If you’re searching for an inviting honeymoon destination, look no further than the Maldives. With its amazing overwater villas, coral reefs, and beautiful lagoons, this paradise in the Indian Ocean is perfect for romance. Whether you're just married or looking to reignite the spark, here are five romantic activities that every honeymoon couple should experience in the Maldives.
Of the most memorable things to do in the maldives on honeymoon, you can’t beat staying in an overwater villa. Usually set above a beautiful lagoon, these Maldivian getaways offer couples complete privacy, great ocean views and direct access to the sea. You can wake up to the sound of waves, have a floating breakfast in your private pool or stargaze on your sun deck at night with a glass of champagne in hand.
There’s nothing more romantic than holding hands while watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean. Couples can reserve a private sunset cruise on a classic Maldivian dhoni or a luxury yacht. The experience will include champagne, canapés, and a crew who will cater to your every need. As the sun goes down, don’t forget to look for dolphins swimming next to your boat. It's a breathtaking sight that makes the moment even more special.
Many resorts also provide customised cruise experiences. These may comprise live music or a candlelit dinner on the deck.
Relaxation and pampering is at the heart of the Maldivian experience. There’s no better way to unwind than with a luxurious couple’s spa treatment. Many island resorts have open-air treatment rooms overlooking the ocean. So, you can soak up the sound of the waves while you get massages, body scrubs or aromatic oil therapies.
For the ultimate indulgence, try a spa ritual that includes a floral foot bath, herbal steam, full-body massage and warm coconut milk bath. Some resorts also offer sunset spa treatments followed by a glass of wine and fresh tropical fruit.
A romantic dinner in the Maldives is an experience all on its own. Resorts like The Nautilus Maldives will organise special dinners for couples on a private sandbank, illuminated by lanterns. A chef will whip up a multi-course gourmet feast while the waves hug the shore and the stars sparkle overhead.
These exclusive sandbank dinners can be tailored to include live music, flowers, or even a surprise dessert for your honeymoon. It's a great way to enjoy a meal in one of the most stunning locations in Asia.
Couples who love adventure will discover a lot to enjoy in the Maldivian waters. The Maldives boasts some of the most colourful coral reefs in the planet, filled with marine life like turtles, manta rays, and reef sharks.
Most resorts provide guided snorkelling or diving excursions for couples, including packages for underwater photography to capture those special moments. If you’re both new to diving, think about taking a beginner’s course together. Snorkelling or diving together isn’t just fun. It’s also a great way to create shared memories that will last.
Don’t miss out on a night snorkelling adventure. Under the night sky, you can view bioluminescent plankton and nocturnal sea creatures.
