Ride the waves and fall in love all over again with some surfing. If you're new to surfing, do not worry – our instructors will be more than happy to teach you the ropes (or waves, rather). What could be a more romantic way to spend an afternoon than learning a new skill together?

Take an Island Hop and Explore Beautiful Beaches

The Maldives is made for couples looking for a romantic getaway. It's simple to understand why with its immaculate beaches and clean oceans.

But what about when you've seen all there is to see on one island? No problem. The Maldives is made up of over 1,200 islands, so there's plenty to explore. Why not take a day trip to a neighboring island and check out its beaches? You could even hop on a bike and explore at your own pace.

Relax Together at a Luxury Spa

What could be more romantic than spending some quality time together in a luxurious spa? The Maldives is home to some of the best spas in the world, and they offer couples a wide range of treatments to choose from.

From massages to facials, you can enjoy some much-needed relaxation and pamper with your loved one. And the best part is that you can do it all while taking in the stunning views of the ocean. So why not treat yourself and your partner to a day at the spa? You won't regret it!

Experience a Sunset Cruise

Romance on the Indian Ocean? Yes, please! Experience a sunset cruise for romantic bliss. Whether it's just for the two of you, or a private charter, treat yourselves to this unique experience at sunset.

Sail around the picturesque islands of the Maldives and spot some of its wildlife – from sea turtles, and dolphins to flying fish. As the sun sets and darkness cover up most of its beauty, you'll be able to witness a breathtakingly beautiful sky painted in oranges and purples. And if that doesn't bring out the romantic in you, I don't know what will!

As you drift further away from land, soak your feet in the water or jump right in and explore what lies beneath its surface. Nothing says romance like snorkeling with your better half and discovering tropical fish in its depths!

Discover Local Culture at Local Markets

Exploring the local markets is a great way to get a glimpse of the traditional Maldives culture. Whether you're searching for a special souvenir to bring home or just want to soak up the atmosphere, these vibrant and bustling markets are definitely worth visiting. You can find everything from souvenirs and jewelry to colorful textiles, hand-crafted artwork, and plenty of local food options.

If you love to cook, then you won't want to miss out on the amazing fresh seafood available at the markets. From crayfish and crabs to giant shrimps and delicious fish, this is a real treat for any seafood lover.

Get Close to Nature With Snorkeling or Scuba Diving

You and your special someone can get up close and personal with some of the world's most amazing marine life with a couple's snorkeling or scuba diving trip. The Maldives are known for their crystal clear waters and abundant Coral Reefs, so you're sure to behold some wonderful sights!

See if you can spot the many species of colorful fish, like parrotfish, surgeonfish, emperor angelfish, clownfish, and more. Or get in a little deeper and explore the coral gardens full of vibrant sea anemones, soft corals like gorgonians, and dancing feather stars. Who knows what else you'll see!

In addition to its variety of beautiful sea creatures, the Maldives is also home to manta rays, whale sharks, and blue whales.

If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try the local staple of mas hunt? This dish is made with shredded tuna mixed with onions, chili peppers, and coconut flakes. It’s usually eaten as a breakfast dish but can also be enjoyed any time of day.

If you’re looking for a romantic dinner, take a trip out to one of the many overwater restaurants located on some of the resorts. Here, you will be able to experience breathtaking views as you enjoy fresh seafood and other offerings from their international menus. Whether it’s a romantic dinner with sunset views or an intimate lunch overlooking turquoise waters, dining in the Maldives is an experience like no other!

Watch a Spectacular Fire Show

For something really romantic and unique, why not treat yourselves to a fire show? The Maldives is known for its incredible fire shows, and you can find one right on the beach. You and your partner can sit back and enjoy an interesting display of music, dance and fire.

The performers will use poi, hula hoops, diabolo, and even a fan to create amazing shows. It’s mesmerizing to watch, and you’ll be captivated from the moment the show begins. It’s a great way to end the day with a little bit of romance. The fire show is also an opportunity for some great photos!

Take a Trip to the Sea Plane Base

Head to the seaplane base and take in the beauty of the ocean from high above. Get a bird's eye view of the incredible coral reefs, islands, and lagoons of the region and be transported back to romantic moments from ages past.

The aircraft that fly out of this base is so close to the coral that you can practically touch it! This isn’t your regular sightseeing tour—this is an unforgettable and awe-inspiring experience that no other destination can offer. Feel the wind on your face as you soar over the crystal clear waters, taking in everything from small fishing boats to grand resorts. Enjoy a romantic dip in the water and watch dolphins play at sunset for an even more magical experience!
