A wedding and honeymoon in the Maldives is incomparable; the
tropical islands are a beautiful destination for weddings or
honeymoons, offering palm-fringed beaches with white sands and deep
turquoise lagoons. With welcoming locals and a good selection of
restaurants, spas and luxurious retreats, this is an obliging spot
from which couples can begin their life together.
Maldives Honeymoon Things To Do
Honeymoon resorts in
North Malé, South Malé, Seenu
and
Ari are a wonderful base from which to enjoy the islands. For
many, the attraction of the Maldives is that there is little
sightseeing to do; most people come here to simply relax, soak up
the sun and dip in the warm ocean.
For those who wish to explore the islands, there is a wealth of
options to choose from. Wander hand-in-hand through the Singapore
Bazaar, selecting unique honeymoon souvenirs or wedding favours.
The more adventurous can explore some of this island nation's
exquisite
dive sites, home to exceptional coral reefs and unique marine
life.
Newly-weds on honeymoon in the Maldives can visit any one of over
20 mosques, the oldest of which is the 13th century Hukuru Miski.
There are also performances of bodu beru, the traditional dance and
music of the Maldives, to be enjoyed. With so much to offer, a
wedding and honeymoon in the Maldives is a great start to married
life.
Maldives Wedding Formalities
The only legal wedding in
the Maldives is a Muslim ceremony, and this is only for the island
nationals. However, couples are welcome to register their marriage
legally at home before having the ceremony of their choice and a
wedding reception in the Maldives.
