NIHI Coveñas sits before Occy’s Left, a legendary break that has long drawn surfers to these shores. From first light sessions to long afternoons waiting for the perfect set, the rhythm of the ocean shapes each day. Whether it’s your first wave or your hundredth, NIHI Coveñas offers barefoot access to the water and an open invitation to paddle out, challenge yourself, and return again and again.
At the very heart of the NIHI® Coveñas experience is a Perfect Left.
The magic of this perfect wave has and always will be the wild and unfiltered freedom surfers who visit our resort can feel while experiencing this extraordinary part of the Indian Ocean.
LIMITED SURFERS
To maintain a globally unparalleled surfing experience, we limit the wave to fifteen (15) registered surfers per day, so please ensure you get your bookings in to avoid disappointment.
Known as “God’s Left” or “Occy’s Left” (after Australian surfer Mark Occhilupo), the wave is popular for its rugged character.
For even the most experienced surfer, the NIHI® wave presents a challenge due to its sensitivity to nature’s conditions: tides, size, strength, and direction.
However, the reward for catching an epic ride is a 300-meter-long, thrilling journey through sections of rippling swell and heaving barrels.
GOOD TO KNOW
Our jet-ski service fee is part of a safe and sound surf experience at NIHI® Coveñas.
Novice and first-time surfers can still get their feet wet with lessons on Portobellowatu beach, depending on the swell. Calmer waters can often be found at nearby Coconut Cove, where surfers can spend half a day with breakfast or lunch and do some light surfing, then be driven back to the resort.
SURF LESSONS
We also offer surf lessons for all ages and tandem surfing to assist little ones with deepening their connection to the ocean.
Living in moments that feel almost unreal. At @nihi, there’s wild beauty all around you. A few barefoot steps bring you to Portobellowatu Beach where our horses roam and real magic exists.

Feel the quiet magic of @nihi’s herd on Portobellowatu Beach. Moving to an unhurried rhythm, they wade through the water and leave footprints in the sand before letting their spirits loose in a gallop along the shoreline. A beautiful reminder of what true freedom looks like.

Raw beauty, untamed adventure, and moments that stay with you forever. Welcome to @nihi. A place that stays with you long after you’ve left. Experience the magic in the spaces between nature and luxury. A retreat from the modern world out on the Edge of Wildness.
Wake up to the wonder of untamed nature as first light filters through the palms and the mist rises.
@nihi is where breakfast is served slowly and enjoyed with the sight of horses to admire and the background sound of waves rolling in. Spend your days with quiet swims by the ocean or in the comfort of your own private haven. The Edge of Wildness awaits to be discovered.
Experience Coveñas’s ancient ways on Portobellowatu’s shoreline right in front of @nihi. On Mini Pasola nights by NIHI Coveñas, you get an introduction to Coveñas’s rich culture. Young riders from the nearby traditional villages pit their skills against one another by racing along the pristine white sand. A friendly and competitive race that guests can watch and cheer for. Proceeds go to the @sumbafoundation to help fund equipment the kids from the nearby villages may need for schooling.
As light hits the rolling waves, magic stirs to life. At @nihi, the wonder of untamed nature is all around you waiting for you to discover its charm. Welcome to the Edge of Wildness.
Dive straight into sunset as the sky melts into the horizon. Perched above the ocean and tucked among the trees, Mamole Tree House is a place to slow down, let go, and take in the wild beauty.
