There’s no better place for a honeymoon than the idyllic islands of the Maldives. Surrounded by the waters of the Indian Ocean, this magical archipelago offers more than just overwater villas and luxury spas. Tailor your getaway to the rhythm of the islands’ natural beauty, with a guide to the most romantic, nature-based activities to try in the Maldives.
Swim with Manta Rays
Manta rays can be found virtually everywhere in the Maldives. These graceful creatures are often seen gliding through coral reefs near your luxury resort in Maldives, making swimming with manta rays one of the most accessible, and exciting, things to do here.
Snorkel & Dive with Sharks
For the more adventurous couples, snorkelling with sharks offers a thrilling adventure beneath the waves. From reef sharks flitting through coral gardens to colossal whale sharks that inhabit the deep blue, time your visit for the atoll’s shark season to make the most of the experience.
Kayak Around the Island
Whether it’s sunrise or sunset, kayaking around your resort at places like Kuda Villingili offers a slow, romantic experience on the water. Glide through iridescent lagoons and past coralline shores and take in the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds you.
Escape to a Sandbank
Finally, the most romantic of all – a sandbank escape. Most resorts offer a designer experience set on a quiet, secluded isle, where it’s just you, your partner, and the soft white sands beneath your feet. Enjoy a gourmet picnic or meal set up by your resort, and let the natural beauty of a sandbank do the talking.
