Centrally located within the resort, PlaySpace is designed for thrill-seekers, families, and fun-loving travelers alike, offering a diverse lineup of entertainment options. Guests can dive into everything from high-octane bowling and private karaoke sessions to virtual reality gaming, escape rooms, and classic arcade hits — all set within a funky, 80s-inspired backdrop.
“At Kandima, we’re constantly evolving what a tropical vacation can offer,” said Dermot Birchall, General Manager of Kandima Maldives. “PlaySpace adds a new dimension to our guest experience—it’s bold, interactive, social, and above all, wildly fun.”
Key attractions at PlaySpace include:
Bowling Lanes with a Twist: Choose from curated themes like Team Challenge, Date Night Deluxe, and Family Blitz—each bundled with music, snacks, and drinks.
