Surf & Yoga Maldives is located in a traditional Maldivian-style guesthouse. The property features five guest rooms, a kitchen, a dining area, and a white sandy garden with tropical trees and a relaxing swing. Situated in the northern part of the island, it offers easy access to some of the island’s highlights. Boli Beach for snorkeling and sunsets, Bikini Beach for sunbathing, and the Pits surf spot are all within a 5-10 minute walk.
Meals are freshly made to your order. One thing really important for us in planning your holiday is that your dietary requirements are accounted for. Being a small island chain and the supply being limited, we strive our best to give you what you want. We include breakfast, lunch, and dinner in all our packages. Breakfast varieties include pancake, porridge, egg on toast and you should not miss “Mas Huni” (tuna coconut salad with home made bread) which is made by the camp mama. For lunch, we offer a lot of fruits and tea / coffee to cool you down from the mid day heat. Dinner includes salad varieties, fish on the grill, fried rice or noodles, and delicious island curries made by the camp chef.
If you’ve brought work with you – or you’re a digital nomad – Surf & Yoga Maldives offers a co-working space, equipped with comfortable seating, high speed internet and AC to beat the island heat. It’s also sound proof from the outside noise.
It’s not flashy or overdeveloped, and that’s exactly the charm. Expect quiet palm-lined paths, turquoise lagoons, smiling locals, and sunsets that seem to pause time. Whether you’re here to learn to surf, level up your skills, or simply reset and soak in island life, Veymandoo welcomes you with open arms and salty hair.
Grab your mask and fins and jump into a crystal-clear underwater world. Our snorkeling trips take you to some of the most stunning reef spots in the atoll, where you’ll swim alongside colorful fish, sea turtles, baby reef sharks, and maybe even spot dolphins on the ride out. It’s a gentle reminder of how precious and wild this lifestyle really is – and why we protect it.
Island life tastes delicious. From home-cooked meals at the retreat to evenings spent in small local restaurants nearby, you’ll get a true taste of Maldivian cuisine. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with love. It’s not just a meal, it’s a cultural experience.
One of our favorite moments? Setting up a sunset BBQ on a deserted sandbank. Picture this: your feet in the sand, ocean all around, grilled seafood sizzling over the fire, and the sky glowing pink and gold. No noise, no crowds – just you, your crew, and the magic of the Maldives.
Veymandoo island locals are some of the friendliest in the region. Being such a small island away from everything, it’s easy to be friendly with the islanders and get to know a bit of their life and culture. You might even end up having tea at their home.
When you’re not surfing or snorkeling, there’s always the option to do… absolutely nothing. Veymandoo’s beaches are peaceful, untouched, and postcard-perfect. Bring your book, your journal, or your hammock nap game. Swim in warm lagoons, stroll along the reef at low tide, or just float and let the sun do its thing.
Play the local game Carrom or billard with your surf coaches, friends, your partner or some random locals. The room is equipped with a high end music system, karaoke set up and air-conditioning.

We ask for a 20% deposit to secure your booking, please contact us to proceed with the payment. We kindly ask our customers to come with the amount of their stay in cash US($) or Euro (€) in order to pay directly to our local partners. Don’t hesitate to contact us for any questions.
There is an ATM on the island. Most shops on the island accept USD or MVR, and you can also pay with credit card. If you want to exchange money, it’s best to do this at the airport or Male.
Given that our camp is located on a local island, it is appropriate to walk in the street always covered. Strappy t-shirts, mini – shorts or dresses are accepted as long as we don’t see any underwear. We have a bikini beach. We provide a Rash guard for surfing, however for women if you are surfing at our home-break please bring a mini-short to cover your buttock. You can surf in a bikini when we go to a surf break accessible by boat.
The main option is a 3-hour speedboat from Malé – smooth and scenic! There’s a toilet on board, and if you get seasick easily, we recommend taking a tablet before the ride. There are two speedboat departures a day from the Airport to Veymandoo. At 10h30 and 16h30 (approximately). Please book your flight before these hours in order to be able to reach Veymandoo the same day as your arrival. In case you want to spend your night in Malé, you can also take the ferry from Malé harbor.
You can also fly to Thimarafushi Airport (just 20 mins from us). Flights are around $150 one way, and we’ll help arrange your full transfer.
You will get a regular tourist visa valid for 30 days at arrival. If you would like to stay longer with us, we can help you with the extension of your visa for up to 90 days total stay. All travellers are required to submit the Traveller Declaration within 96 hours to the flight time, during arrival and departure. This can be applied on IMUGA.
Absolutely! Partners or family members who don’t surf or practice yoga are welcome. They can enjoy massages, workshops, or simply relax on the beach and enjoy delicious food. Contact us for more information and pricing.
Surfing is a fantastic family holiday activity, and having kids join your surf lessons is always a lot of fun. We do have an age limit for surfing guests though – they must be at least 6 years old and accompanied by one participating adult. Children requiring their own room are charged at the adult rate.
Yes – we highly recommend having travel insurance that covers surfing and water activities. While we take every precaution to keep you safe, it’s always best to be covered in case of injury, illness, or unexpected changes.
Please note that we can’t offer refunds for missed activities such as surf or yoga sessions due to personal injury or sickness, so having the right insurance ensures your trip remains stress-free.
We recommend you bring surf clothing for tropics, your personal surf board, surf wax, and a spare leash and fins (since you will need to go to Male to buy new ones in case something breaks). Also a very important thing to bring, which is a bit rate on the island is good sunscreen or zinc as sun can be quite extreme here.
Simply put, we stick to an upper limit of 1:5 guide-to-students ratio.
We suggest that you bring your personal board, extra fins and leashes, wax, sunscreen, or zinc.
Yes, we advise you to bring your own board since there is not a good choice when it comes to rental shops in this remote island.
