Complete Journey Overview
A Romantic Maldivian Escape for Two
Day 1: Arrival in Paradise
Arrival at Velana International Airport (MLE)
Welcome to the Maldives! After clearing immigration and customs, you will be greeted by your resort's representative in the arrivals hall. They will guide you to your transfer point.
Speedboat Transfer to Your Resort
Experience your first taste of the turquoise Maldivian waters with a thrilling speedboat ride to your resort in the South Malé Atoll. Feel the ocean spray and watch the islands dot the horizon.
Check-in to Your Overwater Villa
Settle into your luxurious overwater villa, your private sanctuary for the next six days. These villas offer direct lagoon access, a private sundeck, and unparalleled ocean views, creating the perfect romantic setting.
Private Candlelit Beach Dinner
Begin your romantic getaway with an unforgettable private dinner on the beach. With your toes in the sand, a personal chef and waiter, and the sound of the waves, it's the perfect start to your Maldivian love story.
Day 2: Aquatic Serenity & Sunset Dreams
Couple's Spa Journey
Indulge in a rejuvenating spa experience designed for two. Many Maldivian resort spas are overwater, allowing you to watch fish swim beneath you during your treatment. Choose a package that includes a massage, body scrub, and floral bath.
Leisurely Water Sports
Explore the calm, crystal-clear lagoon together. Most resorts offer complimentary non-motorized water sports. Grab a double kayak or try stand-up paddleboarding side-by-side for a fun and relaxing afternoon.
Sunset Dhoni Cruise
Embark on a traditional Maldivian wooden boat, a 'Dhoni', for a romantic sunset cruise. Sip on champagne and enjoy canapés as the sky paints itself in hues of orange and pink. Keep an eye out for playful spinner dolphins that often accompany the boats.
Dinner at an Overwater Restaurant
Dine at the resort's signature seafood restaurant, perched on stilts above the lagoon. Enjoy the fresh catch of the day while watching reef sharks and rays swim in the illuminated waters below.
Day 3: Underwater Wonders & Secluded Romance
Guided House Reef Snorkeling
Discover the vibrant underwater world of the Maldives. Join a marine biologist for a guided tour of the resort's house reef. Swim alongside colorful fish, turtles, and harmless reef sharks. It's like exploring a whole new world together.
Private Sandbank Picnic
Escape to your own private, uninhabited sandbank for the ultimate romantic experience. Your resort will arrange a boat to take you to a pristine strip of white sand in the middle of the ocean, complete with a gourmet picnic basket and a sun umbrella.
Relaxation & Villa Time
After your excursion, spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing. Take a dip in your private pool, read a book on the sundeck, or simply enjoy the tranquility and stunning views from your overwater villa.
In-Villa Dining Experience
For a truly intimate evening, opt for an in-villa dining experience. A personal butler will set up a beautiful table on your private deck, allowing you to dine under the stars in complete privacy.
Day 4: Cultural Immersion & Culinary Connection
Local Island Cultural Tour
Take a break from the resort bubble and visit a nearby inhabited island like Guraidhoo or Maafushi. This guided tour offers a glimpse into the authentic Maldivian way of life. See the local school, mosque, boat-building yards, and browse for handmade souvenirs.
Private Maldivian Cooking Class
Connect with your partner and local culture through food. Take a private cooking class with one of the resort's chefs. Learn the secrets behind traditional Maldivian dishes like tuna curry (Mas Riha), coconut-based salads (Mas Huni), and fish broth (Garudhiya).
Dinner of Your Own Creation
Enjoy the fruits of your labor! A special table will be set for you to savor the authentic Maldivian meal you learned to cook and prepared together during your class.
Day 5: Ultimate Indulgence & Celestial Cinema
Floating Breakfast Experience
Wake up to one of the most iconic Maldivian experiences: a floating breakfast. A beautifully arranged tray of fresh fruits, pastries, and your choice of hot breakfast is delivered to your villa and set afloat in your private pool.
Day of Leisure and Connection
Spend your last full day in paradise at your own pace. Revisit your favorite spot on the island, take one last swim in the lagoon from your villa, or simply lounge on your deck, soaking in the final moments of tranquility.
Private Cinema Under the Stars
For your final evening, enjoy a magical private movie screening on the beach. Snuggle up on comfortable beanbags or a daybed, with the vast starry sky as your ceiling and the gentle sound of waves as your soundtrack. Gourmet popcorn and cocktails are included.
Day 6: Farewell, Maldives
Final Maldivian Breakfast
Enjoy one last leisurely breakfast at the resort's main restaurant, savoring the tropical fruits and ocean views before you prepare for your departure.
