Set against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean, the 500m track will allow speeds of up to 80km/h, with 12 hair-raising turns.

For safety the karts will feature adjustable seating, safety barriers, and full seat belts and there will be three marshal posts strategically positioned around the track.

"We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Maldives' longest and first oceanfront asphalt go-kart circuit, specifically designed to cater to family travellers and adventure enthusiasts,” said Althaf Mohamed Ali, COO of Pulse Hotels & Resorts.

“This exciting addition enhances our resort's offerings for all, whilst providing an exhilarating experience for teens, couples and families.
