The food

Maldivian cuisine is known for its palatable flavours and unique taste. Rihaakuru, Mas Huni and Dhon Riha are some of the best delicacies that are guaranteed to tantalise your taste buds.

Cost

Destination weddings are much less costly to conventional weddings mostly due to the limited number of guests. Wedding packages offered by resorts are also reasonable and inclusive of all the wedding necessities.

When deciding on your location first sit down with your partner and decide what kind of backdrops or weddings venues you most prefer; it can be on a secluded beach, in an enchanting forest or even indoors in a grand ballroom. Choose your destination accordingly.

Choose the Type of Ceremony

Apart from the location, you should also decide what style or type of ceremony you want to have. While you can host a typical western style celebration, many countries also give couples the option of celebrating their wedding in keeping with local customs and ceremonies.

Look for Special Packages

Hosting weddings abroad can be quite an added cost though to help couples many hotel chains such as Berjaya Hotels & Resorts offer specialised packages; these include great deals and benefits from the planning and hosting stages to the honeymoon.

Keep the Honeymoon in Mind

To experience the best and relaxed honeymoon, spend from 10 to 12 days in the tropics of Maldives.

The peak season for tourism in the Maldives is usually from April to November as it is the summer. The beaches may get quite crowded during this time as it is a watersport haven.

Before you start your romantic adventure in the Maldives, do a bit of research and plan well to avoid any kind of disappointments. Pick a Maldives resort hotel that offers activities for a couple while giving them space and the privacy they require.

Romantic activities for two are in plentiful in the Maldives. The two of you can bond over a couple’s spa day. Enjoy a fragrant bath of essential oils and flower petals and settle down to let a professional therapist work out the tension in your body while the two of you listen to soothing music and the sound of the waves in the ocean. Most resorts such as Anantara Veli Maldives Resort offer spa facilities to guests. Go for a scuba dive together and explore the vibrant reefs for sea creatures. An occasional turtle might pass you by. Book a passage in a luxury sea cruise and enjoy each other’s company while you traverse the seas in luxurious style.

Savour the goodness of your favourite seafood dish with your loved one under the twinkling stars while the night’s sky infuses a romantic aura around you. Instead of spending your whole vacation on one island, opt to “hop” islands with your partner on a sea plane to explore all that Maldives has to offer in terms of locations and hues of the sea.

To end your romantic getaway in style, book a ride on a submarine. These 45-minute rides will take you deep under to see everything from sharks to shipwrecks.

Top 3 Exotic Beach Wedding Destinations in Thailand

Thailand, an exotic land that holds many wonders for all different types of travellers, be it the adventurous or the romantic. If you’re one of the latter and wish to make your love story legal in Thailand, there are more than a couple of beach destinations choose from. We have picked out the crème de la crème of these, so read on to find out.

Koh Samui- This beautiful island, the second largest in Thailand, has for many years been a top choice when it comes to choosing a beach wedding venue in Thailand, and with its many pristine beaches and the lush mountainous rainforest, it’s no wonder why. Koh Samui has also been ranked among the most romantic destinations in the world.

Phuket- Home of some of Thailand’s best beaches from Mai Khao to Freedom Beach, and Banana Beach, Phuket is the very definition of what a tropical island should be. Being the largest island in Thailand, Phuket acts as a gateway to many of the southern islands such as the Similan Islands and the Phi Phi Islands. Being the largest also means there’s plenty of room for all, so you can find many quiet and secluded beaches like Bang Tao and Surin. And the reason why Phuket wins over Samui is that there are many airlines offering domestic flights from the mainland as well as from direct international flights. And if you want your beach wedding to be one of absolute extravagance and luxury, wedding venues such as those by Anantara Hotels, Resort & Spa; come with many facilities as well as special beach wedding offers, so you will be saving a little too.

Hua Hin- Though it doesn’t have many gorgeous beaches as much as Samui and Phuket, Hua Hin is definitely one of the top contenders for beach destinations in Thailand. Its strongest point lies in being the closest to the capital by 3 hours. Thus your guests can conveniently travel to and fro from Bangkok. Hua Hin is also home to many beautiful buildings such as the stunning train station, which can be the backdrop for your wedding pre-shoot.

Romantic Destination Dining in Maldives

by auburn Posted on

The ultimate romantic destination, the Maldives presents a buffet of romantic dining options to choose from, to create intimate moments that last a lifetime. Some of the best romantic dining options are offered by luxury hotels. Maldives has an abundance of those like PER AQUUM Huvafen Fushi Maldives.

One of the most popular experiences would be sunset dining near the beach. You could tuck into a delicious lobster thermidor with your partner while watching the ball of flame-orange that is the sun sink into the mysterious depths of the sea. Ask your server to pair your dish with their best rose champagne or a sparkling wine.

Some restaurants offer you the chance to dine below the sea. Sit at your beautifully decorated table and savour each and every bite of your food while you watch the cerulean waters that surround your dining area flow with vibrant and gleeful life. What better way to celebrate that special bond that you share?

You could also opt to sit at the edge of a jetty with a clear view of the sea below and dine on dishes presented to you with an eye for design as well as an intuition for pleasing flavours.

You could sample raw seafood, freshly caught at a pavilion restaurant overlooking the sea. Listen to the waves lapping against wood and enjoy the subtle taste of slices of raw sea bass, Gohu Ikan in a bed of chili mix and basil leaves or bite into delicious sashimi to savour the elusive romantic flavor of simple and fresh dishes.

For a surreal experience, dine on a table immersed in the infinity pool under the silver stars. You can book your private dining experience and enjoy each other’s company and indulge your taste buds surrounded by water.
