ACTIVITIES
CATAMARAN SAILING
Faster than a sailboat, riding the waters on a catamaran is an experience that is parallel to creating art, with the refreshing and free-flowing wind, and sails instead of brushes. Give your holiday a unique add-on by taking some time away from the beaches and golden sands.
SNORKELING
Whether you plan on exploring Hammerhead Point or participate in a turtle quest, Maldives is without a doubt a haven for snorkellers and divers alike. Flaunting an underwater setting that is among the best in the world, the country offers many amazing marine creatures for you to observe.
FLY BOARDING
Fly boarding is one of the newest action water sports in the industry. The output which would usually propel the watercraft is redirected to two jets on the bottom of the fly-board, creating lift. Our trained, professional fly-board operator will be controlling the throttle of the wave runner, so all you have to do is fly!
DIVING
Maldives diving resorts, especially Heritance Aarah, lets you explore a magical underwater world; gear up, go down under and see for yourself, the vibrant seascape beneath the churning waves and sea. Scuba diving at sites close to our resort opens up a whole new world for you to be lost in, with everything from surreal views of the coral reef to exotic marine life that can be spotted during a dive.
WATER SKIING
The salty yet refreshing wind flowing freely, the adrenaline rushing through your body as you water ski behind a fast boat; this is what living the ultimate vacation is all about! Once lazing about on the golden sands get monotonous, it is high time to head out into the waters.
KITE SURFING
Kite Surfng is one of the fastest growing water sports in the world. It combines power kite flying with wake-boarding to create a spectacularly unique sport. Our professional Kite Surfing instructors are ready to teach everyone what Kite Surfing is all about.
