How to Spend the Perfect Honeymoon in the Maldives

The Maldives top all of the honeymoon destination lists, but simply going there doesn’t automatically guarantee an amazing honeymoon! So what should you do to ensure that your dream holiday is actually the dream you had hoped for? Follow our 5-step guide and you won’t go wrong!

Velassaru Maldives hotel

Standards of hotels in the Maldives vary. There are islands next to Male with so many hotels on one island that some of them don't even have direct access to the beach. So, if you want to have a really memorable honeymoon, search for the “one island-one hotel” concept. There are hundreds of hotels like this in the Maldives, designed to suit different budgets and different types of travellers - but they all provide absolute privacy since only hotel guests are on the island.

There are hotels with football pitches but this probably isn’t what you want for your honeymoon, right? Instead, search for a boutique hotel with a maximum of 100 villas and you will be rewarded with absolute peace and tranquillity.

Maldivian airways

Some of the hotels are located far from the airport and require up to a one-hour flight to get there. Yes, this makes the trip more expensive (it could add around $1,000 for two people return) but this will be one of the most glorious parts of your journey. Flying low in a seaplane with a barefoot captain over a myriad of tiny, white sand islands surrounded by turquoise water is something you will never forget.

Yes, beach villas are fantastic too but the water villas are so unique! You only find them in a few places in the world and the Maldivians know how to build very special water villas with glass floors and total privacy, so you can sleep on the terrace under thousands of stars and swim naked in the morning after taking just two steps from your bed.

Hotels in the Maldives sure know how to make a couple feel pampered. Each hotel offers a tailored package for honeymooners. Dinners on a platform in the ocean (you will be served food from a dhoni that comes to your platform from the shore), a spa for two under the stars on a nearby island, a sunset cruise with live music just for the two of you (and the playful dolphins!)… There are so many ways to make your holiday special!

  • What could have been nicer than to start the new year with a vacation? It had to be a visit to a warm country however, and this is exactly what happened: we were heading to the sunny resort of Benidorm in Spain. A little paradise on the coast of Costa Blanca greeted us with lovely weather: a warm +17 C, pleasant sunshine, clear blue sky, friendly locals and an incredible number of places to spend a holiday, so plenty to do and see.

  • Phuket is a popular destination for tourists and the perfect place for photography. I spent 6 years on this beautiful island and wanted to have something special as memories I can take home with me. I do have many pictures with vintage backgrounds of Phuket Old Town and crystal clear waters of Phuket beaches, but professional photo shooting made me feel special and save this special moment forever.

  • The real treasure of Bali lies far from its beaches. If you want to see and experience it, you should stay away from the ocean and the 'touristy' Kuta beach. The real pearl of Bali is in its unique culture, atmosphere and nature. Are you ready to explore it with me?

  • When I first came here with my friend, we were speechless... We were nearly in tears as it was beyond our imagination...

  • Located on the sun-drenched northern coast of Mauritius, Le Mauricia, a luxury beachcomber hotel, is cosmopolitan and relaxed, simple yet cosy. The hotel would suit practically everyone's needs - whether you’re a family with children, a happy couple on honeymoon or a group of friends in search of adventure, Le Mauricia resort will be perfect for you.

I’ve been travelling ever since a was a child but my first large trip was at the age of 13 when I was sent to live for a couple months to London. This trip has changed me and ever since I just want to see more and more of our beautiful world. Every trip gives me new emotions, charge and strength to keep going further.
