Maqai Eco Surf Resort

Surf breaks. Sand floors. No fake frills.

Let’s not sugarcoat it—Maqai Eco Surf Resort is raw, real, and ridiculously good fun. Perched right on a private stretch of white sand on Qamea Island, it’s as close to nature as you can sleep without ziplining into a coconut tree. No big brands, no bland food, no plastic-wrapped “luxury.” Just barefoot days, reef breaks out front, and a hammock with your name on it.

This is where surfers, divers, and wild-at-heart wanderers come to drop off the map—in the best way. The main surf break? Steps from your bure. And you won’t be dodging crowds here—it’s uncrowded, unpretentious, and often just you and a few stoked souls in the lineup. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or stoked to learn, Maqai offers guided surf trips and lessons with local crew who know these waves like their backyard (because it is).

The resort itself? Built by hand. Powered by solar. And run with a whole lot of heart. Bures are simple and breezy, with thatched roofs, comfy beds, and sand floors that remind you you're somewhere real. No air-con, no tiles, no TikTokers doing poolside selfies. Just the sound of the surf, a mosquito net, and a cold drink after a day on the water.

Maqai isn’t polished. It’s powerful. It’s not curated for Instagram—it’s designed for experience. For people who want to surf, snorkel, slow down, and reconnect with what actually matters.

One reef. One wave. One unforgettable escape. Maqai is calling. Don’t overthink it. Just go.

Food is another high point. Think line-caught fish, farm veggies, island-style curries, and woodfired bread you’ll dream about later. Set menus change daily and dietary needs aren’t an afterthought—they’re respected. Meals are eaten communally, stories are swapped, and the vibe is “family dinner with epic ocean views.”
