Monika and Karan, Maldives
From a post-midnight walk on a bridge to snorkeling in shark-infested waters, Monika and Karan relished every moment of their Maldives honeymoon
Monika and Karan immersed themselves in the romantic atmosphere of sunny Maldives on their relaxing five-day honeymoon. Here, Monika shares some highlights of their trip.
Honeymoon Planning
“We really wanted to go to Greece for our honeymoon, but as we were moving to Canada with its freezing winter, we decided to relax and explore the beauty of sunny Maldives instead. All I wanted to do was chill on the beach, dive into the deep waters, sip a drink and be with the one I love. Maldives is synonymous with luxury, peace and refined indulgences, so we planned a five-day trip to the dreamy paradise. We stayed at the Conrad Hilton there, which is one of the best properties in the country, and that made our honeymoon a truly memorable one.”
Honeymoon Highlight
“We used to start our day with romantic open air showers with natural rain or bubble baths. We also went snorkeling with the sharks which proved to be the ultimate underwater experience.”
Best Meal
“Our best meal of the trip was the organic cheesecake, pumpkin and confit shallot risotto with orange broth and horseradish chutney. However, the uttapam and sambhar made exclusively for us by the talented non-Indian Chef Dora was also delicious.”
Most Romantic Moment
“Our most romantic moment took place around 2 am when we took a stroll down a bridge connecting two islands. It was the most serene experience as we walked around holding hands, with the sound of the waves in the background. As cliched as it may sound, we didn’t need words to communicate, we just knew that it was our moment.”
Advice for Couples
“For thrill seekers, foodies and connoisseurs of fine things and refined experiences, Maldives is your ideal honeymoon destination. Make the most of the private beaches, lovely pools and chefs at places like Conrad Hilton and similar resorts, and relish every moment of your time in this beautiful paradise.”
Must Experience
“Explore and try out the underwater experiences of Maldives and indulge in the natural beauty and serenity of this beautiful haven.”
