1. Electrifying Fun: Fast Track Go‑Karting with F2 Star Théo Pourchaire
Set your family’s competitive spirit alight on Fast Track, the Maldives’ longest and fastest electric go‑kart circuit. The highlight? Special guest Théo Pourchaire, Formula 2 sensation, who will steer guests through pro-level driving clinics, share behind-the-scenes racing insights, and even race alongside families during exclusive “Kandima Races.”

2. Beachside Beats: Join DJ Jaguar Bingham
Imagine mastering the music decks as the sun dips behind palm trees. Jaguar Bingham, renowned BBC Radio 1 DJ, brings his infectious energy to Summer Kamp, where he’ll conduct hands-on DJ workshops, host Q&A sessions, and curate intimate sunset performances on the beach.
Kids and teens will be drawn to the tactile thrill of beat-matching and mixing, while adults can enjoy lifting the veil on professional DJ techniques. Beyond workshops, unwind at open-air cinema nights by the shore or gather around bonfires syncing perfect beats to melodies—and memories—that last a lifetime.
3. KULA Art Studio: Creative Exploration in Paradise
Art meets nature at the KULA Art Studio, where family creativity blooms:

- Evening BBQ events offer fresh seafood and local specialities right on the beach
- Kids can get hands-on at cooking workshops, learning how to roll sushi, craft pasta, or plate seafood ceviche
Food is more than nourishment; it’s a path to culture, creativity, and togetherness.

With direct flight connections through hubs like Dubai and Doha, and Canadian-friendly entry policies (including a free 30-day visa on arrival), this island is more accessible than ever. Plus, with school out July to August, it’s a prime window to build memories pre-academic year.
