wellness, movement and the environment.
Her approach in the water is grounded in fundamentals — fluid, powerful and considered.
That’s exactly what she brings to a retreat week.
With direct access from the resort, Pasta Point is THE most exclusive waves in the Maldives. This reeling left hander is also one of the most consistent spots in the country too.
Across the channel from Pasta is Sultans, a super rippable right hander that will keep regular footers frothing, whilst the other side of the peak is Honkys, a left hander.
Another Maldives favourite, this long right hander has 3 peaks which can link into one epic ride when the swells right
