The Maldives has long been a hot spot for honeymooners.

With its unspoiled coastlines, turquoise waters, lavish overwater bungalows and ultimate seclusion, it’s no secret that lovebirds head here for their next chapter together.

Keep these nine factors in mind to make your honeymoon as memorable as the destination itself when you’re at a private island resort in the Maldives.

1. Selecting the Ideal Resort for Your Taste

Choosing the right resort is one of the key things for making your honeymoon really special.

There are countless luxury resorts in the Maldives, and each one has its own special flavor.

If privacy is a priority, consider an adults-only resort or a villa with a private pool.

For underwater adventures, choose a resort with house reef access or snorkeling from your doorstep.

A lot of resorts also offer all-inclusive options for the most luxurious experience possible; a stack of gourmet meals and spa treatments to keep you at your best is all organized for you.

2. The Overwater Villa Stay Experience

A quintessential Maldivian experience that is perfect for honeymooners is staying in an overwater villa.

These villas feature direct access to the lagoon, breathtaking ocean views and unparalleled privacy.

Some even have glass floors for viewing underwater sea life or infinity pools that blend into the horizon.

Think waking up to the sound of gentle lapping waves, breakfast served on your private deck — it’s romance reimagined.

3. Arrange a Private Picnic into the Sandbank

One of the most romantic things you can do in the Maldives is a private sandbank picnic.

Many resorts have this experience, so you’ll be taken to a private sandbank surrounded by turquoise water.

Relax in the scenery and beauty of your surroundings with a gourmet picnic and champagne.

4. Take a Sunset Dolphin Cruise

There’s nothing more magical than watching the sun sink into the horizon in the Maldives, and a sunset dolphin cruise brings a bit of adventure to the romance.

You’ll climb on board a dhoni — a traditional wooden boat — and sail the beguiling waters.

“In addition, dolphins tend to playfully jump next to the boat, which creates moments that you will never forget.

5. Book a Couple’s Spa Treatment

The Maldives is famous for its luxury spas, most of which are built over the water or on the beach.

Indulge in a couple’s spa service to unwind and recharge from the wedding whirlwind.

Opt for a base stimulating massage, work out all those travel knots with a body scrub or calm your eyes with a facial to help make you glow on your honeymoon.

6. Have an Underwater Dining Experience

For an extra special culinary treat book yourself a table at one of the Maldives’ famous underwater restaurants.

Can you picture your delicious meal, with the colourful fish swimming around you?

These restaurants fuse opulence, sublime dining, and mighty setting, great for honeymooners.

7. Explore Glittering Beaches of Bioluminescence

In the Maldives, plankton create a natural phenomenon called bioluminescence, where the beach appears to be glowing with tiny blue lights.

This phenomenon is most famous on Vaadhoo Island.

Plan an evening visit to walk hand in hand along a glowing beach — it’s like a fairy tale come to life.

8. Explore The Amazing Marine Life Together

The Maldives is a diver and snorkeler’s paradise.

Dive into the vibrant coral reefs, swim with manta rays, turtles and even whale sharks!

Many of the resorts provide guided snorkeling excursions to make sure you find all the hot spots while making shared memories below the surface.

9. Document Your Love with a Professional Photoshoot
