X-JetBlades
Introducing the most technically advanced hydro-foot jets on the planet! Propelled by water and powered by adrenalin, “arise” from our calm lagoon and embark on unbeatable airborne acrobatics with our revolutionary underfoot jetboards. Our expert team is on hand to offer tips and training that will have you swivelling, spinning and doing 360s before you know it. There’s a pretty cool Landaa view from up there too!
No age restrictions apply – if you’re comfortable in deep water, we’re happy for you to experience the fluid, flying fun of JetBlades. Each 45-minute session begins with a brief orientation before hitting the water, with most first timers able to experience jet-flight of up to 2 metres.
We’re the first Resort in the Maldives to offer this incredible new water sport, produced by the makers of X-Jetpacks (also available at Landaa), so don’t delay booking your experience today!

X-JETPACKS
Whizz above the ocean like a Marvel comic book hero with our brand new X-Jetpacks – the latest evolution in hydro-flight jetpack technology. Each 45-minute session includes beach training, which should enable pilots to reach a level of free flight (get completely out of the water). Put in a bit of practise and you could soon be flying up to 10 metres, completing Yaw turns, flying backwards and diving up to 5-metres underwater!
No age restrictions apply – if you can do a turtle roll in the water while wearing the Jetpack you’re eligible to have a go. We even offer shuttle flights for guests who require additional assistance (anything to have another go ourselves!)
