Ayada Maldives: A Dream Destination for Sports Lovers and Active Travelers

If your idea of the perfect vacation includes staying active while surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, Ayada Maldives is the resort for you. Unlike many smaller Maldivian islands, Ayada’s large, lush footprint allows for a full spectrum of sports, fitness, and wellness activities, making it a standout choice for travellers who want more than just sun and sand.

A fitness-friendly island

Ayada Maldives offers an expansive gym, equipped with the latest cardio machines, free weights, and functional training tools to help you keep up with your regular routine. The resort also features:

  • A tennis court for singles or doubles matches

  • A multi-sport basketball court

  • Scheduled yoga and Pilates sessions, either indoors or beachside

If you enjoy jogging, the resort’s elongated overwater jetty and lush internal pathways form a scenic route that takes around 15 minutes to complete the longest loop—perfect for a morning run with ocean breezes and tropical views.

Non-stop water action—without the engine noise

Ayada Maldives offers complimentary access to non-motorised water sports, giving guests a fun and eco-friendly way to explore the lagoon. Available activities include paddleboarding and snorkelling right off the beach or our lagoon.

Snorkel gear is always available, and our team can point you toward the best spots for coral, fish, and maybe even a sea turtle or two.

A rare variety in the Maldives

What sets Ayada apart is its ability to provide both wellness and adventure in a single island. Many Maldives resorts, especially smaller ones, simply don’t have the space to offer such a diverse sports repertoire. At Ayada, you don’t have to choose between luxury and activity—you can have both.

Designed for balance

Whether you're working on your tennis backhand, deepening your yoga practice, or simply enjoying a sunrise jog, Ayada Maldives creates an environment where movement and mindfulness go hand in hand. You can follow up a vigorous gym session with a soothing massage at AySpa or end your day with a restorative yoga class overlooking the Indian Ocean.

This is wellness without compromise. Adventure without crowds. And fitness in paradise
