Maldives

When it comes to a country that exudes romance and offers the perfect setting for a destination wedding, you can hardly find a better choice than the Maldives and here’s more that couples should know.

The Legalities

You may be surprised to know that while in the Maldives, destination weddings are very popular, those featuring two foreign nationals are not legally binding. However, don’t let that stop you from planning a wedding or renewal of vows ceremony here! Many couples tend to have a legally-binding wedding or register the marriage in their home country and have an enchanting and symbolic ceremony in this tropical paradise.

Resorts & Locations

For such a ceremony, the ideal choice would be an island resort with options like OBLU SELECT Lobigili being even more suitable since it’s exclusively for adults only adding to the privacy. The great thing is, such properties provide a choice of location for your special day; a secluded beach that’s been decorated and set amidst infinite ocean views is a perennial favourite, though some resorts even give couples a chance to renew their vows on a heart-shaped sandbank for two!

Types of Ceremonies

Those planning to tie the knot can look to have a conventional Western-style ceremony where the bride and groom wear typical wedding attire that makes for mesmerising pictures as well. That said, some resorts will offer the choice to incorporate more traditional local aspects for a truly distinctive Maldives wedding. It can include a “Bodu Beru” drum procession, Maldivian attire, a wedding officiant or dedicated ceremony master and delectable local snacks.

Special Additions

Resorts here will make your destination wedding even more unforgettable with certain inclusions on, during and after your special day. These can include transporting the couple to the ceremony location in a decorated buggy, a three-tier wedding cake-cutting ceremony, a curated wedding gift hamper, a bottle of champagne and a four-course, candlelit beach dinner. You could also stay at a luxurious beach or overwater villa with a private pool and sunset views for a magical honeymoon too!

Private Island Resorts

Choosing to stay at a resort on a private island is a must, though, for the ultimate privacy, properties like OBLU SELECT Sangeli take it a step further by offering a separate adults-only island. Such resorts will have a special overwater honeymoon suite with a private pool, sundeck with sunbeds and direct lagoon access, while a welcome bottle of champagne and a dedicated butler service add to the experience.

Wellness Journeys

Be it after your wedding or vow renewal in Maldives, you can look to enjoy sublime holistic healing at a resort spa. Choose such a sanctuary where you and your partner can get pampered at a treatment room for couples. Apart from modern wellness rituals, choose a spa that also incorporates Maldivian therapies including a full-body coconut shell massage and coconut body scrubs.

Intimate Dining

Mealtimes on your honeymoon in Maldives can be just as magical with the island setting providing enchanting backdrops. Not to be missed is an intimate candlelit, four-course dinner with wine on a sheltered part of the beach, amidst the soothing sights and serenades of the ocean. Some resorts even offer a champagne breakfast or a “floating breakfast” in your villa’s private pool!

Memorable Experiences

When it comes to romantic things to do here on a honeymoon, couples can embark on a moonlight cruise under a sky blanketed with a myriad of stars. For something different, you can also go dolphin watching or visit a local island to experience local culture. Newlyweds in search of added adventures won’t be disappointed either with snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, parasailing and more on offer.

A romantic getaway in Whistler

by Caliope Sage Posted on

Are you planning on having another night of Netflix and chilling on the couch with your other half? If you answered ‘yes’ to that, then it’s time to plan a romantic getaway that does not involve cheesy movies and unhealthy snacks. The snow-capped mountains and some dope slopes in Whistler mountains are the perfect destinations to check out!

Explore by floatplane

The best way to discover beautiful Whistler is via floatplane. This unforgettable ride is scary, exciting and memorable for sure. You can capture unparalleled views of the countless lakes and the surrounding landscapes. However, this doesn’t come cheap. You can get a 30 min flight around Whistler for around CAD 200; if you can splurge a bit more, you can enjoy an alpine lake landing with lunch.

Brandywine Falls

You must visit Brandywine Falls when you’re here. It’s located on the outskirts of the main town just 15 mins away from Whistler ski area hotels such as the luxurious Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside. The waterfall is amazing on its own but the site is also a stunning lookout spot over the valley below. If you’re on your way to Vancouver or heading to Whistler from that way, you must stop here and take in the scenic views.

Joffre Lakes

Located just outside of Whistler, the Joffre Lakes is a sight to behold with stunning mountain peaks and glistening blue water everywhere your eye meets. This is one of the most popular hiking trails in British Colombia. The hike itself is quite rewarding with scenic views that will take your breath away but the real prize is the three lakes at the end of the main trail surrounded by a beautiful pine forest.

The River of Golden Dreams

The River of Golden Dreams sounds like the perfect honeymoon couple’s destination. You can take a romantic, relaxing kayak ride down the river with your loved one for a unique experience. You can explore the beautiful surroundings with your better half, starting from Alta Lake.

Plan your Romantic Getaway in Namibia

by CatalinaC Forbes Posted on

Have you ever imagined experiencing a romantic getaway in the wilds of Africa? Well, if you have, few destinations on the continent can match what Namibia has to offer. Here’s a closer look at how you can plan an amorous adventure in this fascinating country.

When to Visit

Before you pack up everything and head off to Africa with your partner, it’s a good idea to look up what the best timings are for visiting Namibia. Here the land is primarily covered in desert, meaning it’s hot and dry for the most part. When the rains do come down though – usually around October – they come down hard, so you might want to stick to the dry months.

Getting to Namibia

So, just how are you planning to visit Namibia? Of course, you can always fly into the country – flights from Europe for example will cost around 650 to over 1000 pounds. That being said, if you initially travel to South Africa or Botswana, you can simply rent out a car and drive to the desert.

Where to Stay

Namibia offers plenty of options when it comes to accommodations, particularly for travelling couples. Hotels in Namibia range from simple boutique options to luxurious options like the Avani Windhoek Hotel & Casino. There’s always the option to camp out in the desert too.

Planning Your Itinerary

There are a great many options when it comes to a couple’s itinerary in Namibia. Spending a night or two in the desert wilderness can be a once in a lifetime experience – so don’t pass it up. Just as well, a cruise along the Zambezi River or a safari at the Kalahari are great choices.

Couples Guide to Koh Samui

by Lavinia Woolf Posted on

Many newlyweds flock to the paradise Thai island of Koh Samui – and with good reason too. This stunning beach getaway is perfect for a romantic excursion with your significant other. Here’s a quick couple’s guide to this amorous island found in the Gulf of Thailand.

Koh Samui is a resort island that’s perfect for relaxing and lounging. Travelling around the island is relatively easy via taxi or even an open-air truck. Most tours available here also have couples offers – so don’t forget to take advantage of these.

The Beaches

The beaches are Koh Samui’s premier attractions, and you’d be remiss not to visit these with your special someone. While Chaweng Beach is far the most popular option, it does tend to get crowded rather quickly. If you prefer something more intimate, consider Coral Cove or Crystal Bay.

Outdoor Excursions

Of course, Koh Samui isn’t just about beaches and resorts – if you and your partner like to explore and break a sweat, there’s plenty to do here! One of the best outdoor activities to try out is a trek to the Namuang Waterfalls.

Where to Stay

Being a resort destination, you won’t have too much trouble finding a place to stay here in Koh Samui. For starters, there’s plenty of Chaweng Beach resorts to choose from – like the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort. Most of these also come with exclusives couples’ packages and deals. So, as with the tours, be sure to do your research ahead of time.
