PARADISE WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED

The Central Atolls are a paradise waiting to be explored. They are also the main alternative to the more famous, easily accessible and crowded North Male Atoll.

Located about 75 miles (10-11 hours by boat) south of North Male Atoll, they foster uncrowded, pristine lefts, rights and combined peaks, which easily match or even exceed those found at North Male Atoll.

There is good surf in the Meemu, Thaa, Faafu, Dhaalu, Thaa and Lammu atolls, the latter being the Southernmost atoll, with the most surfing spots.

The best spots in the Central Atoll are Veyvah (right), Muli (right), Malik's (left), Mikado (right), Finnimas (left), Refugee's (left and right), Ying Yang (right). 

These atolls are accessible by one of two means; by boat, enjoying a full programme starting from Male Atoll and surfing some of the most known peaks, passing South Malé Atoll, and surfing at spots such as Gurus (left), the last spot before the final 6 hour open-sea crossing to Meemu at the Central Atolls.

The other way involves taking a domestic flight from Male to Kadhdhoo (KDO), starting the programme at the Central Atolls.
