 Does
relaxing and playing on a remote private island
while staying at the world's most luxurious
resorts sound like your ideal honeymoon? If
yes, then this trip will take you to new levels
of pampering, relaxation, luxury and serenity.
As
your flight approaches the Maldives, you will
see below tiny, freckle-like islands scattered
across the ocean. This remarkable slice of heaven
will be your home for the next couple of week.
Step off the plane and feel the sun kiss your
cheeks; slowly breathe in the magnificent sea
air. You have arrived at your secret honeymoon
spot, well, not just yet - a luxury speedboat
is waiting to whisk you away to your first stop
on the paradise trail - the breathtaking Huvafen
Fushi Resort, a unique property that truly redefines
tropical chic.
 After
a brief sail, you are greeted dockside by your
personal host who will escort you to your lavish
beach bungalow. Among the room's opulent amenities
are a private courtyard with an open air bathroom
and rainfall shower, a large private pool with
daybed, and a plasma screen TV if you feel compelled
to check in with the outside world (doubtful).
Lazy days here consist of strolling the white
sand beach, sunbathing by your pool, and cooling
off with dips in the translucent lagoon. With
no set schedule, you will have lots of time
to connect with your surroundings and each other.
 For
a truly unique pampering experience, you and
your spouse will indulge in a romantic couples
massage in the world's first underwater spa
treatment room. As you discover bliss, you will
catch glimpses of technicolor sea life as it
glides by. After the massage comes to an end,
you may be tempted to dive in and bond with
your new marine friends, but wait a day or so
because the next part of your trip will allow
plenty of opportunities to mingle with the sea.
Upon
parting ways with Huvafen Fushi, it's all aboard
the Four Seasons Explorer, a private 128-foot
yacht equipped with 11 luxurious cabins and
a full range of amenities, including an exceptional
restaurant, spacious sun decks, a Jacuzzi, a
library, and a PADI dive center.
 Over
the next three days you will island hop between
a number of the Maldives' more exotic atolls,
seeing places that few visitors get to experience.
For dive enthusiasts, you will have an opportunity
to explore some of the most pristine and undisturbed
reefs in the world. Dives, which can be done
during the day or night, are led by an experienced
marine biologist.
Not
a diver? No worries, there are plenty of other
ways to pass the time, including snorkeling,
island sightseeing, deep sea fishing, kayaking,
windsurfing and sunset barbecues on completely
secluded and uninhabited islands (think Robinson
Crusoe).
 After
a few days at sea, it is time to return to shore
for some final indulgence at the new One & Only
Reethi Rah. Opened in May of 2005, this exclusive
resort has quickly become one of the gems of
the Maldives. Its location is unique in that
it sits on a relatively large, octopus-shaped
island, which translates into a wider array
of land-based attractions, including 12 different
beaches!
 Upon
checking in, you will be guided to your private
overwater bungalow, fully equipped with a large
deck, a "basking net" (similar to a hammock)
perched just above the lagoon (perfect for sunning),
and incredibly spacious living quarters featuring
contemporary Asian décor. All needs will be
taken care of instantly by your personal 24-hour
butler. Relax, sip champagne on your private
deck and gaze into the mystical turquoise water
while watching the sun rise or set. In the evening
visit one of three chic restaurants or enjoy
live music at the Rah Bar.
If
you feel like being more active, you can try
your hand at tennis, sailing, snorkeling, and
sunset dhoni fishing. Or, simply meander around
the island in search of your own private cove
beach or one of the many hidden hammocks placed
for optimum relaxation.
After
being immersed in total luxury, you may find
it challenging to return to the real world,
but alas, all good things must come to an end.
As you depart for home, you should feel completely
rejuvenated, recharged and ready to start your
journey through married life.
Who
will enjoy
this trip
Couples who desire the ultimate in luxury and
pampering, but also have a taste for the exotic.
Those wanting to unplug from reality. Those
who enjoy relaxation and water activities. This
trip can also be combined with a stay in Dubai,
Southeast Asia or a number of European capitals.
Who
should avoid this trip
Couples who want a wide range of activity, nightlife
and dining options. Couples who get antsy after
a few days on the beach.
