The Maldives is blessed with eternal sunshine, soft white sand beaches, and beautiful surroundings. Enjoy serene island vibes and magical sunsets as you wine and dine under the stars on the beach. Here are the top reasons why the Maldives is perfect for couples.
Still retaining its crown as one of the world's top honeymoon destinations, the Maldives is a tropical archipelago located right on the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. It's an idyllic spot located far from the maddening crowds where couples can go to enjoy solitude and serene surroundings.
Made up of over 1000 coral islands, the Maldives is home to a huge array of luxury resorts located on private islands. Hence, couples can easily choose the type of accommodation they seek. Whether it's loads of quiet spots in the sun or plenty of water-based activities, the best resorts in Maldives know just how to make your holiday more romantic. Besides, places like Naladhu Private Island Maldives offer ultimate seclusion. At such resorts, you can choose beach houses or ocean houses on secluded little corners of the island.
You can enjoy a range of activities at the Maldives resorts, which will certainly be adventures to cherish for a lifetime. Amongst top activities in the Maldives for couples are island-hopping tours. On these excursions, you get to visit both local and uninhabited islands; the latter is perfect for an idyllic picnic on the beach, swim in a secluded bay, and time exploring the verdant interiors. The local islands are a treat. You get to see the simple way of life enjoyed by the islanders. Chat to the village elders and maybe even get invited in for a home-cooked meal – these are experiences savoured by many a honeymooning couple in the Maldives. Another fabulous experience in the Maldives is the sunset cruise aboard a traditional vessel called a dhow. Sail into the fiery glow of the setting sun and break open a bottle of champagne as the stars come out.
Since not all couples want to relax all the time, the Maldives offer a variety of sports to be enjoyed as a couple. Take on some kite-surfing lessons on the pristine lagoons or enrol to earn your PADI diving certificate together. And if you want to keep things simple, rent out the gear and head out to the nearest house reef of your Maldives resort and enjoy a rewarding snorkelling tour together.
Whether you are both on your honeymoon or enjoying a break from family life, the serene wellness centres in the Maldives offer the perfect elixir. The spas at the Maldives luxury resorts cater to couples seeking to rejuvenate their mind, body, and soul. And on offer are a variety of couples' therapy options. These speciality treatments promise to pamper and treat you both to utter bliss.
