White Sands Resort Things To Do
Beaches
This beach has soft pure white sand and large sparkling turquoise lagoons with shallow warm water. White Sands Resort also offers a reef of many beautiful colours and an occasional fluffy white cloud floating through a deep blue sky. White Sands is an idyllic location on one of the larger Maldives islands with the kind of beaches that that make visitors pinch themselves to make sure it’s not all a dream.
Water Sports
The resort itself offers all kinds of water-based activities ranging from the fun to the spectacular. Guests can enjoy windsurfing, canoeing, jet skiing, snorkelling, catamaran sailing, banana riding, wakeboarding, surfing and water skiing.
Scuba-Diving
The resort has its own PADI 5 star dive centre which caters for first-timers and experienced divers alike and offers access to over 25 sites in what is one of the world’s very best locations. With warm waters, spectacular coral and an almost endless array of marine life, from whale sharks to turtles, batfish to barracudas (over 700 species of fish in all), diving here is truly an unforgettable experience.
Other Activities
White Sands has plenty of other fun and games to tempt guests away from their sunloungers including billiards, fishing, volleyball and tennis.
The Coconut Spa
After an exhausting day sipping cocktails and padding across the pure white sand what better to recover than relaxing in the renowned White Sands Coconut Spa? This well-equipped centre offers Ayurvedic body massages, specialist hair, scalp and foot treatments and aromatherapy.
Nightlife
There is entertainment at the resort, including theme nights and dancing, as well as bars and restaurants, but who needs nightlife in a destination like this?
Fishing
Fishing yachts, or dhoni, will take visitors out to where the fish are day or night. During the day you are more likely to catch game fish such as marlin and swordfish while night fishing tends to find reef fish such as emperors and snappers. Prices are extremely reasonable and you could end up catching your own supper.
Boat Trips & Excursions
In addition to fishing, boat owners are happy to run excursions and island hopping trips (there are around 1200 islands in all, only 200 of which are occupied).
Honeymoons
Wedding blessings on the beach, magical honeymoon bungalows on stilts, wooden walkways pointing out into the Indian Ocean. White Sands is a perfect destination for honeymoon holidays, anniversaries and romantic getaways.
