With the Maldives being surrounded by the Indian Ocean, you can expect to have a wide range of water activities to choose from. In fact, there are so many things to do in the Maldives that you might not have enough time to go through all of them in one vacation. At Club Med Maldives, we offer a long list of water sports that are sure to satisfy all holiday-goers from kids to the diving enthusiast.
Learn how to sail and be the captain of your own sailboat. If you've always fancied sailing around the world, you can try your hand at handling a small catamaran in the Maldives. We have group lessons so you can learn how to harness the wind and sail in just a few days, with classes open to children from six years old. If you're an experienced and proficient sailor, you can even borrow a catamaran and sail on your own.
No beach resort holiday is complete without skimming over the waves on a waterski. If you're after even more of an adrenaline rush, you can try wakeboarding. Whether you're a total beginner or experienced at water sports, you can enjoy these activities with the help of our instructors. If you want the ultimate excitement without leaving your resort, then this is your answer.
The Maldives is a world-class surfing destination that sees surfers from all over the world coming to conquer the waves every year. The ideal surfing time is during the monsoon season from May to the end of October, when you have exciting waves around the archipelago. At Club Med, beginners and surfing enthusiasts alike can enjoy surfing as we offer beginners' surfing lessons and group surfing outings.

Glide over the clear Maldivian water in a kayak and enjoy some quiet time. You can paddle on your own, or have a friend in the kayak with you as you go on your own adventure around our resort. Besides regular kayaks, we also have glass bottom kayaks that allow you to see the rich marine ecosystem beneath your feet. Our kayaks are open to children as young as six years old, so you can take your kids on a safe marine adventure they won't forget.
For a unique experience on the water, hop on our paddleboards. We have regular-sized and giant stand up paddleboards, so you can have fun on the water with even a large group of friends.

Once you try it, it'll probably be your favourite water activity in the Maldives.
