Home to some of the world's most spectacular beaches wedding hub of Maldives is also the perfect venue to pop the question. From romantic to daring here are the top ideas for a Maldivian proposal.
Often considered one of the most exciting ways to propose to marriage to the love of one's life a sunset cruise proposal is a one of a kind opportunity to profess one's devotion surrounded by nothing but the vastness of the ocean. Available through countless Maldives luxury hotels a sunset cruise sets off in to the sunset in the late hours of the afternoon, taking couples to a world of their own with nothing but sky and the sea for miles around. A bottle of champagne is also on hand to set the mood to witness the daily miracle of the sun going down and pull out the ring to make the proposal of a lifetime. The choice of vessel can range from a catamaran or a luxury yacht while the on-board menu can also be altered to cater to the whims of the couple.
However traditional it may be the magic and romance of a candle lit dinner for two remains a tried and true favourite among proposal plans for a good reason. Those hoping to pop question in the Maldives have the added advantage of selecting an awe-inspiring setting on the beach for a one of a kind dinner date. Available through resorts such as the PER AQUUM Huvafen Fushi a beach dinner engagement is perfect for conventional couples in search of a simplistic but memorable experience. With the night sky glittering above couples can select a menu of their liking and have a romantic candle light dinner prepared to perfection by the resort's chefs and get engaged to the gentle sound of waves hitting the shores.
Regarded by many to be one of the most attractive natural attributes of Maldivian islands sandbanks are another perfect location to pop the question while on a holiday in the Maldives. As an area that is both connected to the water but also cut off from it couples can gaze out at the vastness before them and enjoy spectacular views of the pristine landscapes that surround them while they enjoy a romantic moment together. With the infinite horizon stretched before one's eyes it's difficult to conceive of a more perfect venue to ask a significant other for a lifelong commitment. Both the morning and the evening are ideal times to head out to a sandbank with a photographer in tow while those who wish to enjoy a meal of canapés and a glass of bubbly to celebrate can also arrange it with the resort.
Often dubbed the perfect excuse to escort one's loved one to a secluded virgin island in the Maldives an island hopping tour can result in a life altering commitment for those who play their cards right. Couples can select an uninhabited virgin island as the venue of choice for their private engagement event and celebration with nothing but breathtaking natural wonders at every turn and a not a soul in sight.
Those who wish to take romance to another level can get down on one knee in the archipelago's underwater chapel or underwater restaurant known as Ithaa while those wish diving capabilities can pull out the ring on a scuba diving tour with vibrant schools of fish and corals standing in as witnesses.
