Maldives, Waves & Glory: The 13th Four Seasons Surfing Champions Trophy Is Back

Where Luxury Meets Lineups — September 4–11, 2025

Postcard-perfect waves. A $25,000 prize purse. And a week of barefoot brilliance on the Indian Ocean. This September, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa once again becomes the epicentre of high-style surf culture with the return of the 13th Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy — the world's most luxurious surf event.

A Surf Playground Like No Other

The Maldives has long held mythical status among surfers — with its warm water, uncrowded breaks, and cinematic barrels. At Four Seasons Kuda Huraa, beginners can build their skills in the lagoon under expert guidance, while seasoned surfers chase glassy reef waves at hotspots like Sultans. For those seeking exceptional Maldives vacation experiences, this combination of world-class waves and luxury hospitality creates an unmatched surfing paradise.

The Champions Return: 2025 Line-Up Begins to Unfold

Already confirmed for this year's showdown:

• Craig Anderson (Australia): Free-surfing icon with velvet-smooth style
• Jesse Mendes (Brazil): Known for power, precision, and podium finishes

With USD 25,000 and a permanent spot in the Champions Trophy Hall of Fame up for grabs, the waves won't be the only things heating up.

"The event looks insanely fun," says Anderson.

"I've only been to the Maldives once—on my honeymoon—so I'm beyond stoked. Alternate boards in perfect waves? Can't wait!"

Beyond the Waves: A Luxurious Island Immersion

• Lagoon-based coaching for all levels
• The Island Spa, accessible via traditional dhoni, where signature rituals like the Islander Massage rejuvenate body and soul
• World-class dining, barefoot beach dinners, and the charm of Kuda Huraa's garden island setting

Whether watching legends carve waves or indulging in restorative treatments post-surf, this is surfing reimagined — in pure Four Seasons style. For those exploring unparalleled luxury at Four Seasons Maldives properties, Kuda Huraa represents the perfect fusion of adventure and indulgence.

The resort also continues its commitment to sustainability through initiatives like the Project 100 Coconut Tree program, demonstrating how luxury hospitality can contribute to environmental conservation while delivering world-class experiences.
