The Wave – Varunulaa Raalhugandu
One of the most popular surf points in the whole of the Maldives is in the capital city Malé –‘Varunulaa
Raalhugandu’ the breaks are located on the southeast corner of the city. This is the main break in town,
which luckily, is one of the most consistent and powerful waves in Maldives. Really wedges at low, but the
waves get messed up at high by the massive coastal protection of tetrapods that line the beach.
Raalhugandu a reference of surf spot in Dhivehi, the local language.
Location – Male’
The pint-sized Maldivian capital is the throbbing, mercantile heart of the nation, a densely crowded and
fascinating place, notable mainly for its start contrast to the laid-back pace of island life elsewhere in the
country.
Male (mar-lay) offers the best chance to see the Maldives away from the resort buffet and infinity pool.
Overlooked by tall, brightly colored buildings and surrounded by incongruously turquoise water, Male is
a hive of activity, the engine driving Maldives’ economy.
Male is also pleasingly quirky – alcohol-free cafes and restaurants jostle with shops and lively markets and
the general capital-city hubbub is very much present. This island city may not have a huge number of
sights, but it offers a very real chance to get a feel for Maldives and to meet Maldivians.
Airport
Velana International Airport (Male’ International Airport) (IATA: MLE, ICAO: VRMM) is the main
international airport in the Maldives. It is located on Hulhule Island in the North Male Atoll, near the
capital island Male.
