Is there a more exotic island honeymoon than the Maldives? It is harder to imagine something better than celebrating your postnuptial period in a 1,200-island archipelago renowned for its jaw-dropping seaside scenery. Come, revel in post-wedding bliss in the stunning tropical island paradise.
Unlike most beaches in the archipelagic nation of Maldives, the slice of beach on the Vaadhoo Island in the Raa Atoll isn't meant to sip on cocktails and bask in the sun. Instead, it is one that is to be enjoyed once the sun goes down. As the darkness descends upon the stunning archipelago, the bioluminescence plankton that inhabits the waters of the Raa Atoll wash up on the shores of Vaadhoo Island, creating a dreamlike sea of stars. After a day of revelling in the glories of the gorgeous South Asian islands, hop on a boat and head to Vaadhoo Island to treat yourself to an intimate evening as you lay your eyes on the mind-blowing glow-in-the-dark natural phenomenon.
As the sun goes down and the skies begin to take a profusion of yellowish oranges, nothing says romance like a sunset dolphin-watching cruise. Get aboard a boat and set sail into the wide-open seas to indulge yourselves in some wonderful dolphin watching. Make lovely memories that make your honeymoon truly memorable as you take in the breathtaking scenery around you and playful marine creatures put on a little aerobatics performance from the water.
If it weren't for the Maldives' picture-postcard beaches, the island nation would be nowhere near the popular honeymoon hotspot it is today. Therefore, at least one whole day savouring a slice of sun, sand and sea is a must on your Maldives honeymoon programme. Unwind under swaying palms, sip tropical cocktails, and bask in the soothing sun until the tranquil sunset sets the scene for a romantic evening.
Crystal clear waters, year-round sunshine and the schools of tropical fish and colourful corals all join forces to make the tropical islands of Maldives one of the best places on earth for snorkelling. Snorkel suit up and hit the alluring waters for some exciting snorkelling with your better half to uncover striking wonders of the world beneath the tropical blue that are sure to leave you enthralled.
No honeymoon spent in the Maldives would be complete without a romantic couples' massage. All most all beach villas in Maldives, including the likes of OBLU Nature Helengeli, offer in-house couple massages, letting you and your inamorato/inamorata wallow in body, mind and soul rejuvenating relaxation, adding oodles of bliss to your honeymoon to remember.
