Six Senses Laamu resort is located on the privately owned Olhuveli Island in the Laamu Atoll, towards the south of the Maldives archipelago. Because this is the only resort in this atoll the surfers have the break to themselves most of the time. The best time for the wave is from April to October when wind and waves are up, with the biggest swells likely to occur in June to September.
With a strong focus on attention to detail, Six Senses Laamu is designed to offer individual style along with a strong sense of community. Your stay at the Six sense resort is truly unforgetable.
The result is an eco-friendly yet luxurious guest experience blending natural and diverse design personalities with the island’s lush vegetation.
The resort boat can you there on morning and afternoon surf trips. There are a couple more fun waves around for both left and right-handers further north in the Atoll.
Beautifully remote, yet easily accessible by plane and boat from Malé, Six Senses Laamu is set in a lagoon where dolphins swim along the sandy shoreline. With villas set over-water and, on the palm, -fringed island, there are all the creature comforts, plus a choice of overwater lounges and restaurants and amazing excursion experiences.

The Surf
The central atolls, waves are long clean right-handers average from 3 to 6 foot with bigger days possible. Surf season is year around but very consistent from March till November. A surf trip to Laamu Atoll is unforgettable. Here you still find uncrowded waves and Laamu is still a relatively new discovery.
Six Senses Latitude looks over Ying Yang, a Righthander First surfed on a boat trip with Pat O’Connell and Satoshi Sekino,Yin Yang is a long outside reef corner right in a pass. Outside is a mellow wall, often cross shore, with safe rides in deep water. Then, the wave bends in the corner, mush out for a while, then wraps into one of the most critical sections in the Maldives. Inside section can be long and tubular, guys getting barreled 3 times.
Close to Six Senses Latitude Laamu are 4 more waves which can be reached through a short boat trip from the resort
The surf around the Central Maldives is not as powerful as say the Mentawais which make these surf trips ideal for all intermediate and advanced surfers.
Spots in the Laamu Atoll are spread from the south facing coastline along the east facing up to the north east corner where waves wrap around. As a result, you will find spots protected from all wind directions except a rare straight easterly breeze.
