The honeymoon is one's most memorable trip together and one of the first few with your spouse! The Maldives is a great spot for a honeymoon and is known the world over for its beauty and sunshine, all year round. Here are some tips that'll come in handy!
You must always have some extra cash with you in the Maldives as most items there include some additional tax – therefore you'll need extra money to cover them. In every Maldives Bungalow, US dollars are accepted but try your very best to get some of your money exchanged to the local currency in order to pay for your boat or ferry rides or tip the waiters.
The Maldives is known for its sunny weather and while we all enjoy a bit of a tan or a lazy evening under the sun, make sure your skin is protected at all times. Lots of suncreams will come in handy during your time in the Maldives and don't forget to carry one with you no matter where you go.
The humid conditions in the Maldives make great breeding grounds for insects such as mosquitos, which is quite annoying. Although the resorts try their best to keep the surroundings bug free, there's only so much that can be done. Always carry a bottle of insect repellent with you together with the suncream!
Unless you're looking for a holiday completely cut off from the digital world, it's advised you check up on the internet and wifi settings at your preferred hotel. You can also talk to your mobile phone provider beforehand and check on the internet browsing options they provide for overseas. You may have to pay extra for internet charges, so be prepared!
To experience the local Maldivian life firsthand, pay a visit to Male! Male is the capital city and the busy city life adds a bit of a difference to your otherwise relaxing and quiet holiday. Taste some local delicacies and buy some gifts and souvenirs to take back to family and friends.
Nothing screams absolute relaxation like a spa day and if you're staying at Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, the luxury spa offers a range of treatments ideal for you. A trip to the Maldives is incomplete without a spa day and honeymoon couples must absolutely invest in a spa day – which will surely enrichen your holiday experience!
You're most likely going to be surrounded by water, considering the Maldives is an archipelago. Make use of this and try out all the watersports on offer! This is a great way to add adventure and adrenaline into your honeymoon, especially if you and your partner like a bit of excitement! Most properties have their own set of water sports and equipment, so you're unlikely to have to travel too far. Nevertheless, it's best if you try the watersports with a guide or a local expert right beside you to be on the safer side.
