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 Track is 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

PlaySpaceis Kandima’s vibrant indoor entertainment hub, where the fun continues after the sun sets. Open daily until 10 PM, it is a vibrant hub for gaming, socialising, and immersive fun.

Highlights include:
  • Hologate VR – Dive into motion-tracked multiplayer adventures from X to Y, that blur the line between reality and imagination. From action-packed quests to family-friendly fantasy worlds, it’s a fully immersive experience that keeps guests coming back for more.
  • Escape Rooms – Designed by professional game creators, players can enter the world of Jumanji and the Pirates’ Cabin for some brainy fun with a tropical twist – solving mystery cases and safari-themed chess puzzles with friends in time.
  • Bowling Alley – The Maldives’ only lanes, powered by Brunswick’s state-of-the-art technology. Guests can choose from multiple gaming modes, making each round as competitive or casual as they like.
  • Arcade & Shakes – From retro classics and air hockey to pool tables and photobooths, this nostalgic zone features a cafĂ©, serving Kandima’s signature boozy milkshakes, a cheeky treat for grown-up gamers.

With its nostalgic 80s-inspired design and playful atmosphere, PlaySpace is the ultimate indoor escape, where retro vibes meet cutting-edge tech. Whether you're bowling under neon lights, cracking escape room puzzles, or diving into VR quests, it is a place where the night comes alive with colour and connection.
