Surf’s up at Niyama Private Island Maldives, the country’s only luxury resort with waves breaking right on shore. And they take it to next-level gnarly with pro-surfer Brad Gerlach in residence. 

One of the world’s top professional surfers, Brad Gerlach has reinvented surf coaching with his unique Wave Ki method. Based on land, and drawing on the slow, precise movements of martial arts, surfers are taught to harness the ocean’s power for ever greater surf.

After a day’s surfing, guests can hang out with Brad and other surfers at the Surf Shack, the perfect spot for sundowners, whilst enjoying rum cocktails, gourmet snacks from the food truck and a reggae soundtrack.
