Ever heard of a Sit-down Hydrofoil? Here's what it does: it rides above the ocean waves while you sit on its wing. Cool, right? Well, it's the newest and best of the water sports activities available at Angsana Velavaru Resort and Spa in the Maldives. And there are over 100 more holiday activities for grabs at this unique destination.
With every imaginable holiday luxury at your fingertips, you won't want to go anywhere else....
When planning your next holiday, you absolutely must look up Angsana Velavaru because this is where the magic happens.
Try your hand at some Big Game Fishing and have something to boast of afterwards. The deeper waters of the oceans of the South Nilandhe Atoll is full of big fish that are sure to earn you everyone's envy, should you be lucky enough to haul one in.
What about watching some dolphins? Take a catamaran out into the great big ocean as you look out for these cute mammals. And if adventure is your thing, then opt for kneeboarding. Very much like Wakeboarding and Water Skiing, Kneeboarding involves hanging onto a tow-rope while the foot strap is secured over the thigh. If that's not exciting enough, go all out with Mono Skiing where you cling to the tow-rope while placing one foot in front of the other and ride the waves at high speed.
Are the kids feeling left out? Not a chance. They can join in the "grown-up" activities with Angsana Velavaru's kiddies version of water sports. Let them try out some Bubble Making which is scuba diving for 8 or 9-year-olds in the shallow lagoon. The little ones can also feel special by getting on board with the Conservation Programme where they can learn about marine life preservation such as how to care for native seabirds, turtles and coral gardens.
The resort boasts of 101 activities that will keep anyone, of any age, engaged and enthralled. The traditional water sports such as Diving, Snorkelling, Sailing, Kayaking too, are a must at this resort that is proud to have won the 2007 Indian Ocean's Leading Diving Resort award at the World Travel Awards. There really is no better guarantee of the perfect holiday than at Angsana Velavaru.
Moms and dads can take a much-needed break here, oh! And couples and singles too! The Angsana Spa is the world of relaxation you have always dreamed of. In fact, it was awarded the Best Luxury Spa in The Maldives in 2013. Visit the spa on the rooftop and indulge in the soothing therapies made from rosemary, lavender, jasmine and frangipani as the wind rustles your hair and the sounds of the ocean lull you.
You can even go for the Siam massage on the beach inspired by Thai massage techniques. In addition, learn the art of massage from the professional therapists at the spa as they teach you to pamper yourself and enjoy complete wellness. Pure bliss!
Enter a world of culinary delight at the Funa, where ambience and taste marry to make the perfect dining experience. Have your meal while suspended over the waters and enjoy the best of Maldivian cuisine. The super chef there is also ever ready to impart his cooking wisdom so that you are all set to be the next big thing in cooking once you get home!
Kaani is the place for European and Asian inspired cooking where you can dine all day, either indoors or outside. For Italian gourmet cooking, make your way to Azzuro where sights of the lagoon offer unmatched views and tasty delights.
Also, have fun with the cocktail classes and Jam Sessions with the Kuredhi staff as they include you in their singing and dancing!
Don't forget the Castaway Island Dining experience. Sit down to an awesome meal prepared by your very own chef on a private island - romantic, right?
With their super wedding packages, the most important event in your life is taken care of. Wed in style with something different. Choose to say your "I do" underwater followed by a sunset cruise and barbeque dinner. Or go the conventional yet picturesque way and exchange your vows at sunset on the beach.
