5 Romantic Things to Do in Maldives—Exploring the Islands of Love

Consider joining a sunset cruise into the folds of the Indian Ocean as the sky is a blaze of orange hues. However, this is no ordinary cruise; this one will treat you to an up-close and personal encounter with dolphins. The waters surrounding the Maldives are home to dolphins, especially the Bottlenose variety, and the lovable sea mammals are a thrill to observe. There are several private island resorts in the Maldives like Bandos Maldives offering free sunset dolphin spotting cruises, as a part of their bespoke honeymoon bliss offer. The best of these Maldives honeymoon offers are designed to suit your needs and come with personalised experiences that will have you falling in love all over again. Booking your sunset cruise through your resort in the Maldives means the tour will be responsibly managed. Ethical tours are designed to not stress the gentle creatures, while you get to enjoy watching them in their natural habitat. It is also a good opportunity to enjoy front-row seats to a magnificent sunset and then enjoy the bliss of being under a blanket of stars as you cruise back.

Visiting the local islands as well as the uninhabited ones is quite the experience. A trip to an island village means you both get to learn more about the communities and their lifestyles. Get into a conversation with the local elders, perhaps watch a fresh catch being dragged in, and if you are both lucky, you may even be invited to partake in a traditional home-cooked meal. Island hopping tours also include stops at uninhabited islands where you get to explore the verdant interiors, swim in isolated bays, and chill on the white sand beach with the one you love.

A picnic on a sandbank is quite enchanting. If you ask your Maldives resort they will be more than happy to organise one for you, or it just may be included in your Maldives honeymoon package. Sandbank picnics are the ultimate indulgence where you get to relax in total privacy on a sun-kissed stretch of sand in the middle of the ocean. Relax, soak up the sun, dip in the crystal clear water, and enjoy a variety of delicious delights made to order, including all your favourites and some island specials. Take along the bubbly to celebrate your love and make the most of your time in the sun.

Snorkelling in the Maldives is a thrill, plus it's a basic watersport that anyone with swimming skills can enjoy. All you need are a snorkel, mask, and fins to explore the house reef of your private island resort. Since the archipelago is made up of coral islands, the views below the waves are quite stupendous; you will be treated to sights of beautiful coral formations in all shapes and hues, as well as pretty reef fish, that can be seen darting about. The occasional turtle will swim by you while some snorkellers have even been approached by a friendly dolphin or two. If you are both serious about your snorkelling experience, you can book a snorkelling boat excursion and head out further to some of the best locations for enjoying the sport. 

This is one of the more popular packages offered at Maldives resorts where couples get to chronicle their romantic holiday in style. Professional photographers can be hired to snap up magical shots of you both posing amidst the tropical allures of the Maldives. Some of the best resorts in North Male Atoll make sure each moment is magically captured, giving you plenty of opportunity to look back and remember the most romantic holiday you ever took.
