Maldives

I have travelled to the Maldives twice with my husband and both times it has been out of this world.

We stayed at the Sun Island Resort, travelling by seaplane which gives you spectacular views of the islands. Upon landing we were given a warm welcome drink and a refreshing face towel, both of which were gratefully received after such a long journey. We were taken to our water bungalow which was truly breath-taking with sun loungers on the patio with steps leading directly into the clear shallow ocean.

The Maldives are beautiful and it’s fair to say we didn't do too much except relax for two weeks, lazing by the pool having our drinks replenished by the poolside waiter!

We did however, do an excursion to see the dolphins. We were up and on a boat by 5.30am to see the dolphins in their natural habitat, and amazing and well worth the early start.

The hotel itself is fantastic and spotlessly clean, the staff work so hard and always have a smile for you.

On tip I would give is make sure you travel all inclusive as the drinks and food are very expensive as everything has to be imported into the islands.

If you are looking for a perfect honeymoon or just a completely relaxing holiday, the Maldives is for you.
