Honeymoon in the Maldives

16:37 Mon 24th May 2010 |

When you think of the Maldives it should provoke thoughts and images of luxury, tropical bliss and romance. A beautiful string of low-lying coral islands situated in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives used to be one of the world’s best kept secrets. Today however it is a popular holiday destination that has become a paradise for sun worshippers, divers seeking incredible underwater beauty or honeymooners looking for a fairytale getaway.

Destination Paradise:

The beaches are superior, the waters are sparkling blue and the welcome is always warm and friendly. The country’s 26 natural islands offer nautical delights from night fishing or cruise trips, or windsurfing and scuba diving for those who are looking for a more adventurous honeymoon. Many islands embrace enormous lagoons, where blue-green water gently caresses the magnificent white sandy beaches – perfect for a romantic setting. 

If you want to appreciate the true underwater beauty that the Maldives has to offer you should take time out from the romantic strolls and diner dates and go diving or snorkelling. You will witness the exceptional, varied and plentiful underwater life in some of the best diving sites in the world. All of the resorts have professional, fully-equipped diving schools offering a range of activities.

What could be more romantic than a secret island getaway? A honeymoon should be made for two so why not spend a day and night alone on an uninhabited island. Hop to another island, which is secluded and away from the frenzied atmosphere of the other islands and spend time enjoying each other’s company with some of the most spectacular surroundings in the world. If you choose to participate on one of the organised island hopping tours you can also expect beach barbeques in the evenings where you can enjoy a romantic meal cooked for you from fresh- then enjoy a romantic stroll around the deserted island in the moonlight.

For the chance to make that dream a reality, come to the heart of paradise, a place of exotic taste and culture coupled with breathtaking landscape. The Maldives boasts some of the most luxurious accommodation – an enchanting floating palace, surrounded with nothing but the crystal clear waters of the lagoon. As well as amazing housing you will also find a wide choice of naturally inspired chic and exotic resorts, private tours and other honeymoon ideas. You should expect pure luxury, style, privacy, elegance and fine gourmet dining. 

Heart of Paradise:

Massive, dazzling lagoons, fascinating underwater coral gardens and the sun that just keeps on shining all day long and into the evening, providing a beautiful romantic sunset – this really is the perfect natural combination for the ideal tropical honeymoon destination.

The Maldives is a perfect way to getting away from it all and is truly idyllic with unique style and natural beauty. After a day of romantic strolls and sightseeing you will want to relax and be pampered; so book into a spa and indulge in some relaxation treatments where you and your partner can drift off into a calm and peaceful place in preparation for the evening’s entertainment.

Nightlife in the Maldives is both colourful and exciting. Not as organised as other destinations, which works in its favour for those on honeymoon on these fantasy islands, as they are looking for a more laissez-faire nightlife. You will find a small number of quaint bars, pubs and clubs dotted all over the Maldives, however it has its own fair share of fun if you don’t mind travelling to find it- such as the capital city of Male which can be said to be the entertainment capital of the Maldives with a number of bars throughout the city.

Everyone has a dream. A dream of something perfect which is unique in every way. So exceptional that it almost seems unreal…but if you dream of a honeymoon in paradise you are certain to find it in the Maldives. It is a perfect vision of heaven, with its spectacular beauty, combined with world class hospitality.
