Experience a 7-night, all-inclusive surf escape in the Southern Maldives, designed for surfers ready to build confidence and enjoy consistent, world-class waves in a truly untouched setting. Staying on a local island near the legendary breaks of Huvadhoo Atoll, this journey offers daily guided surf sessions with both an experienced surf coach, the one and only, Serena Adams, and knowledgeable local guides, ensuring you are always in the right place at the right time while feeling supported, relaxed, and completely immersed in the rhythm of the ocean.
This is more than a surf trip. It is a step back in time to a slower, more authentic Maldives, where life moves with the tides and the lineups stay uncrowded.
Between sessions, unwind in a peaceful tropical setting surrounded by crystal-clear water, swaying palms, and warm ocean breezes. Enjoy all meals included, showcasing fresh local flavours, along with curated experiences such as a traditional fishing charter, snorkelling in pristine reefs, and sunset cocktails at a neighbouring resort for a touch of indulgence.
With a maximum of 8 guests, personalised guidance, and access to some of the least crowded waves in the Maldives, this retreat offers a rare combination of exclusive access, deep relaxation, and authentic island life. Every detail is taken care of, and every moment invites you to slow down, reconnect, and simply enjoy the surf.

See what the WEGroup Global community is saying
These girls totally rock!
"As a dedicated Woman Explore / Surf Getaways groupie, I've recently wrapped up my 5th surf tour with them, and I must say, they've mastered the perfect formula. From the exotic locations to the splendour of beautiful accommodations and delectable cuisine, every aspect is meticulously curated. The level of customer service, both before, during, and after the trip, is nothing short of fabulous, and the coaching and guiding are truly legendary. Without a doubt, I'll be back for more, and I'm already encouraging my fellow surfer ladies to join the next adventure. Who's up for Morocco?"
