Surfing at Anantara Veli Maldives Resort

Anantara Veli Maldives Resort has its own wave breaking right onto Dhoni bar and you can access it from land by walking down to the jetty and paddling out.

Explore a variety of waves while surfing in the Maldives, from peeling, playful rights to down-the-line left barrels around the resort with the furthest break to be a thirty-minute boat ride away from the resort.

Tropicsurf operates exclusively from neighbouring resort, Anantara Dhigu and offers expert guidance, water safety and coaching tips. One of the advantages of surfing from Anantara Veli is the wide range of experiences on offer, which cater to any level, from beginner to advanced surfers.

Lagoon Lesson

If you’re a novice, try a “Dream” lagoon session where you’ll learn the basics of surfing within the safety and comfort of the resort lagoon.  Close by, there is a dreamy beginner wave named “Henry’s”, perfect for those looking to catch their first wave.

Ocean Transition

For something a little more challenging, nearby break “Nonyas” offers long peeling, rides with easy, mellow take-offs. This is the perfect spot to hone your newfound skills and is considered by many surfers to be their nirvana.

Ticket to Ride

Further afield, “Boatyards”, a surf break just ten minutes away from Anantara Veli, is a perfect left that is extremely hollow, providing some of the best waves in the Maldives.  Pick one with a nice roll in section and set up your line for what could be the wave of your life.

Veli Left

Advanced surfers need to look no further than the left-hand reef break of Veli, a popular choice given it breaks directly in front of Dhoni bar. You can access it from land by walking down to the jetty and paddling out.

Access to the Veli left is complimentary for all in-house advanced surfers when travelling with their own equipment.  

Surfing Season

Surfing Season

Tropicsurf operates from the neighbouring resort, Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort year round. However, April to October is considered the surf season in the Maldives. Swell size in the off-season months may vary and won’t be ideal for a serious surfing vacation. As surf season starts, the swell direction changes and swell size and consistency normally increases. Waves are usually chest-high and may reach to a little overhead.
