I’ve always dreamt of spending a honeymoon in a romantic and magical place like the Maldives, but I would never have thought that I would go there with one of my friends instead. We set off on a journey to discover the enchanting beauty of these islands located in the southwest of India, with their natural sceneries and marine gateways. Excited for an adventure to escape the stress of work and the ongoing fears of COVID-19, we chose the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, the third largest resort in the Maldives.

Journey

Our flight took about three and a half hours before we arrived at Velana International Airport in Malé, the capital of the Maldives. It was crowded with travelers from all over the world, but we got through easily and found one of the resort staff waiting for us to accompany us the rest of the way.

The weather was beautiful at around 28 degrees, and the sky was like a painting decorated with scattered clouds, unlike anything we had seen before. We also found that booking a resort near the airport was a good idea, as we avoided the seaplane and instead had a comfortable 20-minute boat trip, which we spent taking selfies.

Accommodation

The joy of breathing in the ocean air surrounded by the blue waters was only the beginning of our unforgettable trip to the luxury resort, which sits on a private island in an atoll north of Malé, surrounded by a turquoise lagoon, sandy beaches, and swaying palm trees. As soon as we arrived, we received a warm welcome. The resort staff served us a delicious tropical drink and explained the various activities that the Sheraton Maldives has to offer.
