Water bungalow experience in the Maldives: Heaven-sent for romance
The Maldives, with its 26 atolls, is the ideal destination for holiday romance. Well-developed enough to ensure convenience and all the luxuries, each island provides a haven of secluded beaches, crystal-clear lagoons and some of the best diving in the world.Accommodation options in the destination are amongst the very best in the world, with traditional Maldivian-style over-water bungalows providing a unique experience and the ultimate privacy. Т Each resort has its own take on the water bungalow theme тЂ“ ranging from rustic to super luxe. One great honeymoon or romance choice is Anantara Veli Maldives Resort & SpaтЂ™s deluxe over-water bungalows, boasting contemporary dУ©cor with indigenous fabrics, hardwood floors and a coconut thatch roof. While the whole point is to lose yourselves in natureтЂ™s dazzling beauty, some Maldivian resorts such as Anantara boast all the mod cons of city resorts тЂ“ personal surround-sound stereos, high-speed internet, flat-screen TVs and CD/DVD/MP3 players. Each over-water bungalow is self-contained, with private sun terraces, discrete outdoor terrazzo tubs for two and steps leading directly down into the lagoon, rare marine life darting in and out of a palette of corals. Most resorts in the Maldives offer a choice of restaurants on the island, as well as a spa and numerous recreation facilities. Diving is a must, as is a traditional dhoni cruise at sunset. There are a whole host of temptations on each island, yet perhaps the most tempting activity is to simply shut out the world in your private over-water bungalow and enjoy a paradise for two.
