With its idyllic scenery and climate, the whole of the Maldives is ideal for a romantic couples’ holiday.

It offers a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities, most of the latter of the aquatic kind. For the full honeymoon experience, book at Veligandu Island Resort & Spa.

The Maldives island of Vihamanaafushi is the preferred place for revellers and holidaymakers wanting to make the most of the archipelago's nightlife. The most famous venue for this is Kurumba Maldives, a hotel that hosts a constant stream of nighttime entertainment. Live jazz is a speciality. The hotel also boasts a spa and a dive centre that allows you to explore the subterranean coastline during the day. Otherwise, head to Kuredu resort island, also very popular with the party crowd. A good choice of hotel on this island is Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa.

Most of the annual events and festivals in the Maldives are of a religious nature and follow the Muslim calendar. The Kuda Eid Festival is a 3-day celebration of the end of Ramadan; it’s when the islands break out in traditional dance ceremonies that are interesting for tourists to observe. The festival takes place on all the islands, with the bulk of the festivities centred around the capital of Malé. To be close to the centre of the town at this time, book a hotel like the Samaan Grand.
