A Ride Through: Kuda Villingili

Situated in the North Malé Atoll, Kuda Villingili stands out as a luxury resort with a strong foundation in active experiences and high-performance travel. Just a short paddle from the island lies Chicken’s Break, one of the most celebrated surf spots in the Maldives. Known for its long, left-hand reef break and clean barrels, Chicken’s offers an exceptional ride for intermediate to advanced surfers, particularly during the surf season from late March to mid-October.

While surfing is a major draw, Kuda Villingili offers a broader landscape for guests who value movement, wellness, and sport. The resort features the largest pool in the Maldives, including a 50-meter Olympic-sized lane, a state-of-the-art gym, floodlit tennis courts, and a padel court. The surrounding lagoon creates ideal conditions for activities like jet skiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing, snorkeling, and diving, all managed through the resort’s in-house watersports and dive team, MSTS.

Beyond individual sessions, guests can join guided excursions or group fitness classes like the Beach Boot Camp. The resort also hosts themed events such as Global Wellness Day and has collaborated with organizations like The Wave Project to run holistic retreats that emphasize the connection between sport, wellness, and mental health.
