Pre-Covid, during Covid, post-Covid – The Maldives remains the topnotch and the best choice for a destination wedding. The country’s topography provides exceptional safety for both tourists and locals. In addition, one island is on its own; each resort is its private island. Pre-Covid, the pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and mesmerizing sunset settings have been a popular pick for many brides and grooms. And during Covid back in the year 2020, when most of the world shut, traveling halted, The Maldives took a bold direction by opening its borders to all nationality setting forth extensive precautionary measures ensuring its safety of people and tourists alike.
It’s one island, one resort concept where only tourists and working staff are permitted to stay on the resort island, and required PCR tests for all incoming tourists have made the country the only favorite destination in the world. Two years have passed since the pandemic, and since the Maldives opened its borders on July 15, 2020, it has never looked back. Everything is going well and progressing; the country no longer requires PCR tests to enter the country, nor does it require the guests or staff to wear masks. The happy faces with smiles are back on the sunny side of life – The Maldives!

Quintessential Maldivian Hospitality: The couple will have the most undivided time and bond with their family and guests – they have nowhere else to go.
Book In Advance: There will only be one wedding each day in one resort. Blocking the date is best done at least 6 months – availability is hard to get.
