Searching for a destination to celebrate your love on an enchanting honeymoon? You can't go wrong by choosing the Maldives! Couples have much to look forward to on a holiday here which can be as intimate or exciting as they desire.
After all the planning and activity (and some stress too!) of the wedding, there's nothing like having a getaway to a tropical island. In the Maldives, resorts are each located on a private island meaning you can experience some sublime seclusion and serenity. Imagine waking up to the sights and sounds of the sea, taking walks on a private beach, swimming in crystal clear lagoons and whispering sweet nothings as you take in a golden sunset; every day of your honeymoon can be like that.
While you will get the option to stay at beach villas, couples on their honeymoon should definitely consider residing at an overwater villa. Such living spaces have been built over the tranquil waters of a lagoon or the Indian Ocean and provide the perfect backdrop for romance. What's more, such villas will have direct stair access to the waters below, so you can plan a dip with that special someone anytime too! Properties the likes of Niyama Private Islands Maldives feature overwater villas with additional private pools and outdoor Jacuzzis which lend to this quite unique experience.
To help you truly relax and feel rejuvenated on your honeymoon in the Maldives, resorts packages can be found which include luxurious indulgences as well as spa rituals for couples. Such resort spas will offer a wealth of holistic healing treatments that utilize traditional and modern therapies. Some will provide private sessions for couples be it at overwater treatment rooms or within the privacy of one's villa. Couples can even look to try yoga together and begin a wellness journey on their holiday as well.
Those looking to add some active pursuits or adrenaline-pumping thrills to their honeymoon can try some of the many water sports in Maldives. Snorkelling is one of the best and easiest activities to enjoy since no prior experience is required; for more serious underwater adventures, diving is on offer too. Other options include kitesurfing, jet-skiing, kayaking, wakeboarding, parasailing or even racing underwater on Seabobs. For something different, couples can take a sunset cruise aboard a dhoni or visit a local island and experience traditional Maldivian culture.
A private island setting also offers the ideal backdrop for romantic dining in Maldives. Resorts will generally have diverse restaurants to choose from each specializing in different cuisines, though couples should look to try some of the unique options that may be available. This can include having an intimate meal on the beach, fine dining amidst the treetops or sharing a gourmet picnic on a deserted island. For something truly special and depending on the resort, you could have a private dinner or champagne breakfast at an underwater restaurant!
