Couples seeking romance in the sun are guaranteed to be impressed with the superb Water Villas and unusual renewal of vows and honeymoon packages available at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa, Rangali Island.  This idyllic retreat offers the perfect luxurious hideaway, with white, coco-palm lined beaches, sumptuous candle lit dinners under the stars, sunset cruises on the resort’s private yacht and a stunning over-water spa with glass-floored treatment rooms to gaze down at the corals and fish whilst being pampered.  Honeymooners enjoying a Superior Water Villa, complete with jacuzzi and set on stilts over the Indian Ocean, are warmly greeted with Champagne, fresh fruit, a flower-bedecked bed, cake and a sunset cruise.

For couples wishing to have their wedding blessed in paradise there is a choice of stunning wedding ceremonies - from a beach wedding to a wedding aboard the private yacht or even an underwater wedding.

The underwater wedding takes place amid a vibrant coral reef in the warm, turquoise Indian Ocean.  The bride and groom don diving equipment to renew their vows underwater, declaring their love to each other on writing tablets, watched by shoals of inquisitive fish! After the ceremony, the celebration continues with a romantic sunset champagne cruise followed by a gourmet seafood dinner and a bed decorated with fresh flowers, a video of the wedding and special gifts in their water villa.  This ‘renewal of love’ ceremony can be booked directly through the hotel and costs from £1,200 plus diving equipment hire.
