Paradise After Dark: Kandima Maldives Flips the Script on Island Evenings
In a destination known for tranquil sunsets and serene lagoon vibes, Kandima Maldives flips the script—ushering in a bold new era of after-dark adventure at Fast Track, the Maldives’ first professional-grade electric go-kart circuit, and PlaySpace, a dynamic entertainment venue featuring immersive VR, themed escape rooms, and the country’s only bowling alley.
Fast Track: Night Racing Under the Stars
Beyond postcard-perfect sunsets, Fast Trackis where adrenaline meets ocean breeze. This 500-metre oceanfront asphalt circuit - the longest and fastest in the Maldives, features 12 thrilling turns and Blue Shock Race (BSR)electric karts that reach speeds of up to 80 km/h.
At night, the track transforms under stadium-style floodlights into a high-octane arena where every lap is electric. Racing lovers can even try to beat the 38.033 seconds lap record set by Formula 2 champion Theo Pourchaire this summer, and participate in Grand Prix tournaments to win additional prizes.
Whether you are flying solo, racing with friends, or making family memories, Fast Track’s deliver the full-throttle experience for novice and experienced racers, with staff guidance through qualifying rounds and all the adrenaline you can handle.
PlaySpace: The After-Dark Playground of Possibilities
