LuxuryBeachesDivingHoneymoon

The Maldives is the definitive honeymoon paradise — a thousand coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, each resort on its own private isle with overwater villas, house reefs and blindingly white sand. It's barefoot luxury, world-class diving and total seclusion, a short flight from India.

Best time to visit Maldives

November to April is the best time to visit the Maldives — the dry season, with sunny skies, calm seas and superb visibility for diving and snorkelling. May to October is the greener, cheaper wet season, with occasional storms but plenty of sunshine between them.

Top things to do in Maldives

  • Stay in an overwater villa above a turquoise lagoon
  • Snorkel or dive the house reef among rays and reef sharks
  • Cruise at sunset to spot dolphins
  • Enjoy a couples' spa treatment over the water
  • Picnic on a private sandbank
  • Try the water sports — kayaking, paddleboarding, jet-ski
  • Dine under the stars on the beach

Choosing your resort island

Every Maldives resort is its own island, so the choice is everything — house-reef quality, villa type, board basis and transfer (speedboat vs seaplane) all matter. We match the resort to your budget and whether it's a honeymoon or a family trip.

Seaplane or speedboat?

Nearer resorts use a speedboat transfer; farther, more exclusive ones use a scenic seaplane (daylight only). We factor transfers into the plan so you're not caught out by timings or extra cost.

Insider tip: Confirm whether your resort has a good house reef — snorkelling straight off your villa is one of the Maldives' greatest and most underrated pleasures.
