The Minertaur Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'm getting married next March and we've been looking into honeymoon ideas. The Maldives is where we want to go - anybody been before? Recommendations? Must have a water villa. That's the only thing I need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 As long as you like doing nothing but eating and drinking, it's paradise. There's literally nothing to do. Amazing place that really has to be seen to be believed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby carlos Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Went to kuredu for mine the wife's honeymoon in May 2010 we stayed in a ocean view villa, there was water villa's but too expensive for us. Totally relaxing but as doulukefish said night life is a bit quiet. Weather was temperamental as well, pissing down to el scorchio with a blink of an eye.

Albertlegend Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 We went to the Maldives and it's hands down the most beautiful place in the world! Island hoping is pretty amazing. As everyone else has said tho its not an action packed holiday, sunbathing, eating and drinking and that's about it, maybe a bit of water sports if that's your thing.

mjw Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We landed in Male on the way to Sri Lanka and it was one of the most amazing things I've seen.Its always been on my to do list but its always quite pricy around the festive season when we go away.

heedthebaa Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Went to Meedhupparu island and was paradise. As the others say there's f**k all to do, but tan,eat and get blootered. 20 over the water villas on the island, but around two couples using them. I struck a deal with the manager and got 3 of them for 4 nights for £600 for the family, well worth it. Snorkelling was superb btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Was going to add, it's about half the price to upgrade to a water villa when you're over there. You run the risk of there being no availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Maldives is where we want to go - anybody been before? Recommendations? Must have a water villa. That's the only thing I need! I went there on honeymoon, stopping off in Dubai on the way home to break up the fear of returning. My wife and I have been to a few places on holiday but never the same place twice... but if there's one place we'd go back to in a heartbeat it's the Maldives. It was the best holiday I've been on by a mile. We stayed at Athuruga: http://athurugabeach.diamondsresorts.com/eng Sunset water villa, with complimentary breakfast room service if you cba going to the restaurant, which was me for the whole week. The replenished mini-bar was great for a lazy post-diving afternoon. That resort doesn't have the wee infinity pools in the villas, but who needs one when your own decking has steps into the house reef. Within about 15 mins of checking in to the villa, I was in the water snorkelling, and within a few moments of that I saw a sea turtle munching on coral before it swam right past me. Spoiler Unforgettable moment. Nevermind the reef sharks, eagle rays and then the manta rays that we saw during the course of the week. The sun wasn't out much in the first couple of days but it was still roasting. There was an overnight storm on the first night, other than that the weather was great. If you're even remotely interested in water sports, it's a great place to go. If you're keen on sampling scuba diving there isn't a better place in the world to try it out IMO. I break out in a big cheesy smile anytime I get asked about the honeymoon. I couldn't recommend it enough. But it's pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely buzzing for it - have never had a holiday where there is literally nothing to do with my feet up. Was all excited to see what beers they have on the Island....checked a restaurant menu and seen that they have Carlsberg & San Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place looks pretty amazing! You could walk the circumference of the island I was at in about five minutes, Kuramathi is a lot bigger with some proper forest and more wildlife. Enjoy, I'd go there again in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for any husbands out there who have to sit and watch that every week Horrendously annoying people on the show aside the island looks incredible and they had footage of the water villa type that we'll be staying in. Looks simply amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want to try out the Maldives but not sure what I should be expecting to pay for a water villa in a decent resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 This page has given me a craving for visiting this place! I see it looks pricey but at the same time it looks like there is nothing to do so surely spending money isn't a whole lot? I like to take £1000 with me wherever I go so what of that I wouldn't need would go towards the cost of getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
