A picture is worth 1000 words and we\u2019d be hard-pressed to come up with a prettier one than the Maldives<\/a>. Gliding overhead in a sea plane, the dreamscape below is of opalescent islands that melt into a bluer-than-blue ocean and palatial, over-the-water villas<\/a> where you never have to see another soul – except for a butler, perhaps. The Maldives is the kind of place that surpasses all expectations, whether you want to spend every day in a private pool or exploring the underwater delights. Take a look at our picks for an unforgettable honeymoon in the Maldives.<\/p>\n

\"honeymoon<\/a>

Gili Lankanfushi resort in the North Mal\u00e9 Atoll<\/p><\/div>\n

Ultimate Maldives<\/h2>\n

After you\u2019ve said your vows and popped the champers, imagine a week in the Maldives<\/a>, with time spent at two different resorts? First up is Gili Lankanfushi<\/a> in the North Mal\u00e9 Atoll. The resort is luxurious in every sense of the word and the fun begins from arrival, which is always by speedboat (of course!). Surrounded by a beautiful house reef and acres of lapis ocean, there\u2019s an underground, coral-inspired wine cellar, a jungle cinema and even glass-floored massage beds. After a few days, a sea plane will zoom you over to the only resort in the remote Laamu Atoll. With style by the boatload, Six Senses<\/a> offers massages in nests on the beach and the best cocktails around. And there\u2019s much to toast, after all! At both destinations, there is an impressive list of water sports (kayaking to waterskiing) and plenty of spectacular dive sites just a boat ride away. What\u2019s the perfect way to end a day in the Maldives<\/a>? Following a pod of shimmering Spinner dolphins towards the horizon on a sunset cruise.<\/p>\n

Palm trees, pampering & pure bliss in the Maldives<\/p><\/div>\n

The best of India & the Maldives<\/h2>\n

For a tad more sightseeing before the R&R, this trip<\/a> is the perfect combination of India\u2019s<\/a> most eye-catching cities and the private island of your choice in the Maldives<\/a>. On this trip, the Golden Triangle is your map and you\u2019ll begin in capital city, Delhi<\/a>, where the ancient melds with the contemporary in full, unabashed colour before exploring one of the most famous buildings in the world, the marble-clad ode to love, the Taj Mahal. The final point is beautiful Jaipur<\/a>, where top-tier boutiques and restaurants rub shoulders with grand forts and even grander palaces – but not before you\u2019ve explored the hidden shrines of Rural Rajasthan<\/a> and the iconic tiger territory, Ranthambore<\/a>. As you bid farewell to India, you\u2019ll fly southwards to the ethereal Maldives, where there are spotless beaches to laze on, reefs to discover, and cocktails to match the sunset.<\/p>\n

\"honeymoon<\/a>

Maldivian dinners on the beach at sunset<\/p><\/div>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Delhi, we love The Oberoi Gurgaon<\/a> for its sprawling gardens and swanky credentials – it has a Gucci store on site and spa decorated head to toe in Italian marble. With views of the Taj Mahal from every patio and a multi-level pool (very welcome on a hot day), The Oberoi Amarvilas<\/a> is an easy favourite in Agra<\/a> and in Ranthambore, SUJAN Sher Bagh<\/a> is as close to the tigers as you could get. In the Aravalli foothills outside of Jaipur, the opulent Samode Palace<\/a> is a real highlight. In the Maldives, check out OBLU by Atmosphere at Helengeli<\/a>. Located in the North Male Atoll, it comes with an idyllic swimming pool and amazing dive sites.<\/p>\n

\"honeymoon<\/a>

Unfathomable marine life on a snorkelling adventure<\/p><\/div>\n

Two epic islands<\/h2>\n

Why should you have to choose between Sri Lanka<\/a> and the Maldives<\/a> when you can combine two mega-watt islands on the trip of a lifetime<\/a>? After catching your breath in Sri Lanka\u2019s sunny Colombo<\/a>, cast your sights a few centuries back on a visit to Sigiriya<\/a>, a sky-high rock fortress in the Cultural Triangle<\/a>. Take in the scene from the sky on a romantic hot air balloon ride<\/a> for the ultimate honeymoon treat. Other historical gems on this trip include the ruins of Anuradhapura<\/a> and the erstwhile royal city of Kandy<\/a> for exquisite temples and sublime vistas on hiking trails into the Knuckles Mountains. Then, swap the hills of Sri Lanka for the sun-kissed beaches of the Maldives and sail the seas in a glass-bottomed boat, sunbathe on untouched islands and plumb the depths on a diving expedition. You\u2019ll want to stay forever\u2026<\/p>\n

\"honeymoon<\/a>

A private paradise at Milaidhoo Island<\/p><\/div>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Sri Lanka, join the ranks of a rather impressive guest list at Paradise Road Tintagel<\/a> in Colombo before finding bliss at the Water Garden Sigiriya<\/a>. Hidden in verdant grounds, the resort was modeled on the famous rock fortress\u2019 own garden. End at Kandy House<\/a>, with its authentic interiors and in-suite massages before relaxing at Milaidhoo Island<\/a> in the Maldives, a true island gem where night dives, stunning villas and, for honeymooners, the opportunity to have a star named after you await\u2026<\/p>\n

Another gorgeous sunset in the Maldives, sigh…<\/p><\/div>\n

Scenic Kerala & the Maldives<\/h2>\n

If you have already explored India\u2019s<\/a> northern states, how about combining laidback Kerala with some beachside R&R in the Maldives? On this easy, breezy trip<\/a>, your first stop is Cochin<\/a> where you\u2019ll take in the diverse architecture, left behind by travellers from all over the globe and watch the coast turn gold at sunset as fishermen haul their catch with traditional Chinese fishing nets. Next up is the leafy world of the Western Ghats. Discover the gentle chug of life on Munnar\u2019s<\/a> tea plantations before venturing into Periyar<\/a>, one of India\u2019s oldest national parks, where tigers lurk, elephant roam and birds flit in great, colourful clouds. Before leaving India, a must is to sail along the Kerala backwaters<\/a> as life plays out on the banks before you. Then, it\u2019s off the Maldives<\/a> where the sun is (almost) always shining, the waters are filled with dazzling marine life, and a massage is never far away…<\/p>\n

\"honeymoon<\/a>

A view to dream about at Ozen by Atmosphere<\/p><\/div>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

The picturesque Brunton Boatyard<\/a> is our first choice in Cochin, with private dinners on the jetty and sunset cruises. In Munnar, idyllic Windermere Estate<\/a> is always near the top of our list and in Periyar, Hill & Hues<\/a> enjoys radiant vistas from the year-round infinity pools. In the Kerala Backwaters, spend a night or two aboard The Oberoi Vrinda cruiser<\/a>, before getting the luxury treatment at Kumarakom Resort<\/a> on Lake Vembanad. In the Maldives, Ozen by Atmosphere<\/a> is pure magic with top-tier dining, ocean adventures and luxe villas to rival the best of them.<\/p>\n
