Honeymoon In the Maldives

Honeymoon in the Maldives | The Honeymoon Guide

Why Go

A honeymoon in the Maldives is the ultimate island fantasy. Picture 26 atolls scattered across the Indian Ocean, with palm-fringed beaches, soft white sand and lagoons in every shade of blue.

Most couples fly into Malé and head straight to their resort – each one its own private island. From ultra-luxury hideaways with private pools and butlers to livelier spots with beach parties and sports, there’s a resort to match every honeymoon vibe.

Beach villas are beautiful, but the classic Maldivian experience is an overwater villa. All-inclusive packages keep things simple and within budget but higher end resorts let you tailor every detail and pay the bill at the end.

And it’s not just about lying on the sand! You can snorkel or dive with reef life, stargaze, kayak, hit the spa, catch a beach movie or dine underwater. Some resorts even offer water slides, coral planting or bubble domes for a twist.

Is it worth the hype? We think so. The Maldives is one of the most romantic places on earth – pure paradise, with plenty to do whether you’re active or happily horizontal by the pool.
