If you're in search of a destination to sweep that special someone off their feet or just enjoy intimate moments together, then the Maldives is perfect. To make your getaway more special, here are some of the key experiences that couples can look forward to.
For those married or celebrating their anniversary, holding a renewal of vows ceremony on the beach is not to be missed. Such a celebration works great as a symbolic wedding too followed by a romantic honeymoon. Couples can stay at a resort that offers special renewal of vows packages in Maldives with a choice of setting be it a secluded beach, a heart-shaped sandbank or even an underwater venue! This magical day can feature a decorated area on the beach, a master of ceremony, Maldivian Bodu-Beru drummers, a three-tier wedding cake, a bottle of champagne for the toast and more.
For the ultimate romantic getaway full of privacy, stay at an adults-only private island resort that caters especially to couples. Ideal options include the likes of OBLU SELECT Lobigili which provide a castaway experience with plenty of pampering as well. For accommodation, consider a luxurious overwater villa complete with a deck overlooking the ocean, sunbeds, a private infinity pool, a hammock above a tranquil lagoon and direct access to the waters below. Such properties also offer key experiences such as romantic dinners on the beach or an underwater restaurant as well as holistic spa rituals and massages that you can enjoy together.
While watching a sunset at the beach here is pretty spectacular, you and your partner can also look to take a cruise at this time to experience a romantic journey on the Indian Ocean. Such an excursion on a traditional boat called a dhoni provides the ideal vantage point to take in the mesmerising sight of the sun dipping below the horizon with the sky painted in fiery hues. When looking for the best island in Maldives for couples, choose one that additionally offers a private full moon cruise too amidst the magic of moonlight and a myriad of stars.
The private island setting offers truly idyllic backdrops in which you and your partner can take some stunning pictures together. While selfies with your beloved will no doubt be a highlight, you can also look to capture the magical moments in more detail with a special romantic photoshoot that some resorts offer. You will have a skilled photographer taking you to the best spots on the island for pictures at the optimal times (like sunset) too; it can include aspects like professional portrait shots as well as cinematic drone and video footage that will help you cherish your getaway long after you return home.
Looking for a unique date night idea? How about a private movie screening on the beach just for you and your partner! This is exactly what some resorts in Maldives offer couples, which makes for a memorable way to end the day. It will include a special area set up on the shore with torches and candles creating a romantic ambience; you can choose from a list of international classics and Hollywood blockbusters to watch under the stars accompanied by a bottle of Champagne, yummy canapés and sheesha too.
