Adrenaline adventures at Ifuru Island Maldives

What makes this private island surprising is the selection of adrenaline-boosting activities. As the island has its own private airport, the resort has teamed up with world champion skydiver, Will Penny to offer the first permanent skydiving dropzone in the Maldives.

This fun activity can be enjoyed from the start of November to the end of March, while guests enjoy spectacular aerial views over the clear, turquoise Indian Ocean waters. Alternatively, guests can have a surfing experience or dive with a number of species of sharks that swim around the island.

For guests who prefer not to boost their adrenaline, Ifuru Island Maldives hosts a range of tours and experiences, including sunset cruises, island hopping, dolphin watching, snorkeling and stargazing.

Meanwhile, the resort has a range of facilities, including the Night Tennis & Multi Court, a 24-hour fitness center and a choice of other water sports. For families, the kids can have a ball in the Little Explorers Club and the Coconut Kids Club.
