OMG – the surf’s pumping as Xavier’s sunset show at Surfers Point Kandooma kicks off.
Around 100 or so devoted Xavier Rudd fans followed the sun to the Maldives from August 29 to September 3, 2022 to take in 3 very special, intimate and exclusive shows in paradise.
Xavier himself said,
“This was special! A powerful week of connection, family and a celebration of the trials and tribulations of every day life on everyone’s different journeys.. thanks to all of those who can and shared and made it what it was.”

Just Superb
Wow! How can you not have fun? This was an amazing time for us, we had such a great time enjoying the music and the atmosphere! What a beautiful setting to enjoy Xavier Rudd and he played so well. It was a treasure to experience his music at Kandooma. Lifetime highlight!
Unforgettable Xavier Rudd concerts and surf trip
The Xavier Rudd trip was such a fun well organised event. Xavier was an absolute legend who personally made time for all the guests and did some really awesome, professional and intimate shows. Kandooma was beautiful, we got some great surf at Kandooma right and taken to some fun breaks with the surf charters and there really were breaks for all levels. We did some pretty awesome snorkelling with turtles, sharks and stingrays, a sunset fishing cruise where they cook up what you catch. The food was pretty special with heaps of food types to choose from and a couple of restaurants, especially the seafood night! And the buffet brekkie was beyond amazing. The crew at the Perfect Wave looked after everything and we on the island helping with the surf trips, repairing my board and organising the concerts. I really can’t fault it we had a fabulous time.
Incredible
This was the perfect holiday.
Surf was fantastic, music amazing, food, service and accomodation all 10/10.
Very well run and organised.
Would not hesitate to go again for the right musician.
Trip of a lifetime!
This was hands down THE most magical week spent with family & close friends. Everything was perfectly organised, the staff were total legends and the three Xavier Rudd concerts blew us away. We will definitely be booking another MIP trip with The Perfect Wave again. Thanks for the memories!
This was an amazing holiday
Xavier Rudd performed 3 great shows, 2 in front of Kandooma Right, which was a spectacular venue for a show. Great, uncrowded waves every day. TPW staff were amazing, keen to ensure you have the best time. I’m going back for sure!!
Excellence!
Just the best time listening to great music, eating delicious food and enjoying the beautiful nature that is the Maldives! Couldn’t get much better than this!
Thank you!
Home safe after another wonderful trip.
Looking forward to going again, hopefully next year.
In the meantime, here’s some epic images and clips from this year’s amazing week to inspire you to join us next year.

This incredible beach venue at Surfers Point has only one dress code – comfort with a capital C. The only other pre-requisite is chill out and have some fun. Sit back, as Xavier’s music, message, and the environment around him comes together in stunning synchronicity.
