If you want to walk through the soft sand with your new partner in life or watch a breathtaking sunset together, Maldives offers many romantic destinations that are ideal for honeymooners.
Just a hop, skip and a jump away from Malé, the capital of Maldives, Hulhumale' is located in the Kaafu Atoll. Its close proximity to the capital means that travel and the cost of meals on the island are relatively cheaper than the other islands. There are several restaurants on the beach, perfect for a romantic meal for two. Hulhumale' beach offers wide expanses of white sand against crystal blue waters.
Breaking away from the secluded island stereotypes, Malé Island also offers a great honeymoon destination for couples who want to get out and soak in the culture of the Maldives; from exploring its street markets to appreciating the awe inspiring architecture of the Grand Friday Mosque. Exploring the colourful capital of Malé while taking romantic seaside lunches and when the hustle and bustle of city life becomes too much for you, you can always go island hopping. In short, a honeymoon on Malé Island offers the best of both worlds.
Located on Rashdoo Island, this is the only public beach in Maldives where bikinis can be worn. Bikini beach offers an undulating stretch of white sandy beach lined with shady palm trees and sun beds. The best news is the beach being within one hour of the airport by speedboat ferry.
If you are looking for isolation at a Maldives luxury resort, you are likely to enjoy the secluded beach offered by COMO Cocoa Island, Maldives. On the Cocoa Island private beach, you can sit back and soak up the sun with your loved one on your own little slice of tropical heaven.
What sets this beach apart from all the others is the coral reef surrounding it. This is the ideal place to go snorkelling or diving and explore the underwater beauty of Maldives with your loved one.
Known as one of the most beautiful islands of the Baa Atoll, the island is longer than its width. With only a local village with a mere 250 inhabitants on the eastern side of the island, you are likely to have most of the beach to yourself.
The glowing beach of Vaadhoo island can be one of the most breathtaking things you see during your stay. At night time, the beach is alive with the magic of watching the glowing tides that wash the shore at night. It is simply bioluminescent plankton but it feels like you are part of a fairytale.
Located on Huvahendho Island, it is considered one of the most pristine beaches in Maldives. Some of the world's most famous diving sites are close by and are easy to access once you have had your fill of sunbathing.
This is a tiny coral island which boasts of one of the best lagoons in Maldives. Dining with your loved one against the backdrop of the lagoon is a must!
Located in the South Ari Atoll, Dhigurah beach is the perfect place for couples looking for a great beach and adventure. Once you are done basking in the sun, you can dive with the whale sharks in the area. There are also a variety of affordable cafes in the area.
Maldives has much to offer honeymooners; be it romance, adventure or both!
