The sights, sounds and things to do in the Maldives make it the ultimate honeymoon getaway. Breathtaking views, vibrant sea life, luxurious amenities and romance in the air make up a beautiful setting to bond with your romantic partner.
Look for the best resorts in Maldives for couples. Some resorts cater specifically to romantic couples, and adults. Resorts like the Adaaran Vadoo are called adult-only islands for this purpose. Before you book your resort, enquire about the location of your villa, reef access and amenities. Do they offer the kind of services you and your partner would require? Would you prefer a sunset or sunrise villa? If you and your partner are not morning people, skip booking a sunrise villa. Some resorts offer personalized butler services, beautiful vistas and privacy. Before you book, read a few online reviews. Try to book your resort in advance to avoid unnecessarily hefty rates. Once you’re there, bask in the luxury and pamper yourself.
Intimate dinners by candlelight and preferably under the stars are the stuff of romance on your honeymoon. Your resort can organize a few candlelight dinners for you on the beach and somewhere tucked away in a beautiful setting. Choose the dinner menu with care, and pair fine wine with the dishes. You can get help from the sommelier at the resort. Pick a private venue, but don’t forget to include stunning views of the Indian Ocean into the mix.
Pick a few couple’s spa sessions to rejuvenate your body and spirit. Space the spa sessions in between your busier schedule to incorporate relaxation into your holiday. Resorts offer different kinds of spa treatments. An Ayurvedic spa regime will include ancient herbal baths, hot stone massages, oil treatment and healthy refreshments. If you pick a more modern spa regime, expect to enjoy beauty treatments and soothing massages. Talk to the therapists to enjoy personalized spa experiences for optimal well-being.
Snorkelling is one of those must-do activities in the Maldives. Gear up and plunge into a world of effervescent views, thriving marine life and magic together. Most private resorts have their own house reefs. This means that you can enjoy the underwater treasure without many interruptions. Most likely, the first snorkelling session would be included in all-inclusive packages. As for gear, if you have the luggage space, take your own snorkelling fins and mask. If not, you can rent gear at the resort. Dive into gaze at schools of many-hued fish, coral reefs, manta rays and even mysterious turtles.
Find a secluded beach spot just for the two of you. Take a luxury hamper of beach picnic food along (think caviar, champagne, gourmet sandwiches mini desserts and strawberries). Spend your time lying on the beach, lathered in sunscreen. Watch the azure hues from the Ocean, and feel the silky sand beneath you. You can go for a dip in the ocean whenever you feel like it, and wait for the sunset to paint the sky in gorgeous colours.
