Home / Destination / Maldives 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. 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.
