8 Days Surf the Maldives with Ben Gravy
About this journey
Spend seven nights surfing the tropical reef breaks of Laamu Atoll alongside professional surfer and YouTuber Ben Gravy. Warm water, island living and unforgettable waves with a small group of surfers.
This is more than a surf holiday. It is a rare opportunity to spend an unforgettable week surfing alongside Ben Gravy in one of the most beautiful and remote surfing destinations in the world.
Located in the southern Maldives, Mundoo Island sits within the spectacular Laamu Atoll. Warm, crystal-clear water, tropical temperatures and beautiful reef breaks make this an incredible destination for surfers looking for adventure, great waves and a genuine escape from everyday life.
Your home for the week will be a luxury beachfront tent surrounded by tropical vegetation and only moments from the ocean. From morning surf checks to sunset sessions, every day will revolve around the waves, the conditions and the relaxed rhythm of island life.
Ben will join the group throughout the experience, paddling out, sharing waves and bringing his unmistakable energy and enthusiasm to the trip. Expect early morning surf sessions, tropical island living, great food, an island barbecue and evenings spent sharing stories beneath the Maldivian stars.
Please note: guests must already be able to catch and ride unbroken green waves. This trip is not suitable for complete beginners, and guests should bring their own suitable surfboard or quiver.

Surfing Laamu Atoll with Ben Gravy
Days begin with a surf check from the beach before heading out to the reef breaks of Laamu Atoll. Warm, clear water, tropical temperatures and consistent waves shape the rhythm of the week, with sessions chosen around swell, wind and tides.
Between surfs there is time to swim, explore the island, relax beneath the palms or simply recover ready for the next session. Evenings are for good food, relaxed conversation and stories from the day's surfing — including one special island barbecue and beach fire beneath the stars.
Final session · transfer to Malé
Saturday 28 August 2027. A last dawn session if conditions allow, then the boat transfer and internal flight back to Malé International Airport (MLE) for onward flights home.

“Laamu Atoll is stunning — clear water, uncrowded waves and proper island living. The island barbecue under the stars was a highlight. PURE ONE handled every transfer and flight connection perfectly.”
