Honeymoon Planning: Discover the Maldives

If you are looking for a place to have your honeymoon, the Maldives is a good choice to make. This long hidden treasure in the Indian ocean is a perfect gem for honeymooners. This is a place where time feels like it has slowed down and you will feel like you have discovered heaven.

The Maldives is made up of 26 atolls and over a thousand islands south of Sri Lanka. You and your loved one will wake up to the delicious sea breeze and luxuriate in the beauty of living, at least for a few days, on a tropical paradise. You can swim in the sea and work up an appetite.

You can have fun together, with the variety of water sports or you can simply cuddle up and get really cozy like the honeymooners you are. If you prefer water sports, there’s swimming, water skiing, diving, parasailing, wind surfing, snorkeling and even fishing. If you want to get out of the water for a bit, you can go play tennis or beach volleyball; maybe even play some boardgames or go karaoke.

The sky is one of the most romantic things about the Maldives. There is nothing like a spectacular sunrise or sunset; and this is the case everyday in this beautiful place. You should choose a room that matches which aspect of the sun you prefer. The advantage of choosing sunset is that you can watch the stars come out once the sun sets, and if you’ve lived all your life in a city, this will be a real treat. The sky is clear and bright and you’ll be amazed at how beautiful the stars are.

One of the best resorts to stay in at the Maldives is the Soneva Gili Resort and Spa. The resort is a ten minute boat ride out of Male, the capital of Maldives. You will find that the accommodations are all on stilts, so you are literally sleeping over the ocean. They are made from local materials and each features your own over water sun deck and roof top. If you want even more privacy, choose one of the seven Robinson Crusoe residences. These can only be accessed by personal boat so you truly will be alone at last.

If you are looking more for an island getaway, the Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru may suit you more. The shell shaped villas are hidden by lush gardens to give you privacy. Each villa faces the beach so that you get the wonderful sea breezes. They even have four poster king beds for those who want a wide mattress to sleep on at night.

A third place that you may want to consider is the Sun Island resort. It is the biggest resort in the Maldives. You get deluxe room accomodations on the southern Ari Atoll with beautiful white sand beaches, coconut trees and the crystal clear waters of the island. This is perfect for those who like looking at the beach but not swimming it. They have a large swimming pool that you can enjoy during your stay.

No matter which resort you stay in, make sure to try out the available massages. They are absolutely heavenly! They are a great way to relax even further on your honeymoon.
