London, UK, 1 July 2025: Kandima Maldives, the bold, active lifestyle resort famous for breaking the mold in island travel, has once again raised the bar with the launch of PlaySpace – an electrifying, all-ages entertainment destination redefining island resort entertainment in the Maldives. ​

Nestled in the heart of Kandima, PlaySpace blends retro vibes with modern thrills, offering an eclectic mix of activities that cater to thrill-seekers, families, and fun-loving guests alike. From high-energy bowling sessions and private karaoke nights to immersive VR experiences, escape room adventures, and classic arcade games, this new facility further reinforces Kandima as the Maldives’ go-to active lifestyle (desti)nation.

“At Kandima, we’re always looking to evolve what island escapes can be. PlaySpace brings a new dimension to our guest experience – it’s interactive, social, and above all, wildly fun,” said Dermot Birchall, the island resort’s General Manager.

Key Highlights of PlaySpace include:

  • Bowling Lanes with a Twist – Choose from themed packages like Team Challenge, Date Night Deluxe, and Family Blitz, complete with drinks, snacks, and music.
  • Karaoke Meets Cocktails – Belt out your favourites in private rooms while sipping on beer, wine, or bubbly with the Karaoke & Cocktails Package.
  • Virtual Reality & Arcade Zone – Adrenaline-pumping VR games, air hockey, billiards, and classic arcade hits for gamers of every level.
  • Escape Rooms – Mind-bending group challenges for up to three guests – perfect for bonding or bragging rights.
  • Eats & Treats – From gourmet paninis and mini pizzas to nostalgic smoothies and zero-proof cocktails like Tropical Dreamscape and Lychee Breeze, PlaySpace offers crave-worthy bites between games.

Open daily from 10 am to 10 pm, it’s a must-visit for guests looking to add some serious play to their paradise stay. Kandima has just launched Fast Track – the ultimate go-karting experience in the Maldives. This one-of-a-kind, ultra-stylish e-go-kart circuit redefines island adventure. Stretching 500 metres along the oceanfront, it's the Maldives’ first and only asphalt track of its kind, offering heart-racing speeds of up to 80 km/h and 10 thrilling turns.
