Reviews

Best Resort Surf Experience

“Richard and Amy have created a Maldivian surfing Mecca that would be difficult to beat anywhere. A world famous left hander out front, numerous nearby reef breaks offering something for surfers of every level, luxury surfer’s accommodation, bar, restaurant and a great team of staff all eager to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. It’s an upscale surf camp within a luxury resort. We were often the only group in the water, sad only to see many perfect waves going unridden due to their abundance

Luxurious resort with un-crowded waves

“Stayed in a Lohis room for 7 nights & my husband had the surf pass. All surfers got a 30min Chinese massage. As a partner of a surfer I got to spend $50 US per day. Did yoga, had a spa massage in Chevana spa, did a snorkelling trip was fantastic where we saw turtles, sharks, stingrays and beautiful colourful fish. The whole island is so pretty. Staff were very friendly. Food was amazing! Upgraded to an ocean villa for the last night! ”
