WELCOME TO RIPTIDE'S CAMP !
A new guest-house just opened on Guraidhoo island, in South Malé atoll. It's located in front of Foxy's left and Riptides rights. Those are the 2 breaks adjacent to the island. Foxy’s is a fast shallow left hander, only semi-consistent, while Riptides (aka Last stop) is a super fun right. You have to cross a 40 m channel to get there. Riptides is very consistent and works pretty much at all tides. There are occasional safari boats that show up but crowds are generally much lighter than North Malé. Because South Malé picks up a bit less swell than North Male, we'd recommend to get there during monsoon season : May 15- Oct 15.
The Guest-house sits on the eastern water front, facing Kandooma Resort. There are 7 rooms : 01 triple room, 01 dbl room, 05 twin dbl rooms. All the rooms have Aircon with hot & cold water, the management provide towel and room cleaning every other day. All meals are taken in the restaurant, where food is being a bit adapted to western standards (less spicy !). In the backyard, there is a private and totally safe area to keep your surfboards in a rack with an outdoor shower,
Cost : 70€ per day (Double) / 110€ (Single).
That’s the most affordable land-based option in Maldives. Price includes :
- Aircon room
- 3 meals a day
- 2 dingy drops a day to Riptides
Transfer to the camp
By dhoni : 3000 Mrf (2 euros) per trip but beware with fixed schedules. Every day EXCEPT FRIDAY
Malé departute: 1330 – Guraidhoo arrival: 1530 (time to surf before it gets dark at 1800)

Expect 45 min for transfers from airport to Malé (dhoni), then from Malé airport jetty to Guraidhoo dhoni jetty (with pick up taxi for your boardbag, 3 US$).
A chartered dhoni would cost 250 US$. No speedboat transfer option so far.
