Kitesurfing in the Maldives<\/h5>\n

There are over a hundred resorts in the Maldives but only a few island resorts offer unobstructed lagoons that face the wind and onsite kitesurf schools that offer rentals and instruction. The Maldives is not known as being a high wind destination, however, between May and October you can expect perfect wind conditions that will make for a great holiday.<\/p>\n

Beginners and those looking to improve their kitesurfing skills will really enjoy perfect kite conditions on the lagoons. All will love sailing across the flat warm waters that are perfectly protected by the surrounding reef systems.<\/p>\n

The best time for a kitesurf holiday to the Maldives is between May and October when the south-westerly winds arrive. These winds average between 15 and 22 knots. The wind is unlike other super windy destinations we offer in that there may be some non-wind days and the wind may not blow all day but there is so much more to enjoy in the Maldives that you will never be bored!<\/p>\n
