Bay Breeze

For anyone who loves a taste of pineapple and cranberry with vodka, the best choice of a cocktail is the Bay Breeze. Not surprisingly, there are some variations of this drink such as the Sea Breeze where grape juice is added instead of pineapple juice. You can try to change the taste with different flavoured vodkas.

Pina Colada

Pina Colada is one of the best tropical cocktails, bringing together the flavour of pineapple and coconut with a hunch of white rum or dark rum. The best mix of ingredients is 2 oz. of white rum, 3 oz. of pineapple juice, 1 ½ oz. of cream of coconut or coconut milk, and 1 cup of ice. An optional ¼ oz. of fresh lime juice can be added to enhance the flavour.

Island Exploration

Many of the islands that form the Maldives are uninhabited, so you and your special someone can embark on an iconic island-hopping adventure, becoming the sole-occupants of island after island.

Dive Beneath the Surface

Some of the best attractions the Maldives has to offer are found underneath her waters’ surface. From magnificent Manta Rays to colossal Whale Sharks to kaleidoscopic coral reefs, there’s so much to witness.

Experience a Couple’s Massage

This is definitely one of the most romantic experiences offered by more or less any luxury hotel in Maldives, with examples such as Velassaru Maldives. There’s nothing quite like you and your partner being gently escorted to a realm of bliss and tranquillity by a resort’s wellness experts.

Romantic Dinner Underwater

There are a number of underwater restaurants and/or night-clubs located throughout the Maldives, and these present one of the most unique opportunities to enjoy a romantic dinner with your partner, made even more special by the presence of countless marine animals floating above and around you. This is definitely an experience both of you won’t forget.
