Surfing Holidays in Kandooma Island

The best surf locations in Kandooma Island

“If you’re looking for a stylish sanctuary with that miles-from-anywhere feeling, head for the Kandooma Island Resort.”

Kandooma Island in the the South Male atolls have the same surfing conditions as The North Male Atolls, but typically a bit smaller. The Kandooma Island surf resort also tends to be a touch less busy than the other resorts. There are fantastic waves here, breaking everyday! The resort itself is one of the best equipped for the whole family, from kids clubs to pampering Spa's and bars. The perfect way to mix that romantic or family holiday with a few tropical waves.

Back on dry land, meanwhile, you’ll find a collection of low-slung, thatched-roof beach villas. All of them come with large picture windows – because when you’re in such a beautiful spot, you’ll want to invite the outside in. Décor wise, think modern beachside chic - whitewashed floors, crisp cotton bed linen and light muslin curtains. Things are simple, but luxuriously so. Trimmings come in the form of flatscreen TVs, indoor and outdoor power showers, and iPod docking stations. Some villas are dotted around the water’s edge, while others hover above the coral on stilts. Hang out on your own private sundeck or relax in a partially submerged hammock at high tide.

And when only total tranquillity will do, head for the spa. This state-of-the-art wellness centre offers a huge menu of treatments. Drawing on traditional therapies from India, Thailand and Bali, there’s plenty to soothe the soul here. You’ll also find all the usual staples - a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and fully-equipped gym.

Food-wise, there’s a varied mix of Mediterranean and Asian flavours on offer. Think just-caught seafood, varied salads, tapas and sunset cocktails. Plus, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your choice of eats, from moonlit beachfront dinners to cook-your-own-barbecues, à la carte dining to castaway picnics.
