An unrivalled tropical paradise where stilted villas hover gently above warm, crystal waters that stretch endlessly into unbroken horizons of blue.

It is easy to see why the blissful islands of the Maldives are so highly revered as a honeymooning destination. Private over-water bungalows gift you with your very own slice of the Indian Ocean where long days can be spent dipping in and out of the turquoise waters, home to a kaleidoscope of dazzling corals and marine life. Spend the afternoon indulging in a luxurious spa treatment, reconnect mind, body and spirit on a yoga retreat, or simply relish in pure sun-drenched escapism. If you can bear to tear yourself away from your private haven, over a thousand pristine islands make up this picture-postcard archipelago, making it a breeze to set sail by wooden dhoni to a private island for a romantic dinner under the stars.

Honeymooning heaven, luxury holiday heaven – a stay in the Maldives is sure to calm the mind and rejuvenate the soul.
