Adaaran Select Hudhuran Fushi is one of the best surf resorts in the Maldives. The resort attracts world class waves from perfect left breaking down one side of the island and six other world class waves just a short boat ride from the resort.
Known as the ‘surfer’s paradise’ the island also has resident guides who have intricate knowledge of this coastline, the tides and local weather patterns, meaning they know exactly where to go to catch the perfect wave.
Designed with guest comfort and relaxation in mind, accommodations feature the finest furnishings with rooms overlooking the picturesque shoreline and sunrise views.
From morning surfing together at the resort wave, to evenings spent reminiscing on the day’s fun throughout their restaurant, there are ample opportunities to reconnect with one another and make lifelong memories.
Guests can also opt to pamper themselves at the resort’s spa located amid the tropical gardens where ancient healing techniques are combined with cutting-edge therapies.
Each of the spa’s treatments offer a beautiful sanctuary for pampering and wellbeing, alongside grooming services for a refreshing experience that will leave you glowing from head to toe.
