SURF MORE IN 2024! Early Bird Deals Out Now
Beautifully remote in the Central Atolls and accessed by domestic flight and speedboat transfer, Six Senses in Laamu Atoll is set in a palm-fringed lagoon to fill you with wonder and fuel your wanderlust. Villas with all the creature comforts are set either on stilts over the water or on the beachfront and are an easy wander from the resort’s restaurants, lounges, and amazing Maldives attractions and destinations. The island has such outstanding natural beauty, powder white sand, lush tropical vegetation and crystal clear waters. But best of all you have famous, Ying Yangs surf break straight across the channel and access to another four quality waves in the atoll for all levels of surfers.
What we love
Ying Yangs, one of the most consistent spots in the area that has a long inside section and can produces some incredibly hollow barrels.
Six Senses Laamu is eco-friendly yet luxurious in every way
Six Senses Laamu’s bars and restaurants are mostly set over water. An al fresco ice cream parlour and chilled chocolate studio are the go-to for ‘kids’ of all ages.
Surf season from April to October, peaking in June to September period
What you love
My wife and I were absolutely speechless with our trip to Six Senses Laamu
Sylv worked really hard to get us booked at late notice and her recommendation was spot on. I hate flying but all the connections, transfers and timings made it a comfortable and easy trip. The location, facilities, activities, staff and food were amazing. The overwater villas were stunning and so comfortable. You didn’t need to leave them. The overall experience couldn’t have been any better in my opinion it was heaven. I had a lot of fun surfing and the guys at Tropic Surf were great arranging the daily boat trips to Ying Yangs break. The snorkeling at the house reef off the main buildings and sea grass between the jetties was amazing with so much sea life out the front with a daily show of spinner dolphins going past at breakfast. It was so relaxing and peaceful and being spread out we didn’t see anyone at times.
Best holiday yet
Sylvia firstly took the time to listen and understand what we were looking for from this trip.
This was key as her suggestions and recommendations were spot on. Also, Sylvia’s product knowledge of the area was outstanding, it definitely made it a lot easier for us to make an informed decision on where to stay. Itinerary wise the stopover in Singapore on the way over to the Maldives was a perfect way to kick off the trip. I must also commend Sylvia on her communication, it was always timely and answered all our questions.
Holiday of a lifetime!
I can not praise and thank Sylvia Hammond enough! We have travelled a lot and had stopped using travel agents as we had found we did a better job ourselves until my husband contacted Perfect Wave to get advice on a surfing holiday.
From our first call with Sylvia to the last, she went above and beyond. We had some challenges with cancelled flights, missing connecting ones and missing a couple of nights at the amazing Six Senses Resort. However Sylvia took all the stress away and even worked out of hours to ensure all our stresses were alleviated and that we didn’t miss a day enjoying our time at the resort.
We are so grateful for her holiday recommendation and making us feel like our holiday was just as important as every other of her clients.
Our time at Six Senses will definitely not be forgotten any time soon!!
Six Senses
Just want to thank you so very much for the Six Senses recommendation. We loved every moment, it was all perfect!
Six Senses Laamu was fantastic, everything perfect from the moment we arrived in Male.
Such a beautiful place – relaxing from the moment we got to our villa. The surf was super fun and the surf guide crew so professional. We had such a great time.
Six Senses Laamu
6 Senses was amazing, beautiful island, amazing resort & villas & incredible food. we loved it!
Yes I got some waves at the Jetty C, and made it out on the boat to Yin Yangs on one day which was pretty epic.
Thanks for your help with organizing!
Six Senses Laamu was a such a stellar resort and the dream location for our honeymoon.
The bookings and confirmations went very smooth and they offered everything as advertised starting with exceptional service and facilities; in fact, we really appreciated that we were greeted upon arrival by name with our GEM and surf guides recognizing us by face and already having insight into some of the activities and accommodation we maybe interested in (surfing, snorkeling, yoga). The huts over the water were amazing and better than we could have hoped for and the staff took excellent care to make us comfortable and relaxed! Would recommend to anyone!
We are here in the Maldives and it is seriously INCREDIBLE!!
Thank you soo much – we love it!! Thanks again for everything you did with helping us book this trip! We’ve never come across a travel agent who goes to some much effort to really make the experience unforgettable with lots of details.

Surfing
Generally, the Maldives are exposed to the same swell as Indonesia with surf season being from April to October, peaking in June to September period, the time of South-West monsoon. The Laamu Atoll and Huvadhoo Atoll are separated by the One and a Half Degree Channel. As there is not much land mass to the south of these Atolls, swells generated by the Roaring Forties (a weather phenomena created in the far south of the Indian Ocean) hit the islands of these Atolls, creating the best waves in the country. The Six Senses Laamu house reef frequently offers a couple of quick, rippable lefts which are a short, convenient paddle from the resort beach. Across the channel and within view of the resort, Yin Yangs can deliver one of the most powerful and perfect right-hand barrels in the country.
