The Maldives, a tropical paradise, offers an idyllic setting for those seeking a romantic getaway. With its luxurious resorts and idyllic islands, this divine destination is the perfect place to reconnect and create unforgettable memories. Here are some of the top experiences for couples to enjoy.
A sunset cruise is a quintessential experience for couples visiting the Maldives. Depending on your chosen resort, you will embark on your adventure on a modern yacht, or a traditional boat called a dhoni. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery crimson, soak up the magical atmosphere and enjoy each other's company. Some properties will feature sunset cruise experiences that come with delicious canapes and a glass of champagne, ideal when you want to make a toast to your love eternal!
Indulge in a private dining experience at your resort, amidst an intimate and romantic atmosphere. Begin the day by enjoying a unique floating breakfast in your pool villa, surrounded by breathtaking ocean views. At some Maldives resorts, special offers for couples will include the chance to dine under the stars on a secluded stretch of shore, with the gentle sound of waves providing a soothing soundtrack. You may even have the option of dining on a jetty amidst moonlight or on the veranda of your villa which also provides an intimate setting for culinary discoveries!
A popular choice for couples at private island resorts such as Kandolhu Maldives is to stay at an overwater villa. These distinctive living spaces are built over a tranquil lagoon or the ocean, set amidst views of an endless horizon where the sea meets the sky. Some even come with a private pool for added indulgence along with an outdoor deck featuring sun loungers and either sunset or sunrise views. Apart from spending time soaking up the heavenly atmosphere, you can also directly head down to the waters below, perfect for a romantic swim or snorkelling session for two!
Unwind and rejuvenate with a couples’ spa treatment at your resort. Enjoy a relaxing massage, body scrub, or facial treatment in a serene and private setting. While therapies can be tailored to suit your individual needs, some properties offer special spa packages in Maldives for couples, including a combination of treatments utilising natural elements such as organic seaweed. Pamper yourself and your partner with these indulgent wellness rituals and leave feeling refreshed and revitalised!
For the ultimate escape, some Maldives resorts will offer a romantic excursion to a secluded sandbank or deserted island just for the two of you. Enjoy the tranquillity and privacy of your own slice of paradise, with no one else around. Soak up the sun, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, and savour a gourmet picnic provided by your resort. This is the ideal opportunity to spend some quality time with your special someone to share secrets, stories and serenity!
Of course, there’s nothing more romantic than holding a symbolic wedding or renewing your vows on an island paradise! Resorts will organise such experiences that include bespoke ceremonies at a stunning location of your choice including a spellbinding beach backdrop for your dream day. The ceremony can feature cultural elements like traditional Boduberu drummers, as well as a decorated venue with floral arrangements, a celebration cake and a bottle of champagne to celebrate in style!
