In the Maldives, budget honeymoons can still be unforgettable and utterly romantic if you choose the right resort and here are some special experiences you can enjoy.

Have Sandbank Picnic

Plan an intimate escape to a secluded sandbank for two; ideally, your Maldives resort will provide a dhoni (traditional boat) ride to such a sandbank or a remote island where you can snorkel and laze in the sands to your heart’s content. When hunger strikes, savour a chilled picnic lunch served with drinks amidst this sublime topical paradise.

Indulge in Couples’ Spa Rituals

There’s no better way to relax on your honeymoon than getting a couples’ massage on a shared journey of wellness. To make this experience more magical, resorts like Kurumba Maldives offer outdoor treatments under the stars which include an aromatic bathing ritual, golden cowry shell massage, head massage as well as chocolate-dipped fruits and champagne!

Take a Private Sunset & Dolphin Cruise

Another of the popular honeymoon activities in Maldives is to embark on a private sunset and dolphin cruise; as you journey into an unending horizon and take in the spellbinding view of the setting sun, you also have a chance to spot spinner or bottlenose dolphins swimming and frolicking amidst the water. It will be an experience to truly treasure.

Enjoy Dining by the Sea

As the day ends, you can surprise your sweetheart with a romantic beach dinner! Many resorts will organise such intimate dining by the shore at a special area set up with delectable courses and fine wine. Best of all is the setting where you can enjoy the sights and serenades of the ocean, while myriads of stars twinkle above.

The planner will get in touch with all the service providers and ensure that everything goes according to schedule.

The ‘Bodu Katheeb’ or island chief can act as your efficient and perform traditional Maldivian rituals. A Maldivian drum performance is also a great addition if you want that traditional local feeling.

The best time for a wedding is in the evening because the air is much cooler. The most romantic ceremonies are the ones that begin just before the sun sets. Most often a Maldives resort will arrange for a few local practices to be included in your event. For instance, some hotels offer a coconut tree planting ceremony to celebrate the love between the couple. Maldives luxury resorts have their own private beach area making it an ideal location for a beach ceremony.
