Overwater Honeymoon
A romantic stay in an overwater villa with a private pool, sunset cruises and dinners on the sand.
Overwater villas, coral atolls and the Indian Ocean at its most serene
The Maldives is a nation of coral atolls scattered across the equatorial Indian Ocean, famous for turquoise lagoons, powder-white beaches and overwater villas perched above the reef. Each resort typically occupies its own private island, reached by speedboat or seaplane, which makes it one of the world's great honeymoon and luxury escapes. Beneath the surface lies some of the finest diving and snorkeling anywhere, with manta rays, whale sharks and vast coral reef systems within easy reach.

The Maldives has two monsoon seasons. The dry northeast monsoon, from December to April, is the most reliable time to visit, with calm seas, low humidity, clear skies and the best underwater visibility for diving and snorkeling. January to March are typically the driest, sunniest months and the peak season. The wet southwest monsoon, from May to November, brings warmer seas, occasional showers and lower crowds, and it is prime time for manta rays and whale sharks, with the Hanifaru Bay aggregations peaking from around July to October.
