A family holiday in the Maldives can involve a whole lot more than finding the perfect patch of sand. For families who love to stay active, Kandima Maldives brings together watersports, diving, cycling, go-karting and plenty of ways to play in one seriously stylish island (desti)nation.
Across our 3km island, every day can bring a different adventure. Dive into ocean activities with Aquaholics, race around Fast Track or explore more ways to get moving together. Here’s how to plan an active holiday in the Maldives that keeps the whole family in on the fun.
Swap the Sun Lounger for a Family Race
Fast Track brings a completely different kind of action to the Maldives with Kandima’s 500-metre oceanfront asphalt e-go-kart circuit. Racers aged 10 and above who meet the minimum height requirement of 140cm can tackle the turns and put their driving skills to the test. Turn it into some friendly competition, and you may leave the island with a new household lap-time record.
Take Your Adventures Onto the Water
There’s no shortage of ways to get out on the water at Aquaholics. Take things at an easy pace with kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding, catch the breeze with windsurfing and sailing, or pick up the speed with Jet Ski rides and other motorised water sports. With plenty to choose from, everyone can find their own way to experience the waters around Kandima.
Discover What is Happening Below the Surface
Some of the best adventures in the Maldives begin beneath the surface. Snorkelling is an accessible way to discover colourful marine life together, while families with older children and suitable experience can venture further with diving experiences at Aquaholics. It is a chance to add a different perspective to your family holiday, swapping views across the Indian Ocean for time spent exploring the marine world below.
Get a Family Match Going at the Sports Arena
Kandima’s outdoor Sports Arena gives energetic families space for tennis, badminton, volleyball and football, making it easy to turn an afternoon into your own family tournament. Pick your teams, set the challenge, and get moving under the Maldivian sky.
Explore 3km of Island on Two Wheels
Kandima stretches for around 3km, so getting from one end of the island to the other can become an activity of its own. Hop on a bicycle and explore the island together, passing tropical greenery and different Kandima hangouts along the way. A family cycle also gives you the freedom to discover more of the island at your own pace, with plenty of reasons to stop when something catches your eye.
Make Fitness Part of the VaKay
BURN Fitness Centre is open 24/7, while Kandima also offers yoga and opportunities to work movement into your day beyond the gym. Parents and older family members can keep up their routines, try something different, or simply enjoy exercising in a setting far removed from the everyday.
Give Little VIPs Their Own Kind of Action
The youngest members of the crew have energy to burn too. Kandiland offers a programme packed with fun and engaging activities, giving little VIPs their own space to play, create and discover. While they are busy having fun, parents and older family members can fit in a workout, take on Fast Track or head off on another island adventure.
Keep the Competition Going Indoors
PlaySpace brings the competition indoors with bowling, interactive games, VR experiences and escape-room challenges. It is an easy way for teens, parents and older siblings to keep playing together after a morning outdoors, or to switch up the family itinerary when everyone wants something different from another afternoon by the water.
Build a Maldives Family Holiday Around Doing More
For active families, the Maldives can be one seriously big playground. One day might begin on a paddleboard and finish with a family race, while another could take you from an underwater adventure to a football match or an island cycle. At Kandima, the beach is only one part of the story. So bring the competitive crew, the water lovers, and the little VIPs with energy to spare. Explore things to do at Kandima and start planning an anything-but-ordinary active family vacay.
