About This Island
A local island in North Malé Atoll with two excellent surf breaks, a relaxed atmosphere, and easy access from the capital.
Himmafushi sits in North Malé Atoll, just 30 minutes from the capital by speedboat, yet it feels a world away from the bustle of Malé. The island is home to two surf breaks — Jailbreaks and Sultans — that attract surfers of all levels during the season. Outside of surfing, Himmafushi offers a genuinely local experience: small guesthouses run by Maldivian families, fresh seafood at local restaurants, and the kind of unhurried pace that reminds you why you came to the Maldives in the first place.
