Huraa: Your gateway to North Malé Atoll's Epic Surf Breaks (Surfing in Maldives on a Budget)
Surfing at Ninjas without a crowd
Dreaming of carving across turquoise waves in a tropical paradise? Look beyond the typical Maldivian resorts and discover Huraa, a hidden gem in the North Malé Atoll. Huraa offers a unique blend: world-class waves, a laid-back atmosphere, and affordable guesthouses, making it the perfect spot for your Maldivian surf adventure.
Escape the Crowds (Well, some of them atleast..)
Unlike Thulusdhoo and Himmafushi, Huraa doesn’t have a spot you can paddle out to, meaning the island isn't overrun with surfers. Instead, we check the swell and head out to the best spot of the day. Huraa is located ideally in the center with Ninjas, Chickens and Cokes on one side and Sultans, Honkeys and Jailbreaks on the other. With the popularity of Maldives as a surf destination increasing, crowds are for the most part unavoidable. But with our guides always on the lookout and in the line up with you, we can guarantee you’ll be one of the first surfers at the break.
Ninjas being further away from other islands, is our first choice, and through experience is less crowded compared to more popular spots such as Sultans or Jailbreaks.

Budget-Friendly Food and Accommodation
Huraa boasts a significant advantage – affordability. Forget expensive seaplane transfers required for many atolls. Huraa sits just 25 minutes from Malé International Airport, accessible by a convenient and budget-friendly speedboat ride (just 10 dollars per person). Combine this with the comfortable and affordable guesthouses on Huraa, and you've got a winning combination for a wallet-conscious surf trip. Expect to find guesthouses for as low as 45USD per night or even for cheaper if you opt for a surf package.
Beyond the Surf
Huraa isn't just about surfing. After a day of catching waves, unwind on the pristine white sand beaches of one of the best bikini beaches in the area. Or rent out a SUP and go explore the only mangrove in the entire atoll. Expect to find tens of baby black tip sharks, mangrove rays and mangrove snappers. Talk to any one of the excursion centers and plan out anything from a simple snorkeling trip to a full day sand bank picnic.
