Considering a romantic getaway in the Maldives? There’s a reason this destination is one of the world’s best for honeymoons. The natural beauty and seclusion of the Maldives’ many topical islands make for an incredibly romantic vacation.
1. Win the Prize for the Most Romantic Dinner Date, Ever
When it comes to romantic dinner date settings, the Maldives has some winners.
If you’re staying at a resort, look into the private dining experiences. It’s very common for Maldivian resorts to set up an exclusive and intimate dinner date for couples on request.
You could have one set up in your villa if yours has a private deck.
If not, nothing says romance better than an evening on the beach. Enjoy your dinner by lamplight in a secluded spot by the waves, with soft sand under your toes and the whisper of the ocean in your ears.
Or, how about dinner in a real-life aquarium, metres under the sea? For those that want to take it up a notch and shake things up from the traditional dinner-on-the-beach concept, the Maldives has something else to offer: underwater dining.
Wine and dine your better half before the see-through walls and/or ceilings of an underwater restaurant. Experience the magic of life beneath the waves in real-time as you sip on fine wine and graze on delectable culinary creations.
2. Hide Away in an Overwater Pool Villa
Overwater or water pool villas in the Maldives are ideal hideaways for couples in love. A world of their own, they offer peace and quiet as well as the ocean as your backyard.
Spend blissful days drinking in each other’s company. Sip champagne on a private pool deck that overlooks the endless blues of the Indian Ocean.
With nothing before you except the vastness of the ocean and sky, overwater villas truly offer a sense of peaceful seclusion - just what you need to spend quality time with your better half.
A private plunge pool means that you can take a dip in the cooling waters together whenever the whim takes you, whether that’s under the tropical sun or a twinkling blanket of stars at midnight.
In the particular pool villa shown above (at the Intercontinental Maamunagau Resort), the ocean never leaves you. Feel the salty sea breeze ruffle your hair even as you indulge in a soothing soak in your bathtub.
It’s hard to not let your hair down and be present in the moment with your significant other when you have the luxury and seclusion of a water pool villa to yourself in the Maldives.
3. Renew your Vows or Celebrate your Commitment to One Another
The Maldives has countless other activities that count as romantic, such as the below, to name just a few:
- Sunset yacht cruises
- Couple’s spa therapies
- Snorkelling dates
- Movie night on the beach
However, one truly romantic experience that is easy to orchestrate in the Maldives is a renewal of your vows, or a ceremony celebrating your commitment to one another. This could be an event simply for the two of you or one that involves family and friends who have travelled with you.
When you stand side by side, before the timeless beauty of the Indian Ocean, it just lends a whole new level of depth to the words you exchange. Most Maldivian resorts are used to putting together beautiful, barefoot ceremonies on the beach for such occasions, and have dedicated teams that can really make the magic happen.
All you have to do is say the word.
