Surrounded by turquoise hues, luxury and a sense of romantic seclusion, Maldives is one of the best honeymoon destinations in the world.
Dive into the depths of the ocean with your loved one to explore the mysterious world of sea creatures. The life-giving coral reefs and the clear waters of the Indian Ocean will beckon you to linger awhile. For a brief moment, you will be close to fish in search of food and the lovely hues of marine flora. As a turtle dives close to you taking the secrets of the seas with it, share the moment with the love of your life.
A trip to Maldives is all about luxury and healing. Spend a whole day treating yourself and your partner to a series of spa treatments. Drink herbal concoctions to heal your body and let a professional massage therapist work around the tension in your body while soothing music takes you into a world of bliss. Soak up in a fragrant bath of flower petals and essential oils before sitting down to a delicious lunch of gourmet food. Many Maldives island resorts such as the Naladhu Maldives provide spa treatment facilities. Pick a couple's spa day to make the most of your time together.
There are 26 atolls in the Maldives and 80 islands with luxury resorts. Try out a few of the islands. Stay in one place for about three days and hop on a seaplane to explore another. Some resorts provide unique facilities and you will be able to discover the best combination of luxuries that suits the two of you.
Dedicate one day to explore Malé together. You can visit the Maldives National Museum to learn about the country's past and go the Fish Market to witness the selection of 'fruits de mer' of the day. The Esjehi Art Gallery and the Grand Friday Mosque are two of the must visit places in the capital. You will find the turrets of the Grand Friday Mosque intriguing and learn much about the nation's unique culture.
You can book a submarine ride via your resort. This is a great way to gaze at sharks deep down within the safety of your submarine and your guide will point at the shipwrecks that are slowly acclimatizing to their new world order. Usually, a submarine ride lasts about 45 minutes and that is ample time to enjoy the world beneath.
Book a luxury charter and indulge in opulence while you cruise the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. The two of you can dive or surf during pauses and go on adventure tours in small deserted islands and pretend to be lost at sea. The best part about boat safaris is the chance to share a romantic meal under the silver tingle of the stars surrounded by the soothing song of the ocean. The chef will prepare a romantic meal that is designed to be decorative, delicious and intimate at the same time.
