Adventure-seekers and water sports enthusiasts visiting Siyam World can now enjoy a thrilling new addition to the resort’s expanding lineup of aquatic experiences, the Manta5 Hydrofoiler XE-1, the world’s first hydrofoil electric bike. This cutting-edge watercraft offers guests a unique and exhilarating way to explore the pristine turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean while staying at one of the Maldives’ most vibrant and dynamic resort destinations.
Sourced from New Zealand, the Manta5 Hydrofoiler XE-1 is a pioneering innovation inspired by the same hydrofoil technology used in America’s Cup sailboats. Designed to deliver a smooth and silent ride, this water bike glides across the surface using carbon fiber foils and advanced buoyancy modules, maintaining stability even in choppy conditions. With a lightweight build of just 31 kilograms and a sleek design measuring 1.40 meters in height and 2 meters in width (including the foils), it provides a seamless fusion of performance and accessibility.
Guests at Siyam World can experience up to four hours of ride time per charge, reaching speeds of up to 11 knots, offering both a high-adrenaline thrill and a peaceful glide depending on the rider’s preference. The bike comes equipped with variable electrical pedal assist, a removable battery system, and a dedicated mobile application for enhanced control. Its IPX8-rated motor housing and Bluetooth connectivity ensure reliable performance on saltwater, while the frame, crafted from aircraft-grade TIG-welded 6061-T6 aluminum, ensures durability against corrosion, making it ideal for the tropical marine environment of the Maldives.
The Manta5’s eco-conscious design creates minimal noise and environmental disruption, aligning with Siyam World’s commitment to offering sustainable and immersive recreational options. With a market price of USD 8,990 (approximately MVR 138,000), this premium watercraft redefines luxury water sports and adds to the resort’s appeal as a destination that merges innovation with natural beauty.
This new addition complements Siyam World’s existing portfolio of water-based attractions, including their semi-submersible “Sea Breacher” vessel. Together, these offerings underscore the resort’s continuous investment in delivering extraordinary experiences that go beyond traditional beachside relaxation. Located in the Noonu Atoll, Siyam World is renowned for its all-inclusive concept, expansive private villas, and diverse activity programs that cater to couples, families, and solo travelers alike.
By introducing high-tech, globally recognized innovations like the Manta5 Hydrofoiler, Siyam World positions itself not only as a premier luxury resort in the Maldives but also as a hub for transformative aquatic adventures that cater to the modern traveler’s desire for excitement, sustainability, and exclusivity — all set against the breathtaking backdrop of one of the world’s most iconic island destinations.
