One island, one resort, and the sea all to yourselves.

The honeymoon you have been picturing — turquoise lagoon, your own villa over the water
The Maldives is barely a couple of hours from Bangalore, yet it feels like another planet — a thousand-odd coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, each ringed by a lagoon in impossible shades of blue. Here the rule is simple and romantic: one island, one resort. You step off a seaplane or speedboat and the whole island is your honeymoon, with overwater villas, a private stretch of sand, and a house reef you can swim out to before breakfast.
For Indian couples it is wonderfully easy — a free 30-day visa on arrival, direct flights from Kempegowda, and English spoken everywhere. We match you to the right resort for your budget and style, sort the seaplane or speedboat transfer, and handle the small print so the only decision left to you is beach villa or overwater. If you would rather travel light on the wallet, we can also base you on a local island like Maafushi, with guesthouses, sandbank trips and the same dazzling water at a fraction of the cost.
Plan Maldives with our experts
What you'll see and do
Overwater villas
Wake up over a glass-clear lagoon and step straight from your deck into the sea.
One island, one resort
Each resort has its own island, so the beach and the reef are effectively yours.
Seaplane & speedboat transfers
A skim across the lagoon, or a little seaplane over a mosaic of turquoise atolls.
Snorkelling the house reef
Swim out to turtles, reef sharks and clouds of tropical fish, no boat needed.
World-class diving
Manta rays, whale sharks and pristine coral for first-timers and pros alike.
Private sandbank picnics
Be dropped on a bare spit of white sand in the middle of the ocean, just the two of you.
Honeymoon touches
Candlelit beach dinners, floating breakfasts in your villa pool, couples' spa.
Bioluminescence & local life
See the sea of stars glow at night, and taste real Maldivian food on a local island.

Travel tips from our team
- Submit the IMUGA declaration within 96 hours before you fly out and home — use only the official site
- Seaplanes fly only in daylight — we time flights so an evening landing does not cost you a day
- Resort islands serve alcohol; local islands like Maafushi are alcohol-free, so plan accordingly
- Resorts bill in US dollars — carry a card and some dollars; rufiyaa is rarely needed by tourists
- Pack reef-safe sunscreen and a light cover-up; on local islands dress modestly off the bikini beach
- Mention your honeymoon when we book — many resorts add free upgrades, decor or a private dinner
Maldives, answered
Do Indians need a visa for the Maldives?
No advance visa is needed — a free 30-day visa on arrival. Just submit the online IMUGA Traveller Declaration within 96 hours before arrival and departure, and carry a confirmed hotel booking and a return ticket.
How long is the flight from Bangalore to the Maldives?
Quick — a direct flight from Bengaluru to Malé takes only about 1.5 to 2 hours on IndiGo or Air India, with one-stop options via Colombo too.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season — sunny skies and superb water clarity, and the priciest window (especially mid-December to April). May to October is greener, quieter and cheaper with short tropical showers.
What is the difference between a resort island and a local island like Maafushi?
A resort island is a private island with one luxury resort — overwater villas and total seclusion. A local island like Maafushi has guesthouses and dive shops at far lower prices, the same stunning water, but follows local customs (no alcohol, modest dress off the bikini beach).
How much does a Maldives honeymoon from Bangalore cost?
An entry-level resort honeymoon with flights, a beach-villa stay and transfers starts from about ₹62,000 per person; overwater trips commonly run ₹1,20,000+ per couple, and a Maafushi local-island trip costs less. Tell us your dates on WhatsApp for an exact quote.
