So you finally decided on a honeymoon in the Maldives! You will not be disappointed, because the islands of romance can certainly deliver when it comes to enchanting experiences in the tropics. But in case you need more convincing, here are some top honeymoon experiences in the Maldives to savour.
Go ahead and splurge; it's your honeymoon and the best time to enjoy an island getaway. The best types of accommodation for honeymooning couples are the luxury villas in Maldives. These awesome abodes not only offer complete privacy but are also self-sufficient little oases, guaranteed to make you feel as if you are the only ones on a tropical island. Villas are equal to your own private paradise and can be selected from a range of styles. Most open right onto the white sand beaches, and come complete with a private pool, tropical garden surroundings, and even overwater decks. You get to wake up to the gentle swish of the ocean and dive right in, from the terrace of your Maldivian villa.
Private yacht tours across the Indian Ocean are very romantic, especially when it's just the two of you and the crew. You can choose to chill on the deck with a glass of bubbly, stop at sandbars and enjoy a romantic picnic, and even relish a sunset at sea—the views don't get any better than a perch from the water as the sky turns into a golden dome of fiery orange.
Indulge in a spa day at your Maldives resort. You can unwind and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul at world-class wellness centres located within resorts in the Maldives. For example, some places like Niyama Private Islands Maldives are popular for their honeymoon packages. Such treatment plans give you a choice of ancient traditional treatments, as well as popular luxurious therapies from Paris to Beverly Hills—perfect for spending time with the one you love, and relaxing after a hectic few months of planning your wedding. There is nothing like pampering yourself at a Maldivian spa.
Forget standard candle-lit dinners inside a restaurant, because in the Maldives, couples dining is a whole new experience. You can choose to eat at exotic locations anywhere on your private island resort. The most popular option is starlit beach dining, where you can enjoy a gourmet meal cooked to perfection, alongside serenades from professional musicians to accompany your enchanting meal. This can be followed by a walk along the soft sandy beach, as the waves lap at your feet.
Night fishing is a popular sport in the Maldives, and also a very romantic experience. You are taken out to sea just as the sun is setting and the first stars begin to dot the night sky. Dinner and bubbly can be organised on the tour, while you fish for silvery jackfish and grouper, found in the waters under the light of the moon. Most resorts offer couples the choice of having a personalised meal, with whatever they catch cooked on a deserted island beach by a private chef. It's all very romantic, and a once-in-lifetime type of experience you will remember forever.
