Located on the beautiful island of Mulah in the central Meemu atolls, is Surf & Yoga Maldives. Less busy than the northern atolls, this area of the Maldives is a perfect surfing destination with point breaks and a-frames breaking over all sorts of vibrant reef life. This can be a spot for beginners, but is more fine tuned for intermediate to advanced surfers. With tons of barrel spots, rippable walls and speedy take offs, the Maldives is definitely not short of waves.

A simple and elegant space, Surf & Yoga Maldives is your home away from home, steps away from the finest white sand beaches, crystal clear azure waters and pumping waves.

Surf & Yoga Maldives offers an array of surf, yoga and diving package retreats. You will be able to choose from a selection of 7, 10 and 14 days of fun.

Their surf specific packages are tailored towards beginner intermediate and advanced intermediate surfers. For beginner intermediates the coaching focus will be on speed generation, improving wave reading, duck diving, stance and mobility, as well as top and bottom turn fundamentals. Whilst the advanced intermediate package consists of more attention on speed generation and positioning for different kinds of waves, learning how to cutback and do floaters, all with video analysis sessions.

The retreat’s yoga specific packages are filled with classes of different flows, meditation workshops, either on the beach or in their open air yoga shala.

If you’re interested in a balance package of yoga and surf, you’ll be able to experience a mix of all of the above, in addition to stand up paddle board sessions, as well as island and snorkelling tours.

Furthermore, scuba dive packages are also on offer at Surf & Yoga Maldives. These are alternatively 8 days long, with a selection of courses on offer as well as fun dives, yoga and breath work workshops. Diving in the Maldives is one of the most magical experiences ever. It is a place where you can be lucky enough to see dolphins, whales, different kinds of rays and sharks, amongst an abundance of colourful reef life.

On this stunning island paradise you also have the option to tailor your own personalised package retreat and Surf & Yoga Maldives. Including or not including, surfing, yoga, and other activities. These can encompass sunset fishing, scuba diving, relaxing in the spa, playing sports with the locals, going for mud baths, freediving and spear fishing.

If you’re aiming to charge some waves, the best time to visit would be during the months of April to June, when the southern hemisphere winter brings clean swells onto the reefs of this magnificent archipelagic nation. Otherwise, head over any time for the best relaxing or active tropical retreat!
