Summary
The Amba offers an unforgettable holiday away from mass tourism in a family atmosphere. Nicole and Franco, who have been working in the Maldives for more than 25 years, look after their guests on board almost all year round. The two are supported by a perfectly coordinated crew that has been working together in the same constellation for many years.
The Amba was completely renovated in 2016 and is updated every year during the summer months. The Amba offers a generous amount of interior and exterior space. In the upper deck there are 3 of 10 cabins, 7 more spacious cabins are located in the lower deck. You don't want to meet other surfers or have a surf spot all to yourself? Then you have come to the right place. There is a very large variety of species, so both our macro and big fish lovers get their money's worth.
The Amba offers surf tours from Male.
