7. Como Cocoa Island
It only takes 40 minutes to reach Como Cocoa Island by boat from nearby Malé. Once you step foot on the isle, you’ll feel its passionate embrace. Pristine sandy beaches; warm azure water; and tall, waving palm trees caress visitors with their innate loveliness, massaging away any lingering pre-wedding stress.
The 24 thatched-roof overwater suites and villas are the crème de la crème of this island paradise. Newlyweds are welcomed into their calming interiors for a romantic interlude they’ll have trouble leaving behind. Each immaculate unit is beautifully decorated in crisp whites and natural browns.
They curve slightly to imitate the dhoni boats after which they are modeled, and each interior is designed to complement the impeccable view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Choose a villa with a pool for added luxury and privacy.
UFAA is the resort’s main restaurant, and it serves healthy, light meals. Faru Bar offers snacks and beverages next to the resort’s infinity pool, and meals can also be served in your room or, if you choose a private dining package, on a more secluded location on the island.
8. Adaaran Prestige Water Villas
Adaaran Prestige Water Villas knows how to dial up the romance. From decorating your bed with flowers and animal towel arrangements to arranging private excursions to deserted islands, this intimate resort in the Maldives is a paradise for lovers.
There’s nothing basic about the resort’s water villas. Natural wooden interiors (including the walls and floors), tiki roofs, and floor-to-ceiling windows accentuate the postcard-worthy view. Open the sliding doors onto your private deck, and peek through the glass floor at the creatures swimming below before jumping back in bed with your new spouse to enjoy a cuddle and a coffee with your vista. Then enjoy a soak in your personal outdoor Jacuzzi.
Enjoy a meal at one of the on-site restaurants, each of which offers views as marvelous as its food. Sufura offers buffet meals, while you can grab à la carte dishes at Water Villa or quick snacks from Café Mass.
