PRIVATE WAVES IN PARADISE
Niyama Private Islands is perfection for surfers seeking uncrowded, world-class waves. With options for all levels and preferences, a variety of breaks to choose from and the best team on site, look no further, you’ve found it.
THE SURF
VODI
This is it, the dream setup. A perfect, peeling left-hander at your doorstep with a handful of people to share it with. When Vodi is on, it doesn't get any better than this. An easy take-off launches you into a fun, fast wall with chances of a barrel. No boat, no crowd, no hassle.
THE SURF

Vodi works on all swell sizes, handling a wide range of surfers. Beginners and less confident surfers will love this wave on smaller days. When the bigger swells roll through, this gem really turns on! Resident photographers will catch your best moments and ensure you have some memories to take home with you.
THE SURF
KASABU
A regular-footer’s dream, long, playful right-hander just 5 minutes by boat across the channel from Vodi. One of the best right-handers in the Maldives that just keeps on going! This thing is perfect for turns, with a barreling section at the start if you are up for it.
THE SURF
KASABU
The wave then bends around the reef and keeps on going until it eventually opens up into deep water for an easy paddle back. This corner is also perfect for the less experienced surfers and another great spot for lessons and coaching. On its day, it’s one of the Maldives’ longest and most playful rights.
THE SURF
HOCUS POCUS
A fast, hollow right-hand reef break, 15 minutes from Niyama. Your on-site guide can tell you when it’s firing and if the call is on, you have to go!
THE SURF
OTHER WAVES
For those craving solitude, Dhaalu Atoll hides secret breaks accessible only by boat. Speedboat transfers unlock even more gems, with the option to venture further afield to Meemu and Thaa. Here you can find playful turns, hollow rights, and punchy peaks throughout these nearby atolls, ensuring you score no matter what.
