A 6 Day / 6 Night luxury experience at the picturesque Kandooma Surf Resort

Picturesque white sand beaches and turquoise blue water, the Maldives is the definition of paradise. From snorkeling to to surfing to diving or SUP, we have the perfect retreat planned for you as you step into the essence of what pure luxury really is. Water lovers will be deeply fulfilled with all of the incredible water sports to enjoy! And when you need a little rest, you can rejuvenate in one of our complimentary lounges, enjoy nightly live music, and relax by the sea with a book without having to worry about a thing. We’ll take care of it all for you!

Our intention with our retreats is to help people step out of the day to day hustle and reconnect with nature and their own, true self. When you fully indulge in the opulence of the Maldives you have no choice but to slow down, look within and reclaim forgotten parts of yourself.

“We have today to learn to get back into accord with the wisdom of nature and realize again our brotherhood and sisterhood with the animals and with the water and the sea” – Joseph Campbell

Join Carly Forest, Krassi Harwell, Jaclyn Long and a talented team of snorkeling, scuba diving and surfing instructors on this picturesque island in the Maldives. Your facilitators will guide you through rich, meaningful experiences to boost mental wellness, cultivate emotional wholeness and promote overall wellbeing. Immersed in a pristine natural environment, you will be well-resourced and lovingly supported as you look within and cultivate tools to navigate the daily vicissitudes of life.

Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves gently lapping the white sand beach, and rolling out of bed into your sunrise meditation on the beach, followed by an invigorating vinyasa yoga class with Krassi. And that’s just the very beginning of your day! Mixed in with transformative personal growth experiences, you will have plenty of time to relax, get a massage at the spa, sit by the pool or float in the calm turquoise waters of the protected side of the island.

Water lovers will also have time to gratify the adventure-seeker in you! Whether you love to snorkel, scuba dive or surf (or want to learn how to do any of these!), this island on the Maldives is unique in that it affords you the opportunity to do all three! Enjoy complimentary snorkeling trips each morning after our sunrise yoga session. And for an extra fee, you can take tours to other snorkeling spots, get a scuba diving package, book a learn to surf package, schedule a surf tour to visit uncrowded surf breaks on neighboring islands (intermediate to advanced surfers only), and more!
