The surfer's island just minutes from Male. It offers the iconic "Jailbreaks" wave and a slice of authentic local life among boatyards and shops.
Hinmafushi is the perfect destination for those wanting to minimize travel time, located just a 20-minute speedboat ride from the international airport. It has become a global landmark for surfers, drawn by the famous "Jailbreaks" wave, which breaks right off the island's coast.
Walking through Hinmafushi is an immersion into daily Maldivian life. It is famous for its open-air boatyards, where skilled shipwrights build huge safari boats, and for its numerous local handicraft and woodcarving workshops.
Besides surfing, the island offers a pleasant bikini beach nestled among shady trees. The calm lagoon makes it ideal for relaxing after a session in the waves or for snorkeling among parrotfish and sea turtles.
