Whether you are a truly romantic couple, someone who loves fun-filled vacations, or simply looking for a place that will rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul with its serene beauty, the Maldives is a mix of it all. And as a couple, you should not stop doing these ten romantic things on your honeymoon in the Maldives:
- Take an early morning walk on the beach – wake up to a stunning sunrise on your honeymoon in the Maldives. Take a walk hand in hand or just sit on the white sand beach, enjoying the gentle warmth of the sun and the water moving from side to side.
- Dive Together – Dive into the ocean with your beloved and witness stunning marine life, exploring the underwater beauty in the Maldives. You can also try snorkeling to discover a world of colorful and exotic fish and a rich variety of coral reefs. Two of the best places to dive are Tewa Stross and Ari Atoll.
- Escape to the underwater world: plan a date with your better half underwater at Ithaa restaurant. It is an underwater glass restaurant that will leave you with an unforgettable experience. And if you are a lover of European cuisine, this is a perfect place for you. Many people reserve it for private ceremonies and occasions like weddings, while for couples, it can easily be converted into a romantic bedroom surrounded by stunning aquatic life. In the morning, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast served with some champagne.
- Island hopping for an extraordinary experience: Lose yourself in the majestic beauty of this region and enjoy an island hopping journey. It is the best way to take a tour of the country and its amazing spas through the serene waters of the sea. You will be able to explore the local inhabited islands, learning about the daily life of the local people, the Maldivian culture and its flora and fauna. Island hopping is one of the main activities that one should not miss.
- Indulge in Couples Spa Treatments – Nothing feels better than enjoying a spa or massage with your partner. So when you’re in the Maldives, don’t forget to pamper yourself with refreshing couples spa treatments and share some romantic moments on your honeymoon.
- Wine and dinner under a starry sky: toast to a new beginning with your soulmate under the sky full of sparkling stars, experiencing the most romantic dinner on the beach. Since the Maldives is known for its diverse variety of cuisines, you can choose from a multitude of options for that very special occasion. Go to a themed restaurant or enjoy a private candlelit dinner in a secluded spot right on the beach.
- Touring the capital of the Maldives: Take some time off from your resort and enjoy an excursion to Malé, the capital of the island of the Maldives. Here, you will get an overview of Maldivian city life and culture. Take a walk through the streets, visit the main market and take a dip in the artificial pool on the beach. There are also many attractions that you can include in your Malé tour, such as Sultan Park, the President’s Palace, the National Museum and the Friday Mosque.
- Create magical moments with a glow-in-the-dark beach: Have you ever heard of a glow-in-the-dark beach? No, we are not kidding. In some parts of the beaches (mainly Mudhdhoo Island) in the Maldives, you will witness this magic and feel like you are living a dream. But there is a science behind this. There are certain organisms called ostracod crustaceans in the water that light up the beach at night, turning it into a starry sky. For a peek, you can choose to stay at properties like Dusit Thani, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, and Angsana Ihuru.
- Sailing on sparkling waters: Your honeymoon is incomplete if you don’t have a cruise on your bucket list. If you want to experience a true taste of luxury in the Maldives, this is the place. Imagine yourself enjoying the cruise under the bright white moonlight, sipping on some sparkling water and heading deep into the heart of the Maldives.
- Take a Submarine Ride Underwater: Add a little adventure to your honeymoon in the Maldives by exploring the vivid blue ocean through a submarine ride with your loved one. The best way to do this is to book a whale watching submarine off Male from your resort that will take you deep into the waters where you’ll discover everything from shipwrecks to sharks.
