The Maldives has long been celebrated for its slower pace of life — where days drift between the lagoon, the beach and long lunches overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Between May and October, however, another side of the destination emerges. As the southwest monsoon brings consistent swells, surfers head out towards some of the Maldives' best-known reef breaks, including Sultans, Jailbreaks, Honky's and Chickens.
At CROSSROADS Maldives, these celebrated surf spots are just 20 to 25 minutes away by speedboat.
For dedicated surfers, mornings can start early, paddling out and making the most of glass-off conditions with local surf guides before heading back to the resort. CROSSROADS offers a rather different take on the traditional surf holiday: a morning chasing clean reef breaks can be followed by lunch at The Marina, an afternoon at SAii Spa or Rock Spa, sunset drinks and dinner across the destination.
And there is no need to arrive...
