Discover the surf

LowPressure Stormrider Surf Guide says

The Maldives are 26 flat coral atolls ringed with 1,200 islands, only a few of which are known for the quality of their surf. With an Indian Ocean swell window from direct E through S to W, Laamu atoll and Thaa atoll are newly discovered central atoll surf zones with many high-quality reef pass setups. These two atolls alone present 150 islands and almost 650km (400mi) of coastline to the frequent swell. The central atolls of the Maldives enjoy an abundance of medium-sized, perfect reefbreaks, the majority of which are righthanders. A settled and peaceful area of sparse population, access to the majority of these waves is by charter boat alone, despite planned resorts. Unlike other island chains, the expense and low number of boats in this area of the Maldives keeps crowds low. With waves such as Mikado and Yin Yang known for their pristine barrels, under the right conditions the central atolls are tropical perfection.

Condition descriptions provided by the operator

General Condition:

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. It doesn’t get much better then this! As a destination for surfing Six Senses Laamu has everything a surfer’s heart desires – perfect waves, crystal clear water and plenty of reefs all in a tropical setting. Already from the resort you can see the impressive white spray of the “Yin Yang” the most famous break in this Atoll. There are a couple more fun waves around both left and right handers. Our experienced surf guides will take you there on half day and fullday trips. And as we are the only resort in this Atoll our surfers have the breaks to themselves most of the time.

 

Seasons:

Generally the Maldives rely on the same swell as Indonesia with the best and most consistent swells coming from April to October, peaking from June to September the time of the South-West monsoon. The waves will normally range from 4-8 feet, with occasionally bigger days. February and March, considered the early part of the season will see fun surf and more stable weather but swells will vary, arriving in the small to medium size range. The same holds true for November when the season is coming to a close. The Laamu Atoll (Hadhumathi) and Huvadhu 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.

 

Spot Decriptions of Six Senses

 

 

"Ying Yang" Righthander - 5 min by speedboat from resort

First surfed by Callahans 1996 boat trip with Pat O'Connell and Satoshi Sekino, Yin Yang got epic during Oxbow seaplane trip in June 2004. Yin Yang is a long and typical outside -typical 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 but it can be fairly heavy too on pretty uneven reef, producing potential intimidating barrels on the first bend.

 

"Six Senses Left" Lefthander - 3 min by paddling

In big swells there is a left directly on the west side of the resort. Depending on tides, swell size and winds it can be anything from small beginner wave to playful or fast long walls.

 

"Six Senses Right" Righthander - 10 min by speedboat or 10 minutes by paddling

On the south side of the island you will find some mushy right hander. This wave is quite inconsistent but popular for beginners or intermediates on higher tides. You can either paddle there from the Ocean Villa jetties or beach. Or the speedboat can go around the island to this area.

 

"Six Senses Banks" - 2 min by speedboat

Between the resort and Hithadhoo island is a coral bank with an A-Frame. This breaks needs a big swell and no wind. The left tends to be better and can deliver a fun and steep take off plus playful aerial end section.

 

"Gadhoo" - Lefthander - 15 min by speedboat

Rarely surfed as it is exposed to dominant wind directions. But with easterly or no winds worth to be checked out. It has different characters from beach break type of wave to fast perfect left handers further around the corner. A swell magnet!

 

 

"Refugee’s Right" Righthander - 40 by speedboat

Fast and shallow take off. Barelling, spitting, perfect wave. Only for those who can handle the speed! Quite dangerous wave. Tsunamis usually works better.

 

"Refugee’s Left" Lefthander - 40 min by speedboat

Heavy left that tends to close out. Picks up a lot of swell.

 

“Tsunamis” Righthander - 45min by speedboat

When it is on it is on! When the swell is big this wave is just perfect. It has three parts to it. The outside, corner and the inside. All three parts are connecting when the swell is right and make the wave tons of fun. Usually you take of at the outside. The reef is pretty straight here and you can pull into the barrel just after take off. When you are fast enough you get to the corner where waves are a bit more mellow and give you a little break to do performance turns. Stay on from there to the inside and you will get another long and heavy barrel section. Unfortunately this waves is always smaller than Ying Yang and has its flat spells. Also currents can get very heavy to make this impossible to surf.

 

"Opposite Tsunamis" Lefthander - 45min by speedboat

This break picks up probably the most swell of all east facing spots in the Laamu atoll. As the reef is quite straight it tends to close out though. When Tsunamis is too small this left can be fun though. It is well protected from westerly to northerly winds.

 

"Langon Bank" Righthander - 60 min by speedboat

which needs large easterly swell but very well protected from southerly winds. This spot is rarely surfed due to a lack of anchorage. Surf charters stop by on the way to the south.

What awaits you

Eco-friendly, 5++ star resort, located in the Laamu atoll

Discerning surf travelers fantasizing about a turquoise coloured, Indian Ocean paradise free of crowds are going to love the ultimate luxury of the Six Senses resort. Here, beauty and tranquility are all part of the package. With creative use of wood and glass for construction, this eco-friendly, 5++ star resort, located in the Laamu atoll, has been purposely designed to blend in with and complement the island's natural beauty. What's more, you are on the doorstep of the challenging Yin Yang reef break – arguably one of the most famous waves in all of the Central Atolls and widely recognized as the most consistent in the area.

Beachfront or lagoon-side locations during your holiday

Your beautifully designed accommodation choices here are all of the stylish villa variety, all constructed using sustainable wood sources. Each offers either beachfront or lagoon-side locations, privacy and a range of amenities so diverse you would be hard pushed to use them all during your holiday.

As a guest at Six Senses you will have a choice of between 2 to 4 different breaks depending on the conditions. The closest is the high quality right-handed coral reef break of Yin Yang - offshore but close enough to be seen from your resort and just a 4 minute ride away in a speedboat.

Advanced surfers will be in heaven, inside pristine barrels

Versatility is the surfing watch word around here – advanced surfers will be in heaven holding their line inside pristine barrels while less experienced surfers have their options too. Even SUP is possible. Everyone gets to play in fact. Transfers from resort to break have proven to be highly flexible, with your requirements as the client being the main priority.

Of course, with all this ultimate luxury, the rates here are higher than in a standard Maldives resort but then this is no average place. There are some great specials for families on offer here and this awesome place will leave you feeling that you are getting even more than you have paid for.

What more can we say - if you have been dreaming of some tropical luxury for your next surf trip you might well have found the ideal fit.

Sustainability in Laamu

Located in a privileged position on the only atoll-designated Hope Spot in the heart of the Maldives and surrounded by six Marine Protected Areas, sustainability is at the heart of our decisions and actions. Our responsible and sustainable practices ensure the enjoyment of Laamu’s unique environment and culture for generations to come. Experience cutting-edge marine conservation in the Sea Hub of Environmental Learning in Laamu (SHELL), and learn more about our local marine life on a guided snorkel tour. Take part in our sustainability initiatives, explore what self-sufficiency looks like in our Earth Lab, and connect with the Maldives rich history and culture on a local island excursion.

Environmental Responsibility

The award-winning Maldives Underwater Initiative (MUI) is a collaboration between resort marine biologists and three ecological partners, the Manta Trust, Blue Marine Foundation, and Olive Ridley Project. MUI supports meaningful marine conservation through research, guest education, and community engagement, with the aim of protecting Laamu’s natural resources.

At the heart of this important work is the Sea Hub of Environmental Learning in Laamu (SHELL) — our marine science research and education center, dedicated to immersive marine conservation experiences for guests, visitors, and the local community.

Coral reefs

Coral reefs support 25 percent of global marine life but cover less than 0.1 percent of the ocean. These vital organisms are vulnerable to many threats. We regularly monitor the health of our reefs through scientific surveys that are submitted to national databases for conservation contributions. We also support our reefs through coral larval and fragmentation restoration efforts, collaborating with local and international organizations. At SHELL, we have the capacity to grow 10,000 baby corals, and to date, we have released almost 3 million larvae onto our house reef.

Seagrass

Not only is seagrass incredibly beautiful, it is also an extremely important marine habitat, providing a safe haven for numerous underwater creatures and species. In partnership with Blue Marine Foundation, we have protected our 335,024 square meters (47 soccer fields!) of seagrass meadows since 2018. We campaign to raise awareness and advocate for other resorts to join our efforts, as many resorts in the Maldives actively remove seagrass. As our thriving meadows have grown, we have counted a huge increase (almost double) in encounters with turtles, sharks, and rays.

Manta rays

The Manta Trust is a registered charity on a mission to conserve mobulid rays and their habitats through research, education, and collaboration. Since 2014, the Manta Trust has worked in partnership with us to study the local manta ray population. In addition, they educate guests and the local community about the importance and vulnerability of manta rays.

Just a 10-minute boat ride from Six Senses Laamu and 20-meters below the surface is Hithadhoo Corner, a popular gathering spot for our resident reef manta rays, where we conduct research using state-of-the-art technologies.

Sea turtles

The Olive Ridley Project protects sea turtles and their habitats through rescue and rehabilitation, scientific research, and education. Since 2018, Laamu's turtles have been safeguarded via a wide range of projects, including studying the local turtle populations through photo-ID, monitoring turtle nests at Six Senses Laamu and its neighboring islands, and collecting data on ghost nets found in and around the atoll. Collaborating with multiple organizations and stakeholders, the Olive Ridley Project developed the country’s first, hugely successful community-based sea turtle conservation project.

Sea Hub of Environmental Learning in Laamu (SHELL)

The Sea Hub of Environmental Learning in Laamu (SHELL) is a multi-use space, designed for education and immersive marine conservation experiences. It is also home to our Maldives Underwater Initiative (MUI). It features a central exhibition space which invites you to explore the colorful and vibrant local marine life during out-of-the-ordinary encounters, in addition to offices, a marine laboratory, cinema room, and kids’ zone. Virtual and augmented reality technologies and conservation art, further enhance the space, with the goal of bringing you a fully immersive experience. The central gallery, also called the Tank, boasts a high-resolution LED display floor and five educational viewing booths for kids and adults. It features diverse underwater scenes of the Laamu atoll to get up close and personal to selected micro-topics about marine life. Come to the SHELL for hands-on activities and to see how we manage our resources sustainably and carefully in Laamu.

Social Responsibility

We are in Laamu to leave a legacy; we are committed to leaving this beautiful and unique part of the world better than how we found it. We achieve this through having a positive impact on the local community and giving back where help is most needed.

Sustainable fisheries

We work with the small-scale artisanal fishers of Laamu Atoll to ensure that the local reef fish we source is caught in an equitable and sustainable way, with minimal ecological impact on the marine environment.
Laamaseelu Masveriya, which means ‘Exemplary Fisher’ in Dhivehi, is implemented by our partner NGO Blue Marine Foundation and its affiliated local NGO, Maldives Resilient Reefs. The program provides a sustainable local reef fish market, where fishers are no longer the issue to overfishing, but central to the solution.

Hello Hallu Education Program

The Hello Hallu program, which means ‘Hello Solution’ in Dhivehi, educates school students about the environmental issues facing their communities and encourages them to create solutions to tackle problems and minimize negative impacts. Since the program launched, 944 local students have participated in the program, and in 2024 we were able to develop the program further by inviting 180 students into SHELL for hands on lessons.

Plastic free Laamu Atoll

Plastic pollution is a global issue that requires local solutions. We focus on the three most important R’s: Refuse, Reduce, and Repurpose. First step, we avoid bringing plastic into the Atoll via our supplier engagement program which replaces plastics with biodegradable packaging, including plastic-free guest amenities. Additionally, we grow our own microgreens, herbs, and mushrooms, make sauces and condiments from scratch, custom-make our own sodas, and craft chocolate from bean to bar.

These terms and conditions govern the use of the entire LUEX offerings, also in particular the booking of trips, travel components and services. LUEX reserves the right to make provision for supplementary terms and conditions for certain travel-related offerings or destinations. As LUEX acts only as an intermediary, the specific and general terms and conditions of any third party offering a product or service shall also apply additionally. In the event of conflicting conditions, the general terms and conditions of LUEX shall apply preferentially.

The parties to the legal relations shall be designated as "Travellers", with a person who also makes a booking for one or more Travellers designated as a "Group leader". The member of a tour group shall also be designated as a "Group member".

2. Website

The website constitutes the fundamental information that LUEX provides to Travellers. The offers, representations, data, software, images, illustrations and information are subject to copyright in virtually their entirety. To the extent that the design, photos, selection and manner of composition and preparation have been prepared by LUEX, the rights are held exclusively by LUEX. Large quantities of information, offers and images are delivered by third parties, in particular also by Service providers. This content is also legally protected by copyright, trademark and competition law and may not be copied, transmitted or used in any manner other than within the scope of the website without the prior express written authorisation of LUEX or the rights holder, if applicable.

LUEX shall make every effort to update information and prices at all times. Nevertheless, there may be differences due to the volume of data, information and parameters. Prices and specifications can be found based on the individually prepared offering. The booking confirmation and the price calculated for the Traveller are definitive.

LUEX is unable to monitor or check all information provided, especially links to other websites. LUEX is unable to maintain and update this content. In this respect, LUEX is unable to assume any responsibility.

 

3. Intermediary services

LUEX facilitates the provision of travel-related products and services by Service providers in the form of travel modules and services. LUEX is not a tour operator and does not deliver, own or control any of the travel-related products and services on offer. The travel-related products and services are delivered directly by the Service provider. The offerings provided by LUEX are intended for natural persons. In this context, the Traveller / Group leader making the booking must be at least 18 years of age. A Group leader aged 18 years or over must book for under-age travel companions. The offerings are primarily intended for Travellers from Germany. In utilising this offering, the Group leader making the booking promises that they are authorised to act on behalf of their travel companions, in particular to arrange travel-related services and to conclude contractual arrangements in the name of the Travellers. The Group leader is liable to LUEX as the joint and several debtor in addition to the individual Travellers for the payment of the travel-related products and services booked. Legally binding declarations received by the Group leader are deemed to have been received by all Travellers in the tour group.

 

4. Bookings

To the extent that no further commitment periods have been agreed, the following shall apply: By filling in the booking templates and confirming the booking procedure, the Traveller/Group leader commissions LUEX to finalise the intermediated procurement with the Service provider. A confirmation of receipt from LUEX with respect to an order immediately after the Traveller/Group leader has transmitted the data does not constitute a binding confirmation of the intermediated travel-related products and services.

Immediately upon receipt of the booking, LUEX shall assess the availability of all the booked products and services from the Service provider/s. Following this assessment, the Traveller/Group leader shall be issued a booking confirmation. The Traveller/Group leader is obliged to check this confirmation carefully immediately upon receipt. If information appearing on the confirmation or in another document is incorrect or incomplete, the Traveller/Group leader is obliged to inform LUEX immediately - in text form if possible. Alterations at a later point in time can only be considered if LUEX could reasonably be expected to make such changes. Unreasonable alterations are such changes in particular that involve additional costs for LUEX, unless the Traveller/Group leader reimburses these costs.

A binding agreement between the Traveller and the respective Service provider shall only eventuate when the binding booking confirmation has been transmitted to the Traveller/Group leader; the automatic LUEX confirmation of receipt is not a booking confirmation.

The following applies when a Group leader makes a booking for several Travellers: With their booking, the Group leader confirms that they are permitted to legally represent the group members (Travellers) and that the Group leader is permitted to make and receive declarations on behalf of the group members. If travel vouchers are dispatched, they shall be sent solely to the Group leader for the whole tour group. Payments shall be processed exclusively through the Group leader with debt discharging effect.

The contractual obligation of LUEX is limited to the proper intermediation of the booked travel-related products and services. The contractual obligations of LUEX do not include the delivery of the booked product or service.

 

5. Payments, cancellation charges

LUEX is entitled to demand payment of deposits and outstanding amounts in accordance with the general terms and conditions as well as the terms and conditions of payment of the Service provider of the mediated product or service. Payment shall be collected as instructed by the respective Service provider. It is possible that the method of payment accepted by the Service provider may differ from the standard modes of payment used by LUEX or in Germany generally. The details are to be found in each of the offerings respectively. To the extent that nothing to the contrary has been agreed, the following shall apply:

Following receipt of the payment request, payment of the deposit indicated on the payment request is to be made in a single payment within one week by means of the payment method indicated. The deposit shall be at least 25% of the total price of the travel-related products or services that have been booked. The outstanding amount for the travel-related products or services is to be paid no later than 30 days prior to the commencement of travel as a single payment by means of the payment method indicated without any further request for payment. In the case of tour groups, the Group leader is responsible for ensuring consistent payment processing. The total price of a tour booked at short notice (within 30 days of tour commencement) is due immediately.

If due payments are not made or not made in full and the Traveller/Group leader does not pay after a reminder with a final due date, LUEX or the Service provider are able to withdraw from the particular agreement, unless LUEX or the Service provider is already responsible for a significant flaw, failing or shortcoming at this time. If the Traveller is responsible for the cancellation, LUEX or the Service provider can demand compensation in accordance with the agreed fixed rates for compensation. If nothing else has been stipulated within the offer/travel confirmation, the fixed rate in the event of the Traveller cancelling more than 30 days prior to departure is 25% of the price of the tour. The Traveller/Group leader is entitled to provide evidence of lower costs or costs that did not eventuate, while LUEX is free to calculate and demonstrate substantially higher costs.

LUEX assumes no currency risks. In order to minimise currency risks, LUEX shall exchange the travel payments received into the target currency of the country of the respective Service provider as soon as possible after receipt of payment. In the event of major currency fluctuations, the Traveller/Group leader shall indemnify LUEX against any proven currency exchange losses. Reimbursements shall be made solely by means of bank transfers in the currency of the recipient. Bank fees and charges shall be borne by the Traveller/Group leader.

If the Traveller/Group leader pays by bank transfer, LUEX can only facilitate a smooth booking process if the Traveller/Group leader uses the designated booking ID in the purpose field of the bank transfer which is specified in the request for payment. Otherwise LUEX may not be able to assign the payment to the correct booking. A failure to do that correctly can result in the cancellation of a trip in the worst-case scenario.

If the Traveller wishes to book not as a private individual, but as a business traveller acting on instructions or as a legal representative, this must be noted already during the booking process and cannot be subsequently altered. This can have taxation consequences and should therefore be carefully considered.

The customer shall receive a payment receipt in the form of a booking confirmation from LUEX showing the total price, either paid or to be paid to the Service provider.

 

6. Alterations, cancellations, reimbursements

In the event that a confirmed booking is modified or cancelled, LUEX is to be contacted as quickly as possible in this matter such that a possible solution can be sought in consultation with the Traveller/Group leader. Additional costs that result for LUEX or the Service provider shall be borne by the Traveller/Group leader, whereby LUEX reserves the right to invoice a minimum fee of €50 for changes demanded solely by the Traveller.

Should there be a modification or cancellation by LUEX / the Service provider, LUEX shall also contact the Traveller/Group leader as soon as possible and seek a possible solution.

LUEX notes explicitly that as an intermediary LUEX cannot assume responsibility for the performance of the Service provider. In particular, LUEX offers individual travel-related products and services to exotic destinations. The Traveller recognises that booking and processing these products and services are more difficult and that a higher degree of flexibility is expected of these than for mass tourism.

 

7. Complaints and ratings

Should the Traveller be dissatisfied with an aspect of the travel-related product or service received in a particular case and wish to submit a complaint, they are to approach the Service provider or their representative directly at the location during their current stay so that this person can attempt to solve the problem. LUEX recommends notifying the Service provider in text form that documents the shortcomings, if possible with the aid of photos.

If the problem cannot be resolved during the stay, the Service provider must be contacted within 30 days of returning from the trip. The Service provider should then respond to the correspondence according to the applicable laws and regulations. Receipt should be confirmed in 14 days and a full response received within 28 days. If this is not the case, an explanation for the delay should be received from the Service provider.

Should the travel-related product or service not match the description on the LUEX platform, the customer must approach the Service provider or their representative directly at the location during the customer's stay. LUEX shall support customers with respect to their complaint. LUEX is to be informed of the facts involved in the situation as soon as possible in order to be able to assist in finding a solution.

The Service provider is to be contacted immediately in the event of flight or transportation problems. Customers are to check information and the general terms and conditions given to customers via the Service provider before the commencement of travel.

 

8. Visa, passport and travel regulations

The Traveller/Group leader shall pay attention to the special visa, passport and travel regulations for the Travellers and their country of destination. LUEX makes every effort to inform customers as comprehensively and accurately as possible. To the extent that LUEX draws attention to particular details, this can only be considered as non-binding information. Considering the high number and frequency of possible amendments to regulations, Travellers/Group leaders are requested to contact the relevant embassy/consulate for the particular destination. In this respect LUEX can assume no responsibility whatsoever for any assurance, guarantee, currency or accuracy of the information. The information provided by Travellers’ ministries of foreign affairs are a reliable source with respect to many travel destinations.

It is the sole responsibility of the Traveller/Group leader to ensure that all Travellers are in possession of all requisite travel documents (passport, Visa, etc.) at the commencement of travel and that all Travellers fulfil the health requirements.

 

9. Insurance

To the extent that it is not expressly offered, insurance cover does not constitute part of the travel-related products and services offered. LUEX recommends that customers take out travel insurance, in particular travel cancellation cost insurance and in certain circumstances overseas travel insurance, including an overseas health cover component. LUEX names a reliable partner offering the relevant insurance policies to its customers at: http://www.luex.com/info/insurances.html.

 

10. Liability, responsibility

LUEX depends on the information provided to it by the Service providers with respect to the details of the travel-related goods and services. LUEX has only extremely limited opportunities to check such information with respect to their accuracy and completeness. Consequently, LUEX is unable to provide any guarantees or assurances with respect to the completeness, accuracy or currency of such information. The same applies for any other information made available by third parties.

LUEX is not liable for the availability of the travel-related product or service at the time of booking or for the performance of the booked travel-related product or service by the Service provider.

Within the scope of its performance obligations, LUEX is only liable for any losses that may result in the following cases, irrespective of legal grounds: The statutory regulations shall apply with the following restriction: Liability or minor negligence on the part of LUEX or its vicarious agents is excluded, provided that neither an essential contractual obligation was breached nor is there a case of initial incapacity, impossibility or default on the part of LUEX. Otherwise liability is limited to the value of the travel-related products and services booked, in any case however to predictable and typical losses. The exclusions of liability or facilitation shall apply in the same manner to the executive bodies of LUEX, as well as to their vicarious agents.

Travellers and Group leaders shall be liable to LUEX for each and every reservation/booking that is made in bad faith or with deceitful intent or with erroneous or incomplete personal data. The opportunity to book travel-related goods and services may only be utilised in order to make legal bookings as a Traveller or as a Group leader for a third party. At the same time, in utilising the offerings the Group leader guarantees that they are authorised and are permitted to act in the name of fellow travellers. In the event that there is a breach of these guarantee, the Group leader is liable without limitation to LUEX and their respective Service providers for the losses resulting from the aforesaid person’s actions.

In many countries there are safety standards that differ from those generally found in Europe, Australia or the USA. Travelers/Group leaders are strongly encouraged, also in their own interest, to access information once again immediately before commencing travel in accessible sources, such as the internet pages of the Foreign Office, with respect to changes in the travel regulations and safety warnings for the country of destination.

 

11. Final provisions

Should business terms and conditions or parts of the agreement be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining parts of the agreements shall not be affected.

Amendments or additions to all agreements, including a divergence from these general terms and conditions, are only possible in text form (written, by fax or e-mail). Oral agreements require written confirmation to be valid.

All communication between LUEX and a Traveller/Group leader is to be undertaken by e-mail if possible. The Traveller/Group leader therefore promises to receive and read e-mails and implement the information/instructions from LUEX accordingly. LUEX must be informed immediately of changes in contact details.

All contractual relations between LUEX, its customers and Service providers are subject exclusively to German law - with the exception of the UN Contract for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) convention. Köln shall be the mutually agreed place of jurisdiction for non-German Travellers.

      They aren't travel agents with a surf related website, but actual surfers that are experienced in both surfing and the places that they offer travel too.

      The best by far. Their actual surfers and not just travel agents that have stood up on a foamy once upon a time.
      Having tried every other agent acting in the Maldives and the surfing industry. I have finally found one that actually gets it. They aren't travel agents with a surf related website, but actual surfers that are experienced in both surfing and the places that they offer travel too. Some of the other agents which brag as being leaders in this field are far from it. There has always been some headache such as overbooking, inferior boats, or just general misinformation. These guys get it, finally.

      We booked Sea Farer for a 10 night stay in the Maldives through Ignacio and had an amazing time!
      Ignacio was brilliant to deal with - answered all our questions, gave some excellent advice and recommendations which really changed our trip. The Sea Farer is the perfect boat - so much space, the crew were excellent and the food was delicious. We were a group of 8 intermediate Aussie surfer girls and this was just the perfect trip for us. It was a once in a lifetime experience and we're grateful that it all worked out so well! Highly recommend this boat, this company and Ignacio. We still can't wipe the smile from our faces :)

      The two bookings I made was for surfing Maldives. Its not easy to find out how the waves are in the Maldives and which resort is best for your needs and have the best swells at certain times. Martin and his team have visit all the places they recommend many times, so they definitely know how it is on site and what to look for. This makes a huge different to many other agency's out there who just recommend stuff on average ratings or best commission fee.
      price:
      they can match up any price you'll find in the internet, so you won't pay extra for the service even though you should. So why not take advantage of the great service they offer.
      Service:
      Quick response rate (usually same day), really nice guys and no matter what issues you have, they can support you and take care of you. Sometimes they can work out even better deals than you find on the internet.
      I will defiantly come back here next year for more surf trips and also big mountain skiing
      See you in the water :)

Your prompt communication, attention to detail AND patience was much appreciated. I always wanted to go surf in the Maldives, but I had no idea A, where to go, and B, where to stay. Tim was kind enough to exchange probably close to 30 emails, taking the time to discuss every single option that was available that matched my budget and preferences. I honestly never had a better customer experience and thought I was in good hands throughout the booking process. Everything lined up perfectly, and I had ten unforgettable days in paradise, surrounded by good people and pumping waves. Again, thanks so much for all your efforts. I'm already planning my next trip and you, Tim, are the first person I will contact.

      Thank You Martin, Ignacio and Giulia! Outstanding customer Service, best prices and super experience!
      I have booked for the 2nd time with LUEX and I can 100% recommend these guys. They are just nice, they have visit all the places they recommend by themselves and they just take care of your whole trip!
      The two bookings I made was for surfing Maldives. Its not easy to find out how the waves are in the Maldives and which resort is best for your needs and have the best swells at certain times. Martin and his team have visit all the places they recommend many times, so they definitely know how it is on site and what to look for. This makes a huge different to many other agency's out there who just recommend stuff on average ratings or best commission fee.
      price:
      they can match up any price you'll find in the internet, so you won't pay extra for the service even though you should. So why not take advantage of the great service they offer.
      Service:
      Quick response rate (usually same day), really nice guys and no matter what issues you have, they can support you and take care of you. Sometimes they can work out even better deals than you find on the internet.
      I will defiantly come back here next year for more surf trips and also big mountain skiing
      See you in the water :)

      ... And then COVID hit!
      Ignacio at LUEX was an absolute lifesaver and legend, as he worked with the relevant stakeholders to keep postponing and prolonging our booking until we were able to actually get on a flight and go!

      I had initially booked a trip through LUEX to the Mentawai's for my partner's birthday 3 years back... And then COVID hit!
      Ignacio at LUEX was an absolute lifesaver and legend, as he worked with the relevant stakeholders to keep postponing and prolonging our booking until we were able to actually get on a flight and go! We had the most magical time as the first group of guests allowed back on the Aloita island and could not have had a more memorable and remarkable trip! We made lifelong friends, ate the most delicious food and of course, had the most amazing swells! Thank you Ignacio.

      Only 1 week before a highly anticipated, fully paid, dream trip to the Maldives, we found out we were expecting twins, and wouldn’t be able to go on that trip. LUEX went above and beyond to ensure we wouldn’t lose the rights to the trip, which we were able to take 1,5 years later.

      We’ve been using LUEX for yearly surf trips for over 7 years ...(and that already tells you something!). Three years ago, only 1 week before a highly anticipated, fully paid, dream trip to the Maldives, we found out we were expecting twins, and wouldn’t be able to go on that trip. LUEX went above and beyond to ensure we wouldn’t lose the rights to the trip, which we were able to take 1,5 years later. We’ve always had an excellent experience with LUEX, but this episode far exceeded our expectations. Needless to say, we’ve continued booking our trips with LUEX, and highly recommended them to anyone looking for a great costumer service. LUEX - You guys rock!!!!

      We had excellent customer service in April to plan our surf holiday with toddler in tow! Despite my hundreds of questions and deliberations Martin was patient and gave honest great advice, he also price matched and we got a great holiday. Would definitely book with them again.
