The Maldives is the ultimate romantic destination- but this should come as no surprise. Turquoise waters gently lap the white sandy beaches which are lined by tall swaying palm trees; there’s really nothing quite like it. If you are planning on taking the next step with your partner, you should definitely consider proposing to them in the Maldives.
Overwater villas are a quintessential feature of resorts in the Maldives. An overwater villa is a luxury room perched over the clear blue seas; it has all the amenities as any other hotel room, but with the added bonus of a large sundeck with sunbeds and sometimes an overwater hammock! These rooms are extremely romantic because it gives you the feeling as though you and your partner are on your own little private island. Wake up to ocean views and the sound of the waves lapping against the stilts of your villa. For a lovely intimate proposal, a great idea would be to have a special dinner on the deck of your villa; propose to your love with a delicious meal under a moonlit sky while overlooking the tranquil Maldivian seas.
Another fun option would be to pop the question in the middle of one of your favourite movies. Many hotels like Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives offer their guests the experience of going to the theatres under the stars. The resort is very accommodating, and if you tell them in advance you can certainly organise a private cinematic experience for just you and your loved one. This is perfect for movie buffs, not only will you get to watch one of your favourite movies, but you will also be sitting on comfy beans backs, toes in the sand, smiles on your faces and the stars shining bright.
This is probably the most popular way of proposing in the Maldives, but it’s still special nonetheless. If you and your partner are more low-key and don’t want to make a huge show about your proposal, this is a good option for you. After a morning of swimming and snorkelling, come back ashore for a little drink and a break, this is a wonderfully intimate time to propose. Although it does not have all the pomp and pageantry as the other options do, it includes what matters most; just you and your partner taking on anything and everything together.
Alternatively, if you do prefer a grand gesture, you can plan it ahead with the hotel you’re staying in. Have a beachside table just for the two of you with flowers and candles to set the mood. Whatever you choose there is no doubt your partner will feel special.
Finally, nothing is more romantic than watching the sunset with your partner… except maybe watching the sunset in the Maldives! Most hotels run sunset cruises as it’s not only a very romantic experience, but it’s also a great time to spot dolphins! You and your soon to be fiancée can go on a dhoni during the late afternoon and embark on this soon to be a life-changing nautical adventure! To make it even more special, ask your hotel to pack a picnic basket so that you can enjoy a picnic in the middle of the Indian Ocean!
Whatever option you choose, just remember that it’s all about the love between the two of you and no matter what you choose this moment will always be special.
