When your country is made up of 1190 islands, there are bound to be many untouched hidden gems ready to be explored. HA. Kelaa is just one of these many gems, but one that will definitely leave an impression if you visit. Since 99% of the Maldives is water, a visit to the Maldives will only be 1% complete if you spend your time solely on land!
Kelaa boasts one of the biggest lagoons in the Maldives, measuring up to 20km2 compared to the 2.02 km2 of the island, and is enclosed by a 7.28 km house reef. A shallow lagoon area encloses a deep area (vilu), where the depths reach 5-6 m and 10-20 m respectively.
Kelaa Water Sports
In this blogpost, we want to introduce and throw the spotlight on a group of youth who recognize the vast potential for exploration and fun involved in our lagoon, reef and beach by operating water sports in Kelaa. In the spirit of youth empowerment and supporting local businesses, we applaud their efforts and vision to boost local tourism in Kelaa.
With Kelaa Water Sports, you can explore our enormous reef and one of the biggest lagoons in the Maldives in multiple ways. Whether you want to go to specific snorkeling sites and jump into the turquoise blues off their boat, or you want to take the jet ski out for a spin, these guys have you covered.
How To Make Your Kitchen Feel Like It's In The French Countryside
One of the best parts of experiencing water sports in Kelaa is because the reef enclosing our island and lagoon creates a calm and still area for you to boost the speed on the jet ski up to the maximum and try out stunts and spins safely.
In addition to this, you can try out stunts on the wake board, water ski, or try out the fun tube with your friends and family.You can also have a go at wind surfing, learning the ropes from the experienced staff at Kelaa Water Sports.
If that is too much excitement to begin with, you can kick off with a smooth sail on their catamaran. A catamaran, a sunset, and a pod of playful dolphins are the makings of a good day. If you’re lucky, you may be able to sting rays sail past in the water as well.
If you want to have some quiet moments of reflection just to yourself, take a paddle board or a standing board out, drinking in the scenery and the sunset. There is nothing like a paddle either alone or with company to make you feel rejuvenated!
Visit Kelaa
Kelaa being a hidden gem really has its perks for visitors. Often, you may find that you are the only one in the calm and peaceful lagoon. It is a true get away from all things that weigh heavy on your mind, away from busy resort life, and the guest houses inland. Just you and breath taking scenery.
For all this and more, we cannot recommend a better group of people to guide your exploration of our waters. The friendly, young and energetic group that runs Kelaa water sports grew up on the beach and exploring the lagoon. They know the area like the back of their hands, and so we can guarantee that you are indeed in the best hands with them.
