Muli's surf breaks two ways, inside fast barreling with long walls and hollow. The outside is with long walls and an easy exit on the corner.  

Muli is proud of its white sandy beaches, turquoise blue lagoon and a house reef rich in marine flora and fauna. Visitors who prefer a relaxing holiday can choose to spend their time on the white sandy beaches and enjoy the salt water breeze, or take a swim in the blue lagoon to experience the warmth of Maldivian waters.  

Muli is one of the few islands in the Maldives where tortoise is found. Take an adventure through woods to locate the tortoises there. Interestingly the entire population of Muli gives their highest priority to protect the tortoises due to its rareness in the Maldives.
