Description

Kanuhura is in Lhaviyani Atoll. Kanuhura Maldives Beach Resort hotel is built on this island with two beautiful little island neighbors, surrounded by a turquoise lagoon.

The outer reef at Kanuhura drops down to more than 1200 meters below sea level, offering an immensely rich diversity of marine life. In just 10 to 60 minutes from Kanuhura guests can reach over 40 dive sites, among them two shipwrecks and a manta point.

Surf spot:"Sultans": Eastern reef of North Male’ Atoll: Perfect long left, which picks up more swell and is more consistent than any other break.
‘Macaroni Bowl’-a second tube section, which develops after the fast take off section, mellows out for a cutback. ‘Lockjaws’ - if you are game try out this very fast and shallow end section, which comes after the ‘Macaroni Bowl’. Rides are 75 to 100 yards long. Reserved for the exclusive use of the resort guests. (Strictly enforced by Tari Village Resort management)
Best winds; N, but can be surfed with NE-NW.
