The honeymooners’ paradise that is the Maldives need no introduction for newlyweds around the world. If you have your heart set on the Indian Ocean island nation for your postnuptial trip, you can rest assured that there’s a plethora of romantic things to do that you will be spoiled for choice.
If it weren’t for its scores of picture-postcard beaches, the Maldives would be nowhere near the tourist hotspot nor the honeymooners’ paradise it is today. Therefore, regardless of what sort of holiday it is, your Maldives experience would not be complete without some beach bumming, especially if it is your honeymoon. So, lounge under swaying palms, sip on tropical cocktails and bask in the soothing sun, losing yourself in the idyllic seaside atmosphere.
Unlike most beaches in the island nation of Maldives, the stretch of beach that is on the island of Vaadhoo is not meant to be enjoyed basking in the sun and sipping cocktails. Instead, it is one that really comes alive once the sun goes down. Vaadhoo Beach, popularly known as the Maldives’ glow-in-the-dark beach, sees heaps of bioluminescent plankton, which inhabit the surrounding waters and wash up on shore at night, creating a “sea of stars”, and for honeymooners, the perfect setting for a lovely romantic evening.
As the sun begins to reach the horizon and the azure blue skies take a profusion of yellowish oranges, hop on a boat to go on an exciting sunset dolphin watching cruise. Keep your eyes peeled as you set sail into the wide-open seas; if it is your lucky day, it won’t take long to spot a pod of playful dolphins. Adding to the excitement is the gorgeous seaside scenery, making for a delightfully romantic experience.
As an archipelagic nation of nearly 1,200 islands, one could not possibly wish for a better place on earth for some exciting island hopping. To add some thrill and adventure to your intimate getaway, hop on a private yacht and set sail to explore some of the deserted islands in the vicinity of your resort island. Be sure to create lovely memories as you embark on this adventure to make your honeymoon truly memorable.
One of the best things to do in Maldives, especially when you are on your honeymoon at one of the island nation’s finest resorts such as The Residence Maldives, is to treat yourself to a relaxing couples massage. Thanks to the Maldives incredible reputation for lavish massages, you would find that there’s a plethora of treatments and packages to choose from.
