The Setup: Think of a place to stay - as a surfer - in your wildest dreams. Some smaller lefts and right reef breaks a short boat ride away. In other words, a world-class, hollow lefthander for experienced surfers, with mellower lefts over reef nearby. The Surf: Well, a little old lefthander called Cloudbreak is right there. Apparently, they’re the warmest, raddest people on the planet. Beyond the amenities and surf guides and renowned pool/beachside bar and restaurant, the reputation that often precedes the place belongs to the local Fijian people that work on Tavarua. While not particularly hard to book in advance now, Tavarua - and the resort itself - has only gotten better with updates to its various gorgeous suites, villas and bungalows.
The Setup: Perhaps THE original luxury surf lodge in the world, a chance to stay at the often-years-in-advanced-booked resort on the heart-shaped island of Tavarua was like winning a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. You can take a speedboat to a number of breaks close by too within 5-30 minutes. Mostly for advanced and intermediate surfers, with other sand-bottomed options for beginners in the area. Reserved exclusively for guests at Nihi, no more than 9 people can surf the wave at a time. The Surf: God’s Left aka Occy’s Left is the long, hollow, lefthand reefbreak directly out front. And the world’s best hotel just happens to be in front of a perfect left? A goofyfooter must have been behind it all along. Literally voted “The Best Hotel in the World,” Nihi offers 28 exquisitely designed villas, each with a private pool, ocean views, world-class dining experiences, spa and yoga rooms, and land and sea adventure itineraries. Known for its megalithic horseriding culture, Sumba somehow manages to stay off the radar, and the luxury resort of Nihi has been there for years now. Normally, that phrase is exaggerated, or has already aged…but not on the island of Sumba. The Setup: The saying, “Like Bali 30 years ago” gets tossed around in Indonesia a lot when referring to a place relatively unfamiliar with tourism. Perhaps it’s time you took the plunge and say I do. The following are six very special locations around the world that marry beachfront luxury with world-class surf in happy, holy matrimony. A budget that can afford well beyond a Four Seasons stay. Indeed, there are options for the discerning surfer (or family of surfers) whose budget is not woven of shoestring. Luckily, since then, supply has certainly grown. Over the relatively short history of surf travel, surfers have often gotten the rap of perpetually “roughing it.” Of ending up in far corners of the earth in search of waves and literally sleeping in their board bag along the way.īut a lot of that was merely an issue of supply and demand.
