The Maldives is the ultimate honeymoon fantasy — overwater villas, turquoise lagoons and total seclusion.

  • Overwater villas — your own deck, steps into the lagoon, and unmatched privacy.
  • Private dining — sandbank dinners and in-villa breakfasts.
  • Snorkelling & diving — coral reefs, turtles and manta rays right offshore.
  • Couples’ spas — many over the water.

Tips

Choose a resort island that matches your budget and travel time from the airport (seaplane vs speedboat), and visit in the dry season (November-April).
