Knowing what you want

First, congratulations on getting through a tough-wedding planning season. Now’s the time you truly give yourself and your partner a break far, far away. Well of course, a honeymoon is always a mutual decision and so newlyweds need to really think of the ideal place to devote themselves to each other. Couples can surround themselves in the brightness of a beach holiday with lots of sand at their feet or even tuck themselves away in lush gardens for a more refreshing experience. For those on the more adventurous side, camping in the hills or even an exciting tour around some fantastic destinations is on the cards.

Choosing your destination

If you are looking for a tropical holiday amidst golden beaches and beautiful resorts, then places like Maldives and Sri Lanka will do you good. Both are islands and have a host of activities and experiences awaiting honeymooners. Maldives is the more favoured choice of the two and is well known for its exotic beaches. If you would like to settle for beaches enshrouded in greenery, then Phuket, Thailand offers exquisite hideaways. Phuket villas are quite a sensation among honeymooners and beachside escapes like Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas offer an ideal choice. If you would like to take a tour over the scenic mountains in a cable car, then Europe is the place as picturesque views and tranquil ambience will make your honeymoon a romantic memory.

Make sure you make memories

Your honeymoon comes just once a lifetime and so it’s important to make memories that will never leave you. Take plenty of pictures and videos while you document the fun experiences of your honeymoon. These memories let you relive such special days of bliss.

Don’t forget to pamper yourself a bit more

Treat that special someone to a wonderfully created cuisine specially laid out for two in surroundings and setting of your preference. Make sure you have a private butler at your service as you enjoy a hands-free holiday at your favourite destination with the most important person right by our side. What more could you ask for?!

Maldives is probably one of the first options that come to mind when you plan a romantic holiday or your honeymoon. The allure of white and silken beaches alongside miles and miles of calm and translucent waters is nothing short of romantic. There are many reasons to enjoy a romantic holiday in the Maldives. If you and your better half both enjoy the marine life of the Indian Ocean, you are in for a treat. From mammoth whale sharks to manta rays and tiny schools of multicoloured fish, the waters are brimming with life and vibrancy. The exquisite coral reefs and the aquatic life make it the ideal place for a snorkeling tour.

Island hopping is an equally great idea to experience the best of the Maldives with your loved one. With around 1192 atolls most of which are uninhabited, the Maldives archipelago is nothing short of surprising and exotic.

There are quite a few luxury hotels in Maldives to choose from such as the PER AQUUM Huvafen Fushi Maldives and others, who will be able to accommodate you during your adventures on the islands.

The glowing beach of Maldives is another infamous destination. Vaadhoo Island’s beach is well known for the fact that the beach comes aglow in the darkness of night, in the most beautiful shades of electric blue. The reason for this, is the unusual glowing tide that washes over the coast during the nighttime. Starry skies above and blue sparkles beneath; magical much?

Male, the capital city of Maldives is also another beautiful place to explore while on a romantic vacation. With an abundance of museums that display the nation’s rich heritage, mosques and art galleries, the capital city is packed full of fun things to do.
