The world's favourite honeymoon destination is indeed a romantic tropical haven. The Maldives is loved for its sultry weather and island vibes. Plus, there's so much to do and enjoy apart from romantic walks on the beach. Well then, here are the most romantic things to do on your Maldives honeymoon.
Your honeymoon will be one to remember when you plan an island-hopping tour during your holiday in the Maldives. Organise your tour via your luxury Maldives resort and have the entire experience tailor-made to your desire. Generally, an island-hopping tour will consist of an exploratory journey of islands on the atoll your resort is based at. An ideal plan would be a picnic on an isolated island. Including a swim and snorkel tour, and also a trip into the wild interiors of the island. You can then head out to a local inhabited island to meet the islanders and learn about their simple island lifestyles. Plus, you can chat to the elders and even get to see a fresh catch of fish being hauled in if you are lucky.
After your island-hopping tour, you get to return to the pleasure of your private island resort where Maldives villas create the perfect oasis for couples in love to unwind and enjoy each other's company. Places like Grand Park Kodhipparu are experts at creating romantic little havens as such.
If you are the kind of couple who enjoys romance and adventure together, the Maldives has the perfect solution – scuba diving. The over 500 species of marine life thriving in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean make scuba diving a real pleasure. Plus, the coral islands are gorgeous. Explore the underwater formations of corals and reefs as you explore. Discover exotic marine species and relish the beauty of the planet's underwater world. Not to worry if you are not a diver. If you still want to dive and savour the experience, head over to your resort's dive centre and have expert instructors train you both in the art of scuba diving and earn your PADI diving certificate at the same time.
Maldives luxury villas offering honeymoon packages are always home to wellness centres that cater to couples looking to relax and unwind after the pressures of planning their wedding. Maldives spas are holistic centres for couples to indulge in some much-needed pampering. Choose from special couple's therapy packages and heavenly treatments, which range across traditional ayurvedic therapies as well as signature spa sessions; tailor-made to your desire.
The Maldives is nothing short of stunning and you will have plenty of opportunities to chronicle your honeymoon in photographs. From the gorgeous white sand beaches to coconut palms swaying in the breeze to mesmerising sunsets, the islands are nothing short of magical. You can take a serene boat ride and capture the beauty of the Indian Ocean with the coral islands in the backdrop. Investing in an underwater camera will help you capture unique underwater shots of you both exploring the deep blue; surrounded by dozens of marine inhabitants!
