Ask any couple and they will tell you that planning a wedding is daunting and stressful. But the post-wedding getaway is the exact opposite. Whether an adventurous vacation, history filled holiday or a romantic one, there are many ways to celebrate your union. Whatever destination or idea you choose, your honeymoon warrants to be a restorative one to get over the planning chaos. And what can get better than a spa-cation with your spouse. Along with the obvious reasons, there are many upsides to a relaxing honeymoon. Firstly, you get that much-needed dose of self-care and pampering. This low-key pace means you can amp up the romance and strengthen your bond. You can pick an adult-only resort to get more quality time with your partner.
Among the endless options across the world, we surely recommend Maldives, often touted as a dream destination worth a trek for your post-wedding getaway. Powder-white sand beaches flanked by lush verdancy. Turquoise waters ringed by colourful coral reefs and marine life. But selecting the right hotel is crucial, as it will be your base during your honeymoon. Given the plethora of hotels in the archipelago, it can be hard zeroing down on the perfect property. For exclusivity, privacy and luxury, Amilla Maldives is the ultimate destination. Amilla’s USP is the dedicated spaces for couples to relax, rejuvenate and roam.
Start your picturesque journey from Amilla’s private lounge. From Malé’s Velana International Airport, the property, nestled on Baa Atoll region, is a 35-minute scenic seaplane ride away.
