If I able to say that there are 3 (three) main reasons of why you must consider to held a Maldives wedding:
1 – To Enjoy Their Crystal Clear Sea Water Beach
When I was visiting Maldives for my first time than I was so surprise to see their ocean right from my plane’s window, yes they have two colours, the green and dark blue. Lately I know that the green one is shallow water and dark blue must be for the deep ocean.
If you held a Maldives wedding than I sure that you want to stay in such majestic view resort, yes it gonna be bit more expensive to stay but the view is amazing, you could doubt for it for sure and if you stay in their water villa area than this is what I’m going to suggest you for the most cause your room will stand right 3 meters above the sea level. So once you open your eyes in the morning and you gonna see the huge ocean right from your window’s room.
Go take your wooden stairs to the ocean and put your feet in it and you gonna realize that you are in the one of great crystal clear sea water beach.
2 – To See Majestic View That You Never had Before
Maldives has thousands of small island called Atoll even only hundred of them who had a good infrastructure, since its unique geographic conditions than you they have super view that will blown your mind and I sure that you never see this majestic view before.
When you stay there for couple nights than you wouldn’t hear any horn, traffic, or any street noise just like when you stay in a downtown of Los Angeles. You gonna only hear about water splash and bird chipping for whole day and that’s what make me always want to come back to Maldives again and again.
3 – Their Hospitality is Superb
Maldivian people are so humble, even I ever sit at their local restaurant and they provide me with good basic tourism things to know like culture, religion (they were 100% moslem), and some of the store at Male City will close for 10 minutes during the praying time.
Resort’s staff are so friendly and welcoming you like a family, they sway to you start from your boat or double propeller seaplane. They provide buggy too so like when I was in Lux* we can use it for free cause there is always a driver stand by till 10 pm. Food in a hotel was also tasty and gourmet, music begin in the morning and Maldivian’s smile are so amazing!
Lux* South Ari Atoll Breathtaking Scenery
Lux* South Ari Atoll is a 5 start resort that stand on 2 km long island, you can go to this resort right from the Velana International Airport with a double propeller seaplane or using a combination of domestic flight and speed boat. Look at my first picture below, they had a cute cylinder shape trees near by the beach which is so catchy and since it stands on long island so the staff provide free buggy shuttle to sightseeing around the resort.
Don’t miss their private exclusive attraction of baby shark and stingray feeding at 5pm, it’s totally for all the resort’s guest (even I stop my photo shoot for little while and sit together with my couple to see the hotel staff throw a meat to the ocean and suddenly we saw the baby shark is coming right below our wooden bridge.
If you want to book Lux* Resort both for the beach and water villa room than I suggest you to use Agoda, I got a better rates comparing the others.
