There is perhaps no more romantic a setting for exchanging wedding vows than the Maldives. This archipelago of coral atolls surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean epitomises desert island luxury. For many, the white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons of the Maldives provide the most magical of locations for their special day.
Many resorts in the Maldives offer wedding holiday packages that can include all the elements of your dream wedding: a delightful ceremony, bridal hair and make-up, photographer, wedding cake, and of course, a picture-perfect setting. A Maldives wedding also allows couples to combine their nuptials with the ultimate away-from-it-all honeymoon.
There are lots of ways to make your Maldives wedding truly memorable. In honour of the spectacular setting, you may wish to incorporate elements of a traditional Maldivian wedding, such as a boduberu, a procession of drummers in traditional attire to lead you and your partner down the aisle. Some choose to have a local gazi (judge) to officiate at the ceremony. For many, simply the paradisical backdrop of pure white sands and a brilliant turquoise lagoon is magical enough.
What other activities can you enjoy at a Maldives wedding?
Weddings in the Maldives aren’t just about the one day that you get married, as there is so much more on offer when you tie the knot here. Following the special day, you along with your friends and family can enjoy the delights of your chosen resort, many of which are set on their own private island. Snorkel among colourful coral reefs; sink into the infinity pool in your private overwater villa; enjoy a candlelit dinner in the most romantic of settings; and take advantage of the spa facilities at your luxury resort in the Maldives.
