The gorgeous archipelago of the Maldives is one of the best places where you can have a romantic holiday. And here are some of the things you can enjoy with your partner during your time here.
One reason that the Maldives is considered one of the best honeymoon destinations is its private islands, also called sandbars. At your request, your Maldives island resort will arrange the expedition for you. You will be taken to the island on a boat and given lots of wine and a picnic basket full of delicious food.
The Maldives isn't a resource-rich country, but the country has done something amazing with everything it has. Underwater spas are just one example of the country's creative ingenuity, and they will bring you a romantic experience. As the name suggests, underwater spas are located underwater. You won't be in actual contact with the fish species as they won't nibble on your feet, but you will be surrounded by them while being treated to a relaxing and therapeutic spa treatment. Underwater spas aren't the only spa experience you can enjoy in the Maldives; the likes of Kuramathi Maldives offer equally relaxing spa treatments in the midst of thick vegetation surrounded by the heavenly blue of the ocean.
There's nothing a good meal cannot cure. With this in mind, you should consider treating your partner to a sumptuous meal in the embrace of the Maldives' tropical beauty. The table will be set on the soft sand of the beach amidst the swaying palm trees, where you will gorge on delicious food and drink good wine. You'll have your own chef making your favourite dishes for you, but don't worry; he won't get in the way of your privacy.
The moonlight, the sea breeze, the splashing of water, and the dark and soothing veil of the night come together to create an absolutely romantic experience for people in love. There are numerous luxury moonlight cruises you can join, and the living quarters on offer are the definition of tasteful luxury. You will also be treated to a delicious dinner and a menu of world-class wines. This is one of the best, although expensive, things you can do in the Maldives, so make sure you have the budget and the time for it.
A holiday in the Maldives will only be complete if you add water sports to it. If you are an adventurous couple, you will enjoy the thrill of being underwater among the mesmerising creatures of the Maldivian marine life. Diving is one of the most sought-after sports in the Maldives, and you can even get your PADI certificate. Don't forget to bring your underwater camera as you will have many photo-worthy moments.
While resort islands offer the best the Maldives has to offer, they are touristy. If you want to see what real life in the Maldives is like, you should join an organised island tour. Don't worry; you will be accompanied by a guide and will be kept away from committing any social faux pas. On an island hopping tour, you will be taken to an inhabited island where you will meet locals. If it's your lucky day, you might even be invited to dinner by a local. One thing you should keep in mind is that you are supposed to dress modestly in keeping with the conservative culture of the Maldives. Also, refrain from talking about religion.
The Maldives isn't a known shopping destination, but Male, the capital of the Maldives, offers a few shopping opportunities. There are several street markets where you can buy local produce, spices, and locally made arts and crafts. So, get your resort to arrange a shopping expedition to Male!
