Ideally, stay at properties which offer a sunrise breakfast by the beach, a gourmet picnic lunch on a sandbank and a floating afternoon tea in your villa pool. As the day draws to a close, you can consider sunset dining on a sheltered part of the shore or an intimate dinner in a jungle area; another option would be to curl up with your partner and savour snacks and wine as you enjoy a private movie screening on the beach!

Holistic Spa Rejuvenation
Experiencing holistic healing with diverse and bespoke spa treatments should be a quintessential part of a holiday in the Maldives not only during Valentine’s Day but whenever you visit. Resorts here give you a chance to enjoy such rejuvenating rituals at an overwater spa that will awaken the senses and put you both in the mood for romance! Some properties will feature a head-to-toe treatment lasting over one hundred minutes for couples as well as spa bath treatments and discounted private spa experiences for two.

Distinctive Experiences
Active couples can incorporate plenty of memorable things to do in Maldives during this time too.
