When it comes to honeymoons, the Maldives is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Here are some reasons why you should make it the place to begin your new chapter of love.
The honeymoon is a time you would want to totally spend with that special someone, away from distractions and crowds. In the Maldives you can enjoy such seclusion; many resorts are on their own pirate islands which mean there is ample privacy for couples as well. You can easily find areas on the island in which to just enjoy each other's company without getting disturbed and share moments you are bound to cherish for the rest of your lives.
Weddings can be stressful affairs no matter how well they are planned. After the excitement of the wedding day, chances are couples will be pretty tired and there's nothing like having lots of relaxation while on the honeymoon. The Maldives is a place you can enjoy this in abundance; unwind in a luxurious villa, spend time at the beach soaking up the sun and take long walks hand in hand as a magical sunset unfolds before you.
Many Maldives resorts have a choice of intimate accommodation options that are perfect for couples. From beachside bungalows to luxury overwater villas, these living spaces offer privacy amidst modern comforts and not forgetting breathtaking views. Overwater villas, in particular, provide a truly unique setting above the waters of the lagoon or ocean, giving you the chance to begin and end your day amidst the soothing sights and sounds of the sea.
Romantic destination dining is taken to new heights when in the Maldives, giving couples the chance to enjoy a magical dinner amidst awe-inspiring backdrops. Be it right on the beach, by the lagoon or on your villa terrace overlooking the ocean, private dining experiences here are quite special. Resorts such as Baros Maldives even offer the chance to dine in pure seclusion on a private sandbank or on the waves aboard a dhoni (traditional boat) for that added touch of island romance.
There are also plenty of fun activities and excursions in Maldives that you can try as a couple. Snorkel together and discover surreal worlds beneath the waves, soar above the waters in a tandem parasailing experience and explore local islands and learn about the traditional culture. For something truly special sail into the horizon on a private yacht, sharing champagne and toasting your new life together as the sun begins to set.
Most island resorts have their own luxury spas including those that have special treatments and private rooms for couples. These therapies are ideal for those looking to get that added pampering while on the honeymoon along with helping you feel revived, refreshed and revitalised. Massages, body wraps, facials and scrubs are just some of the many treatments on offer. Some spas even offer Ayurveda therapies, providing holistic healing that is bound to help newlyweds find that inner peace.
