Important things to note

As the Maldives is an Islamic country, you are not legally allowed to get married here, unless of course you’re a local. Weddings in Maldives are more of the celebration rather than the actual marriage – get hitched before you celebrate here.

In an age where the cosmetics industry is ruling the markets, going all natural might have its benefits for the sensitive skinned souls.

 

Lavender
First of all, the smell itself will do wonders in soothing your nerves and calming you down. Furthermore, the properties of lavender oil reduce scarring; stretch marks, and wrinkles too. Lavender oil also has healing properties and can be used on insect bites and rashes. Most therapists in Sri Lanka use essential oils as a part of their treatments, and a typical spa hotel in Galle would have lavender in their treatments, for example.

 

Cranberry
The smell of this berry is sickly sweet and relaxes a person instantly. Cranberry essence is said to relieve joint pains and is, therefore, great oil for therapeutic massages.

 

Geranium
For the people with oily skin, geranium is your lifesaver! Spas and skin therapists swear by its wonders and most spas in tourist beach towns also use it now, like Tamarind Hill for instance. Geranium has antiseptic properties and helps prevent the build-up of sebum, the oils that help bacteria eat up your skin. Dermatitis, eczema, acne, and psoriasis are treated with this magical cure. As for therapy, geranium lightens up your mood, improves blood circulation and is a great cure for depression.

To save yourself, and your guests the trouble of running for cover in the middle of your ‘I do’s’, plan around the wet monsoon season during the months of May to November.

In a very short time span the Maldives islands have become synonymous with luxury vacations and are one of the most dreamt about travel destinations in the world, and for good reason too.

The Beaches

There are hardly any places in the world that offer beaches that match up to the Maldives. The islands of the atolls that form this nation have beaches composed of powdery sands with waters that are a pristine transparent turquoise.

Over-Water Villas

The opportunity to reside in luxurious abodes situated above ocean waters is something that was pioneered in this nation. Nowadays, any given Maldives hotel would have their own unique over-water villas to choose from, with options such as Kandolhu Maldives.

Private Islands

What is more romantic than having an entire pristine tropical island to you and your significant other? In the Maldives, there are many uninhabited islands to choose from. Your resort can arrange everything from transportation to a personalised picnic basket to make your experience unforgettable.

Glowing Beaches

The bioluminescent beaches of the Maldives have become legendary. Walking side by side with your partner along a beach that is illuminated by the ambient glow of neon ocean water is definitely something out of a dreamscape.
