Jail Break Surf Inn Himmafushi

Review by hotel critic

During my recent stay at Jail Break Surf Inn in Himmafushi, I was greeted with a refreshing sense of community and a surf-centric vibe that perfectly suited my traveling spirit. As someone who cherishes the blend of adventure and camaraderie, I found this charming establishment provided an excellent home base for both exhilarating surf sessions and relaxing evenings under the star-studded Maldivian sky. The rustic appeal of this converted Maldivian home created an inviting atmosphere where my friends and I quickly made ourselves at home. The staff, notably owner Amin, were exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable while sharing insightful recommendations on local surfing spots and culinary delights. The breakfast was a delightful start to our days, though perhaps some variety would elevate the experience further. What sets Jail Break apart is its perfect location—just a stone’s throw from some of the best surf breaks in the region and surrounded by stunning reefs teeming with marine life. The complimentary bicycles made it easy for us to explore the local island, and the boat transfers to nearby breaks were a real highlight. If you’re seeking a friendly, laid-back surf camp with a homey feel, Jail Break Surf Inn is a remarkable choice. Just remember, it’s not about luxury but the love of surf culture that unites us here.
