Travel Info Please could you include details of why you think it is Thank you in advance. :-) Travel Tips Dont know where you live but most likely there are a ton of places as good if not better, cheaper, and a lot less hassle to get too. Others we went to the maldives for our honeymoon in 1994, the island was called kuredu this took about an hour on the boat from male which is the main land. very nice island water sports scuba diving other activities or you can take it easy on the lovely beaches. good luck Hi, It depends how much money you want to spend. If you are interested in 5 star properties the best would be Soneva Fushi, Huvafenfushi, one and only Kanuhura, Taj Exotica. If you are looking at somewhat cheaper, that would be Reethi Beach,Baros, Full Moon, Kurumba. Even low budget would be Velidhu, Embudhu Village. The best is to look into the Maldives website on www.visitmaldives.com to have an idea and the best is to book through a tour operator as it would be cheaper than booking direct. I have choosen these resorts as they are not over crowded and guests can have thier privacy and they really cater for honeymooners faru you can find club med it's new and all the staff there is the best or hilton resort is 5 stars with spa many resorts are over the water is on two flor and a waiter near your cottage for everythyngs you want. Wish have the best time of your life! Hi there. My wife and I went to Kuramathi on our honeymoon, and having learnt about a lot of resorts, I think we made the right choice. Some islands are like tiny specks in the ocean with simply the room, the beach, a pool and a buffet restaurant. Others are so large and sophisticated that they lose the desert island appeal that makes the Maldives so special. Kuramathi is somewhere in between and perfect for it. It has three small resorts spread evenly along the island, each with its own beautiful restaurant (an Indian, a Thai and a wonderful grill), along with the standard buffet-style restaurants. The island is so small that you can walk its length in about 30 minutes. Despite the three resorts, it doesn't feel busy or over-developed. The beaches are beautiful, with some of the best scuba diving in the whole Maldives. There's a lagoon at one end of the island, where the water is still and the snorkling astonishing. But wherever you decide to snorkel (and make sure you do) the amount of tropical fish on display with amaze you. All-inclusive holidays are the most popular, but we opted for B&B. This meant we weren't obliged to eat at the buffet restaurants every night, and could take our pick of the other three venues on offer (all-inclusive holidaymakers have to pay extra for this too). I would recommend the Kuramathi Cottage & Spa resort, which the mid-priced option. As well as being beautiful, it gives you easy access to a pool with a not-to-be-missed health spa, watersports, top beaches, a great bar area and, being centrally placed, is not far from anywhere on the island. I could go on and on. It was so wonderful. Take a look at the island's website http://www.kuramathi.com/. Go here and you will not regret it. A couple of tips. If you fly Monarch, go for their Premier Economy class. The regular economy class is cramped beyong belief, apparently, whereas the Premier class was great (I'm very tall and appreciated the extra legroom) and you have a separate check-in. Also, get the seaplane connection to the island. It only takes 20 mins and is a real experience. The boat trasfer takes 90 minutes and was, by all accounts, horrendous. Be aware though that unless you get into the scuba diving, there is nothing to do but swim, scorkel, sunbathe, eat, drink, read and relax . Believe it or not, it actually takes time to adapt to bascially doing nothing. In the evening they occasionally have some light entertainment (nothing tacky or intrusive) but apart from that it's very quiet and some people looked at a loose end. We ended up taking travel Scrabble (don't laugh) and found it was a nice way of whiling away the evenings, while sipping cocktails. Other couples had backgammon or chessboards. Those that didn't ended up not talking to eachother and going to bed early. Each to their own, I suppose, but at the very least take a lot of reading matter!! Oh yes, and the sun is fierce, because you are so close to the equator. I've been to hotter countries, but never felt the effects like I did in the Maldives. The humidity can feel stifling when you first arrive, but you soon get used to it. I hope I've been of some help. Good luck! |
