Couples seeking an unforgettable romantic escape in the Indian Ocean are invited to experience the season of love at Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa. Located on the picturesque island of Thilamaafushi in Lhaviyani Atoll, the eco-conscious resort is offering its signature Avec Amour programme this summer, a curated collection of experiences designed to celebrate romance in all its forms, whether it’s a honeymoon, a spontaneous couple’s getaway, or a destination wedding.
Blending timeless European charm with the natural beauty of the Maldives, the Avec Amour experience invites guests to reconnect through bespoke moments across the resort’s 22-acre island. Each stay begins in thoughtfully designed villas, where mid-century modern design harmonizes with sweeping ocean views. The villas, equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows and deep soaking bathtubs, create an intimate ambiance perfect for candlelit rituals that echo the rhythm of the sea.
Romantic indulgence begins from the first light of day with floating breakfasts served in the privacy of the villa’s pool. As the day progresses, couples can retreat to pristine beaches for a secluded picnic or dine beneath the stars with curated menus that include sparkling rosé. One of the resort’s newest offerings, the Ocean Nest, provides a dreamy retreat suspended above the turquoise lagoon, a netted hammock transformed into a plush hideaway, complete with duvets, pillows, handcrafted chocolate platters, and a chilled bottle of wine, all designed for tranquil sunset lounging or stargazing.
Dining at Le Méridien Maldives is a celebration of sustainability and sensuality. Guests can enjoy private teppanyaki sessions at Tabemasu, or take part in the Harvest Table experience, where fresh ingredients are sourced directly from the resort’s on-site hydroponic greenhouse, one of the largest of its kind in the Maldives. The culinary offerings emphasize conscious indulgence, allowing couples to bond over food that is both intentional and exquisite.
For adventure seekers, the house reef offers vibrant marine life including turtles, rays, and tropical fish, best experienced through guided snorkeling excursions. More spirited options include jetski rides alongside dolphins or outdoor movie screenings under the stars. Couples looking for relaxation can unwind at Explore Spa, an overwater haven with glass floor panels, where tailor-made treatments for two are set to the calming rhythm of the ocean.
As the sun sets, the adults-only pool and bar at La Vie become the heart of evening elegance, a peaceful space for golden-hour rosé, live acoustic performances, or interactive “sip and paint” sessions.
Those planning to tie the knot or renew their vows will find the island a spectacular venue for ceremonies. Whether proposing on a private beach or exchanging vows underwater, every celebration is infused with Maldivian culture from traditional Boduberu drumming to sunset cocktails and the constant embrace of the sea breeze. The resort’s professional photographers ensure each moment is preserved, turning fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes.
Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa was recently honored as the Best Honeymoon Resort in the Indian Ocean at the UK Weddings & Honeymoons Awards 2024, underscoring its dedication to crafting intimate and authentic romantic experiences.
To mark this season of romance, the resort has launched the Romantique Honeymoon package, a specially designed offering for newlyweds and couples beginning a new chapter. Available for a minimum stay of three nights, the package includes half board dining, a private three-course candlelit beach dinner with sparkling rosé, a couple’s spa session, a professional photoshoot, in-villa romantic touches, and more. Bookings are open for stays through 31 December 2025.
With its seamless blend of nature, design, and heartfelt service, Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa offers not just a holiday, but an ode to love. For more details or to plan your romantic island escape, visit lemeridien-maldives.com or contact reservations via email at [email protected].
