Laamu Atoll is in the south. Plan it as a group of islands, not one hotel: check which islands are local communities, which are resorts, and whether you arrive by speedboat, domestic flight plus boat, or seaplane. Laamu is known for Gan, one long island, and surf on the east side in season. The practical first step is the Atoll Compass atoll page, then the island pages for stays and dive sites.
Getting there: Velana International Airport is the international gateway. From there, Laamu is reached by the transfer that matches the island you booked. Distant atolls often mean a domestic flight or a seaplane in daylight.
What to do: Use the diving page for Laamu to see published sites and centres. Use Stay for guesthouses and resorts on each island.
Open the Laamu atoll page for the island list, then diving in Laamu.
