God blessed this paradise in the middle of the azure waters of the Indian Ocean; a paradise that consists of 1,190 tiny teardrop islands like nowhere else on earth. This may be the most beautiful place on earth. This is the Maldives. 

 

The Maldives is composed of tropical islands with palm-fringed beaches and crystal-clear seas, coming together to create the perfect destination for couples in search of romance. The islands have limited vegetation, but are supplemented by the riches of the sea. A breathtaking variety of coral, abundant colourful fish and other sea creatures make the Maldives as beautiful below the water as above, with the islands’ gorgeous beaches and stunning villas.

 

Is it any wonder that discerning lovers from around the world make the pilgrimage to the Maldives year after year? Popular resorts are always booked and availability is limited, with just a few luxury hideaways sprinkled amongst the resort islands. Each resort is situated on its own private island, which provides a rare combination of the ultimate hideaway with world-class services. This may well be the last real paradise on earth and the perfect place for a romantic destination wedding or to renew your vows.

 

If the Maldives is your choice to celebrate your wedding, you and your spouse will be surprised by the service and hospitality. Spa treatments, sunset cruises and quality beach time await you and your lover at every turn. At every destination wedding location, you will enjoy all the benefits of a vacation before the big day arrives. You and your family and friends can relax before the wedding and take part in activities like snorkelling or swimming with the dolphins, or just lay back on the beach and savour paradise.

 

The Maldives is blessed with gorgeous wedding venues for the ultimate romantic ceremony and party. With exotic sea views, the Maldives promises comfort and privacy for lovers who dream of a private and intimate atmosphere for their big day. Most wedding ceremonies in the Maldives are held on golden beaches, the venues decorated in traditional or Robinson Crusoe style. Some resorts even offer underwater weddings.

 

Best Time to Come

The peak season in the Maldives is between November and April, when it’s hot and dry. There’s more rain from May to July and September to November, but the temperature is still a toasty 32 degrees Celsius on average and the best value offers are available then, too.
