Planning to tie the knot this year and looking for a special destination in which to host your wedding or even a renewal of vows ceremony? From private islands and gorgeous coastal settings to special packages and luxury comforts, here's why you should choose the Maldives!
In the Maldives, resorts are located on private islands that offer unique experiences along with truly unforgettable backdrops to host your wedding. You can reach these islands on an exciting speedboat or seaplane ride and from the moment you arrive, will be pampered and well looked after. An added benefit is that such island hideaways provide much more seclusion and privacy as well. The resorts themselves offer an array of comforts and conveniences too and ensure your big day is truly special.
Imagine a destination set amidst pristine sand, tropical palm trees and the glistening waters of the Indian Ocean; to that, add glorious soft sunshine or a spellbinding sunset along with refreshing whispers of the sea breeze and you will begin to understand why the beach backdrops here are so popular for weddings! Certain resorts will have a special area on the shore decorated with tropical flowers and even arrange a typical local ceremony. Some properties even provide an additional option for those looking for a truly unique celebration; an underwater wedding in Maldives!
There are also special packages on offer, tailor-made to assist couples planning to host Maldives weddings. All-inclusive package options like those offered by the likes of Adaaran Select Meedhupparu are perfect since all your needs are taken care of including if you want to renew your vows; you can look forward to the assistance of a dedicated wedding coordinator, decorated location on the shore, symbolic ceremony with traditional customs, two-tier wedding cake and a champagne toast. An ideal choice would be packages that also feature a boat cruise, champagne breakfast and five-course beach dinner.
Be it before or after your wedding, what better way to unwind than indulging in some blissful spa treatments! The great thing about hosting your celebration of love at resorts in Maldives is that they have their own spas where you and your partner can experience all the pampering you desire. Some offer double rooms as well as sauna and steam facilities and an area for mani-pedis. When here, you can look forward to revitalising massages, ayurvedic healing rituals and face and body treatments using the finest wellness products be it from Pevonia Botanica or ELEMIS.
The Maldives also happens to be one of the best destinations for a honeymoon which you can enjoy straight after your wedding! Depending on the resort, you can choose to stay at overwater villas or luxurious beach villas that provide easy access to the shore and come with added features like a private jacuzzi. You can also look forward to romantic dining, fun exploration together and even getaways to uninhabited islands; here, it will be just you and your one true love on an island where you can spend blissful moments together, savour a gourmet lunch and have a champagne toast too.
