Congratulations, you’re going to get married! Everything is arranged but one thing- your honeymoon. This time-honored tradition needs to be something really special, a memory the two of you will share forever. There are so many different options, but the most popular is a holiday on a tropical island. It just so happens that we know the perfect destination that will be sure to fulfill all your honeymoon dreams- The Maldives!
The Maldives is a chain of beautiful tropical islands in the Indian Ocean. It is thought that the name Maldives comes from the ancient Sanskrit mālādvīpa meaning “garland of islands”, and indeed they are a chain of rare exotic flowers floating in a sapphire sea. If this sounds enticing to you, then book your honeymoon stay in one of the fabulous luxury villas in the Maldives. The friendly, professional staff will cater to your every whim as you bask in the multitude of comforts at hand. Now, let’s consider how you will spend your special time together during your stay here in paradise!
The Maldives are all about the beaches! Get up early to enjoy a refreshingly cool pre-dawn swim, then warm up with a hot cup of kalhu sai black tea, the national drink! You can cuddle on the sand as you watch the sunrise, knowing there is a whole day of fun and adventure awaiting you.
Next up is breakfast, served wherever you like it, in your room or on the beach, it’s all up to you! Take a walk on the white sandy beach to digest, then get ready for one of the biggest highlights of your stay- snorkelling the nearby reef!
Bring your own gear if you wish, but the hotel can provide you with everything you need; a dive mask, snorkel, and swim fins to transform you into an aquatic adventurer! Imagine holding hands as you effortlessly float together on a calm sea, gazing down at the undersea wonderland of fantastic corals and playful reef fish darting around the coral spires and fans like colourful birds in a magical sunken forest! Charming sea turtles can often be seen, and if you are lucky, you might be visited by cavorting spinner dolphins! It’s an experience you will never forget, just the two of you surrounded by the otherworldly beauty of the tropical sea.
All that snorkeling is bound to make you hungry, so report back to your luxury villa and its many bars and restaurants for some delicious lunch! Do what the locals do and sample some scrumptious short eats, the local equivalent of tapas. Kulhi boakibaa spicy fish cakes followed by rice pudding will give you the strength you need to have fun throughout the day!
There are a myriad of activities on land and sea for you to partake in on these enchanted isles, be sure to check with the Maldives government tourism website for ideas before you visit. Finish off your day lounging by the pool and sharing the joy of your perfect Maldives honeymoon!
