The Magical Maldives
The picture-perfect overwater villas jutting out over that turquoise water and the white sand? I always thought these photos must be filtered? Well the good news is that they look just as good in real life, it really is heaven on earth and one of the most beautiful places ever!
I’ve been lucky enough not just to visit Maldives but along with Thailand and Bali it’s the honeymoon destination I’ve booked the most in my career as a Travel Consultant.
Some travel agencies will only have a select number of properties they work with but here at Travel Counsellors we’re lucky to have priority access to the over 100+ resorts there so I can really match you with the perfect spot for a dreamy Maldives honeymoon (or holiday).
Huvafen Fushi was the first resort I ever stayed at. Having spent 5 days walking the beautiful Somerset countryside at Glastonbury Festival in England, I was excited to get there to relax and rest my weary legs. A tough life that year!
After our short speedboat transfer, we were lucky enough to be staying in a Sunset Deluxe Ocean Villa with a 3-tiered deck and private infinity pool with steps down to the crystal-clear reef where stingrays and other colourful friends swam around the lagoon. The underwater spa was divine. This is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience (or maybe twice or thrice?), honeymoon, special birthday and wedding anniversary heaven.
The cocktails and food are always incredible in Maldives and I don’t think I’ve ever received a single complaint about the resorts there.
Personally, I confess other than strolling along the perfect beach, snorkelling from the villa, sunbathing, reading, eating and drinking - I don’t recommend much except making the most of relaxing in our own slice of paradise.
But if you’re adventure seekers you may think Maldives is not for you but I bet I can find a resort you’ll love! Water slides? Whale Watching? Paragliding?
The Maldives for me is the perfect romantic honeymoon destination but you know it's actually a fantastic beach holiday for families and friends too with many resorts catering from different kinds of holidaymakers...paradise is for everyone!
Don’t hesitate to contact me for more information. I’m currently planning my own trip for a significant wedding anniversary coming up. I can’t wait!
