Maldives

Indian Ocean

The Maldives are a little slice of paradise. One island, one resort, just the two of you. You'll stay in one place, making your resort more than just accommodation.

Overwater villas above a turquoise lagoon in the Maldives.

The Maldives offer a different kind of tropical escape. Rather than exploring somewhere new every day, you’ll spend most of your time on one small coral island, making its character all the more important. Some islands offer peaceful lagoons; others stand out for reef snorkelling, a wider choice of restaurants or activities to enjoy together.

For couples, this little world has a charm of its own. It can be the setting for a honeymoon, anniversary or wedding – a few special days surrounded by the ocean, with time just for each other. Our articles share practical advice and other couples’ stories to help you plan a romantic stay in the Maldives. Even the journey there can be an adventure in itself.

Wedding in the Maldives

A Wedding in the Maldives: What to Expect

Soft sand beneath your feet, turquoise water stretching out before you, and a little time that belongs just to the two of you. It's easy to picture a celebration that feels entirely your own. What if, during your stay, you exchanged your vows on a beach, looking out across the ocean?

Maldives weather: when to go and why your atoll matters

The Maldives stretch more than **800 kilometres (roughly 500 miles)** from north to south. Imagine asking for one weather forecast for a road trip that long. You'd probably get a puzzled look — and a very reasonable question: "Which part?"
