Best Winter Sun Destination for Couples: Maldives
With constant warm temperatures throughout the year, a collection of more than 1,000 islands and countless opportunities for romance, the Maldives is the ultimate winter sun destination for couples. Some of the most popular ways to pass the time while on holiday in the Maldives involve being in the warm Indian Ocean. The coral reefs make surfing ideal off many of the atolls and islands, and lessons are readily available for beginners. If you would rather explore underwater, you could try snorkeling or scuba diving. Both are an incredible way to see manta rays, tropical fish and even the occasional shark.

Of course, the perfect getaway has to include the perfect accommodation. At One&Only Reethi Rah, luxury is part of the package. Private villas are available with sea views, or you could splurge and book a villa right on the sand just steps from the water. Staff are available 24 hours a day to help guests book activities, order room service and get everything they need to complete the magical holiday experience. Dining is a big part of a romantic holiday for couples, so you will pleased to note that the One&Only Reethi Rah boasts several restaurants offering formal international cuisine and casual beachfront fare.
