Hand in hand you look out into the horizon. Azure waters dazzle in the sun as cotton candy-like clouds unhurriedly make their way across clear blue skies. You feel the soft sand between your toes and the gentle ocean breeze wrapping you both up in its cooling embrace. Lost in love, lost in each other’s gaze, you enjoy pure solitude in your own little slice of paradise. A sandbank wedding in Maldives gives you the chance to truly experience a romantic escape like no other!

Sandbanks are secluded patches of sand dunes that can be found in the vast Indian Ocean that surrounds this island nation. Varying in shape and size, these patches of sandy bliss provide the ultimate in seclusion. It is the perfect complement to what Maldives romantic resorts have to offer couples, along with beach weddings that can be enjoyed at such island resorts as Adaaran Prestige Water Villas.

Surrounded by 360-degree panoramas of an unending ocean, sandbanks have their own unique charm and provide couples a unique setting for a wedding. Certain travel specialists and resorts will help to organise such a magical wedding including boat transfers to a particular sandbank. Depending on the time and tide (as you well know, time and tide wait for none!) you can even look to plan an intimate ceremony at sunset, as the crimson and golden rays of the sun ignite the skies.

While you can look to get professional photographers as part of the package, you always have the option of keeping things more simple. Nothing like using your own camera-phone to capture those special selfies of you and your partner! Best of all, the Maldives is also the ideal place to spend your honeymoon and begin your new chapter of love.
