Romancing the blues in the Maldives
THE ISLAND NATION with its 26 atolls is an exquisite paradise nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean that has pristine beaches, azure waters, and luxurious resorts ensuring endless romantic experiences and ample privacy. Newly-wed couples can indulge in a quiet yacht ride around the island; go for a candlelit beach dinner under the stars; or watch a romantic movie on a giant screen outdoors. If you are looking for something more exclusive, dine at an underwater restaurant at the Conrad Maldives or inside a wine cellar at the St. Regis. Watching the golden sunset here, either from the deck of your villa or cuddled in a hammock from your resort's beach is truly an unforgettable experience-you may not have seen so many shades of yellow and orange in the sky ever before!
Start your day with a serene yoga session by the beach followed by a floating breakfast in your very own private pool in the overwater villa. Many resorts here also facilitate fun activities like private art sessions on a secluded island, where you get to take home your creation as a souvenir of the trip, or a couple's massage at a scenic spa, while watching a school of dolphins hop by. Spend your evenings strolling along the shores; snorkelling amidst colourful coral reefs and exotic fish; and partying at a beach club! visitmaldives.com
