Tips for your Maldives Honeymoon

Here are a few things to consider when planning your honeymoon in the Maldives.

Stay in an overwater villa

You can’t get more romantic than waking up to the sound of the ocean all around you. Wake up and open the curtains and enjoy panoramic views while you enjoy your morning coffee. You can also go outside to your private terrace and have coffee there, or take a dip in the water from your private ocean access. There are a plethora of overwater villas in the Maldives to choose from. These are the 5 best overwater villa resorts for honeymooners in the Maldives.

The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort

The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort offers three different overwater villas, but the ones that face west and allow honeymooners to experience the intense sunsets each and every evening are the best of the bunch. Imagine relaxing on your private terrace with a complimentary wine, or lounging in your private pool while staring out at the water and the chiffon-pink sunset beyond. You can even watch it from inside the villa, as the entire west facing wall is made up of glass sliding doors. These villas also boast hammocks that suspend over the water, butler service, a glass-enclosed rainforest shower and a luxurious king-size St. Regis Bed. Click here to make a reservation.

Baros Maldives

The Telegraph chose the Baros Maldives as one of their top overwater villas in their list of the world’s 50 best honeymoon hotels and destinations and it is very easy to see why. They have 15 overwater villas with pools, and 15 without. Otherwise, there is no difference between these 30 villas that sit over the water along a crescent boardwalk, although some do offer spectacular views of the sunset above the lagoon. Honeymooners can enjoy a dedicated 24-hour villa host, a four-poster daybed on your private deck, and direct access into the water. They are the perfect place for an intimate honeymoon, with each deck being completely private and closed off from the rest of the world. To see more photos or make a reservation, click here.

Leave your shoes at home

Well you will need them for the flights, but otherwise you won’t need them while on Holidays in the Maldives. In fact, most resorts encourage their guests not to wear shoes, and enjoy the barefoot in paradise experience. What better way is there to gaze at the stars with your new spouse than by digging your bare toes into the sand?

Opt for a meal plan

Most Maldives resorts offer meal plans, and these are a great way to not only save money, but also to enjoy a stress-free honeymoon. Half board or all inclusive plans means that you will never have to worry about paying a food or drink bill, as everything is included! This will just add to the whole honeymoon experience.

Plan an exotic stop-over

No flight to the Maldives is direct, so why not make your stop-over an exciting one. Book yourself into a hotel in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, or plan a stop in Malaysia, Singapore or Thailand. There are so many options when travelling to the Maldives that can make your honeymoon that much more exciting.

Travel in the off-season

Although the peak honeymoon season is summertime, taking your honeymoon in an off-season will save you a great deal of money. Many of the most luxurious resorts will have huge discounts at these times, which at times can even be 50 percent lower than visiting during a peak season. Generally, if you want to snag the best Maldives honeymoon deals, travel in May or September.

Look for cheap flights

Flying to the Maldives doesn’t come cheap, but if you start looking ahead of time then it is very possible to snag some great deals. Check a few different flight booking sites and see who offers the best prices. If you travel in the monsoon season you will be able to find a flight for less than $1,000, as well as getting great Maldives Honeymoon deals at resorts. As well, if you make a stop-over somewhere in Asia, like Malaysia, Thailand, or Singapore, you will be able to book a cheap flight to the Maldives with low cost carrier AirAsia.

Searching for flights after midnight could also save you money, as many airlines reduce rates at times when there is slow internet traffic. Another way to get a great deal on Maldives flights is to fly on a weekday rather than a weekend. All this means is that instead of heading off on your romantic honeymoon the day after your wedding, enjoy a few days together at home or in a luxury hotel in your city, and jet off to the Maldives on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, when flights are less expensive.

Book a Package

By booking a package honeymoon deal to the Maldives you could end up saving quite a bit of money, as they often include special perks like spa days, a private dinner in a secluded location and champagne. These resorts offer some of the best honeymoon packages, which means fantastic Maldives honeymoon deals.
