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.
