Honeymoon packages in the Maldives

The Maldives is one of the most romantic honeymoon locations in the world. With more than 1200 beautiful islands within 26 coral atolls, a honeymoon package in the Maldives immerses you in a world of white sandy beaches, crystal-clear lagoons, an ocean teeming with exotic marine life and hundreds of uninhabited “Robinson Crusoe” islands to explore. The Maldives specialise in all-inclusive luxury holidays, and we at The Co-operative Travel have honeymoon packages here to suit every budget.

Tips on finding the perfect honeymoon destination

The Maldives is a fragile and unique marine and terrestrial environment, and the government has a long-term program of sustainable, environmentally-friendly tourist development, encouraging enjoyment of the reefs and islands while encroaching on them as little as possible.

The islands are known for three things: their world-class diving facilities, their luxury all-inclusive resorts and their romantic honeymoon packages. The government’s tourism strategy is simple: to establish a controlled number of high quality, self-contained, eco-friendly package resorts for discerning tourists. You won’t find any sprawling complexes or independent backpackers here.  Instead, you’ll find over 90 secluded, luxury all-inclusive resorts, each occupying its own coral island and each with its own unique character and beauty.

The Maldives is a year round honeymoon destination, with constant sunshine and temperatures of between 29 and 32oC. The best time to book your honeymoon is between December and April. From May to October the temperatures are still warm although there is a higher level of rainfall and, therefore, humidity. However, the resorts are air-conditioned, spacious and breezy, and some superb bargains can be picked up at this time.

Best honeymoon locations on the Maldives

The Maldives are prized for their abundance and variety of marine life. Diving is a key feature of the Maldives, and even the most romantic honeymoon locations will have diving tuition and other water sports facilities. If you want to learn more advanced techniques, like shark swimming and underwater photography (and some couples do!) there are resorts specialising in that as well – though they’ll be less romantic.

For those planning weddings abroad, packages in Ari Atoll are popular. Kuramathi Lagoon is a popular honeymoon destination, featuring traditional water bungalows and luxury spa facilities.

Baa Atoll, in the north, is unspoilt and remote, with almost 40 uninhabited coral islands as well as 13 luxury resorts. With vibrant lush greenery overhanging tropical beaches, and spectacular sunsets, it’s a honeymooners’ paradise.

The Maldives are one of the most romantic honeymoon locations in the Indian Ocean. We at The Co-operative Travel have honeymoon packages there to suit every budget.
