It was our honeymoon. Since we had heard a lot about the Maldives, its serene beaches, clear blue water, vibrant coral reefs, we decided to take a romantic trip here. I was in the Maldives for 5 nights, for three days I stayed in resorts and the hospitality in the resorts was of top notch. Food was great, almost every cuisine was available from Indian to Chinese to Italian to French. The rest of two days I was in a local Island named ‘Hulhumale’ there we tried street food.

2. Candle-lit dinner
One of the highlights of our honeymoon in the Maldives was the candle-lit dinner under the starry skies. We can’t get enough of thinking about it. The exclusive upgrades and bespoke experiences were like a cherry on the cake. There couldn’t be a better start to our married life. We recommend all other couples on their honeymoon to have a similar experience. It’s romantic!
3. Privacy
Any couple who is on honeymoon would wish for privacy and moments of solitude and we got so much of it. No one bothered us and we had plenty of quality time to spend with each other. Our resort on Hulumale island that we stayed in was stupendous. It came with a lot of activities. So, getting bored was not even an option. Though living on a local island would be much cheaper, we really enjoyed our luxurious stay and it was worth it.

4. Food
My wife and I are big-time foodies. So, we decided to explore the food scenes on the island. The cuisine of the Maldives is a rich assemblage of traditional flavors with strong influences from its neighboring countries, such as India and Sri Lanka. They call ‘roti’ as ‘roshi’. Food in the Maldives was great. Especially, the seafood. In Male, there is a big fish Market and it’s worth visiting. One can also find Kebabs on the streets. We had opted for Half-board meal and were on a resort for 3 days. So, food was covered and we didn’t try much of street food. Every cuisine was available from Indian to Chinese to Italian to French at the resort.
5. Shopping
Shopping is a very extravagant affair in the Maldives. One can by souvenir’s there are many in Male, at the airport and at the resorts. Generally used things like medicines, books & groceries are imported from India and they are dearer.
6. Exploration Trip
One of the things we enjoyed on our honeymoon in Maldives was the local expedition trip. We hopped on a boat and visited local islands near Male. It was really an interesting experience to observe the local lifestyle of people on the island. We took a walk in the village. Who could have thought that villages in the Maldives could be so picturesque and exciting?
7. Water Sports
The Maldives is a perfect destination to indulge in water sports activites. The clear waters of the turquoise ocean sure looked enticing. So, we decided to get in the depths of the water and enjoy snorkeling. There are several spots in the Maldives where you can enjoy deep sea diving and snorkeling.
