Destination Weddings in the Maldives

Enjoy a beautiful wedding ceremony in a beautiful location - the Maldives. These tropical islands, grouped into 26 coral atolls, offer a taste of paradise. Their coral reefs and pristine marine life are renowned all over the world. Upon your arrival for a dreamlike wedding, the sight of the island's brilliant turquoise lagoons and white sand beaches will take your breath away.

The island of Malé is also the Maldives capital city. Many fascinating hours can be spent wandering through the maze of streets and selecting souvenirs from the markets. Also popular for shopping is the group of stores known as the 'Singapore Bazaar', where local handicrafts are on sale.

Malé includes over 20 mosques, from tiny one-room structures to the huge Grand Friday Mosque which can be seen from virtually any point on the small island. The oldest of Malé's mosques, the Hukuru Miski, features highly detailed stone carvings which date back to the 13th century.

Seenu is the Maldives second city and its selection of resorts are a good base from which to visit traditional island communities, who seem to have lived life in the same way for hundreds of years. You may be lucky enough to see a performance of bodu beru, the traditional dance and music of the islands.

The Maldives resort islands are simply stunning. Most are located in the atolls of North Malé, South Malé and Ari, which are close to the capital. Their palm-fringed white sands, clear waters and tropical plant life seduce every visitor. Scuba-diving is the number-one activity in the Maldives, offering you the chance to see the beautiful underwater vistas close up.

The Maldives could hardly be more romantic, which make them the ideal setting for your wedding day. As you exchange your vows in these tropical surroundings, you can be sure that it is an experience you will never forget.
