Why visit Maldives for honeymoon?
Why go to the Maldives when there are so many other beautiful tropical destinations around the world?. The one island, one resort concept is without a doubt the Maldives’ most distinguishing feature. Each resort is located on its own private island, creating a private and tranquil environment.
The Maldives is also known for its lush natural surroundings and wildlife, as well as resorts that are designed to blend in with the surroundings. Many of the properties are currently very eco-friendly, with a particular emphasis on preserving natural wildlife.
Essentially, no matter where you stay, you’ll be on a private island, which is a huge benefit for couples looking for a super private, intimate experience away from crowds and the tourist traps.
The Maldives is well-known for its beautiful overwater bungalows, which many resorts provide, enhancing the privacy factor even further. Overwater bungalows in the Maldives are far more private than in any other destination. You will feel as if you have the entire island to yourself. Most of of these bungalows are attached to a private pool and have direct beach access.
Similarly, an outstanding standard of distinct service has become the Maldivian hospitality’s signature. Concierge services and personal butlers are available at all times. The point is, if you want to visit a stunning, luxurious beach destination that also provides complete privacy and exquisite personalized service, the Maldives is the place to visit.
How to reach Maldives?
The Maldives are a group of 26 ring-shaped atolls and hundreds of islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean, about 1,270 miles south of India. Emirates, Qatar, FlyDubai, and British Airways all have scheduled flights through Dubai, Qatar, and Singapore. All of these flights land at Velana International Airport in Malé, the country’s capital city. Depending on where your resort is located, you’ll board a speed boat, sea plane, or domestic flight.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
There really is no bad time to visit the Maldives; temperatures remain fairly consistent throughout the year, ranging from 78 to 87 degrees Fahrenheit.
Though the rainy season lasts from May to September, there are some advantages to traveling during this time. Not only do prices drop because it’s low season, but there are also unique experiences out there for everyone, such as spotting manta rays, and it’s a good time for anglers to catch larger fish.
What to See and Do in the Maldives?
It is essential to visit a sandbank with your partner for a secluded short getaway. Grab your snorkeling gear and head out to the pristine lagoon, which is home to an abundance of coral reefs and a variety of marine life, including many endangered species such as turtles, whale sharks, and manta rays.
Many resorts offer special snorkeling excursions to see whale sharks and manta rays, as well as scuba diving excursions to see tiger sharks and other interesting marine life. There are also options to dine underwater and experience wellness programs. There is even an underwater bungalow all to yourself if you want to experience a honeymoon getaway underwater like Paris Hilton did.
Fishing, jet skiing, paddle boarding, and cruising are all excellent options for a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon in the Maldives. All of the resorts have spas, and many of them offer exciting daily excursions.
