Snorkelling is akin to floating above a riot of colours in the Maldives due to scores of fish and coral reefs surrounding the tiny islands. It is one of the favourite experiences of underwater enthusiasts who attempt it regularly and hence opt for a Maldives luxury resort. The watersports centres of many such resorts, like So/ Maldives, make it quite convenient for them.

Imagine a combination of surfing, water skiing and snowboarding, wakeboarding encompasses all that. You get to have an amazing ride on water as you hold on to the rope that anchors you to a speedboat with your feet strapped to a board, skimming through the water at a thrilling speed.
Many Maldives resorts offer this exciting activity for beginners and advanced wakeboarders.
This sport is full of fun and exhilaration as you speed across scenic lagoons or the Indian Ocean, offering a vast open expanse of turquoise water around you. An element of thrill is added as you go over the waves, swaying at a terrific speed, and let the wind rush through your hair.
Whether you are a novice or an experienced rider, just as much as you enjoy the exhilaration, you also learn that it gives you a new perspective of the water as you carve through the waves during this experience.
One of the most exhilarating experiences over the water, Windsurfing is a blend of sailing and surfing designed to make the windsurfers drift on the clear waters, being guided by the wind and enjoying the breeze and the wonderful vistas in front of you.
Whether you are a novice or have experience, the Maldives offers many conditions that will make you enjoy windsurfing. Novices can learn from experts and set their own pace, mastering the art and skill while picking up tips and tricks from professionals.
Enjoy the lapping of the waves on your sides and the wind through your hair as you gracefully glide across the ocean in a catamaran manned by an experienced crew. This ride is faster than on a normal sailing boat, yet not that fast, enabling you to feel refreshed by the wind and observe the surroundings.
This is a unique ride to get away from the pristine beaches of your resort and explore the stunning atolls, or uninhabited islands of the Maldives, a memorable sail to enjoy nature ideally in the company of loved ones.
