The island nation of the Maldives is a premier choice for couples planning their honeymoon – and a dream of many regular travellers. Famed for beautiful sunsets, gin-clear waters and impossibly white sands, a getaway in this paradise promises to be truly memorable. Here are some fun and romantic activities couples can do together while here.
Kickstart your honeymoon in paradise by opting to completely rest and relax together at a luxurious spa, and that too at an underwater one. Not only will you get the opportunity to let go of the wedding stress, but you will also be able to take in panoramic reef views and embrace the hypnotic calm of the sea. Choose from a range of curated treatments and therapies administered by expert therapists and emerge completely revitalised and rejuvenated!
Apart from being one of the best honeymoon destinations in the world over, the Maldives is also renowned for its gastronomic cuisine. During your honeymoon, you will be able to dine on mouth-watering food in either open-air or themed restaurants. Alternatively, one can also enjoy a romantic candle-lit dinner under the stars while being catered to by your own personal chef and butler. Many Maldives villas including the likes of VARU by Atmosphere will be happy to arrange for this experience upon the request of their guests.
Opting for a ride on a Dhoni, a traditional boat in the archipelago is a fantastic way to take in the tropical islands of the Maldives. These boats are handcrafted by locals following traditional techniques passed down from generations. The multipurpose sailing boats offer mesmerizing views of the archipelago accompanied by your loved one. If you are feeling adventurous you can also opt to engage in a spot of fishing as well.
Abundant with vibrant coral reefs and pristine shores, the island nation of the Maldives is a paradise for those who love to engage in exciting water sports. From sandboarding, scuba diving, and snorkelling to kayaking, there are plenty of fun water-based activities one can choose from. The best part is that most resorts and hotels come with their own water sports centres, where one can rent equipment for the day and enlist for lessons.
No honeymoon in the Maldives is complete without heading off on a romantic sunset cruise aboard a luxurious yacht. One can request for a sumptuous dinner accompanied by a bottle of champagne aboard or at a secluded sandbank to make the experience even more memorable!
Given that the island nation of the Maldives is made up of 1200 coral islands, with each being unique in its own way, there is no better way to take it all in than via a fun island-hopping tour. Opting for a speedboat tour is an efficient way to do this!
