Charming Surf Getaway in Rote Island!

In Rote, you will find a world-class set of waves away from crowds and offering the consistency and quality that makes the Indonesian archipelago one of the best surfing spots in the world.

The Resort

Hidden among the palm trees of the remote Rote Island, T-Land Resort is an exclusive resort designed to accommodate small groups (maximum 16 people) thinking of the comfort, peacefulness and an idyllic tropical setting. The resort is located in the most coveted place in Nemberala beach, just in front of the main wave T-Land, which gives its name to the resort and is one of the longest left waves in Indonesia.

Waves at T-Land Resort

In Rote Island, you will find consistent world-class waves, away from the crowds! Rote receives from March to November consistent S-SW swell, that is when the Indian Ocean turns into a playground of waves and dreams. During this season, the E-SE winds blow off-shore. The locals of Rote and very friendly and happy to share their waves!

T-Land is the main Roteยดs wave and one of the longest and most perfect left-handers in Indonesia. The wave has three sections, suitable for different surfing skills, making it accessible, manoeuvrable, breaking at all tides and holding up to 15ft. Bommie, Boat, Do’o and Suckies are great options for those willing to surf some right-harders as well!

T-Land Resort offers unlimited transfers to the main wave spots (T-Land and the Bommie). Surf to the other waves of the area can be organised by land or boat transfers.

Why We Love T-Land Resort

Uncrowded world-class waves in a real Indonesian surfing paradise!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
