Charming beaches, soul-warming dips in the sea, endless sunshine, delicious food and comfortable accommodation are the top ingredients of a perfect honeymoon, and the Maldives has it all.
The Maldives is a tropical paradise located southwest of India and Sri Lanka. The nation is an archipelago surrounded by the luminous aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean. More than 90% of the country is made up of water, which is both a threat and an advantage. The country thrives as a tourist destination because of the sea, but it also threatens to inundate the whole country; this has everything to with the country being the lowest in the world. However, for now, the Maldives flourishes as a tourist destination and people from all around the globe visit the country. Couples are enthralled by the excellent accommodation provided by the Maldives. The sea, the beaches and abundant sunshine are a few other reasons why couples consider the Maldives to be a perfect honeymoon destination. Also, the fact that the country offers an array of activities to keep couples entertained contributes to the Maldives being the ideal romantic getaway. Maldives accommodation is another draw for couples; for example, finding a suitable Maldives beach resort is no hardship; accommodation options at resorts the likes of Faarufushi Maldives comes replete with luxury amenities and will offer you an idyllic retreat.
The Maldives's Baa Atoll is one of the best destinations in the world for snorkelling; it is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Surrounded by blue waters, Baa Atoll is known for the extraordinary marine life it nurtures. Taking a snorkelling trip here is an experience out of the world, and it is an encounter with vividly coloured fish. The atoll nurtures an extraordinarily large coral reef. The best time to snorkel here falls between June and November.
The island nation is known for its wonderful spa treatments. Travellers are pampered with the best of spa therapies here, and getting a spa treatment in the Maldives is one of the romantic things to do. The Maldives luxury spas treat you to authentic therapies over water, and they are usually accompanied by captivating views of the sea.
You can try deep-sea fishing whilst in the Maldives. There's so much occasion for the activity, and your resort will make the arrangements for a trip. You'll be sailing further into the sea with the guidance of a local, and you'll be told what to do. Don't expect to catch a lot of fish though; for amateurs, it takes a few rounds before they can catch fish.
Nothing can be more enchanting than sailing into the ocean in the evening when the sun is about to set. In the evening, the waters of the ocean are all placid and clear, and the sky is a chromatic variation. You and your partner can hop on a traditional Dhoni and slump into a bean bag and get all comfortable. You'll be treated to an array of canapes and drinks while you are enjoying the mesmerising vista that surrounds you. You'll be leisurely cruising around the islands while feasting on food and drinks.
Those who are keen on having unique experiences should try sandbank dining. It is a completely private affair, and you and your partner can enjoy each other's company while enjoying the surrounding beauty. A sandbank is a small, remote island that's made up of pure white sand – the beauty of Maldivian sandbanks graces Instagram frequently. The contrast of the crystal blue water with the silky white sand of the island is absolutely stunning. Your resort will make arrangements for you to sail to one of these islands and enjoy a private meal.
