The Maldives is the classic luxury honeymoon: your own overwater villa, glass-clear lagoons and complete privacy, just a short flight from India.
The right resort makes the trip, so we match you to one by budget, meal plan and transfer type (speedboat or seaplane). Mixing a beach villa with an overwater villa is a smart way to stretch your budget.
