The Maldives with its abundance of sand, sea and sky poses as the ultimate rendezvous for a romantic tryst this Valentine's Day. Named the World’s Most Romantic Destination, the island nation hosts some exclusive properties to commemorate the love this February. One such jewel in the pool is Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa tucked away in the turquoise waters of Lhaviyani atoll.
This time around, Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa has curated a very unique selection of experiences for the ‘Lover’s Day’ with their avant-garde J’Adore L’Amour Package. The package begins at $600+ and includes a suite of intimate journeys specially designed to cater to the two of you.
During your stay on the property, everything will be romanticized starting with your choice of accommodation. Couples can opt for an overwater villa with panoramic expanses of the ocean or a beach bungalow where the slow rhythm of the water sets the stage for a romantic getaway. Putting meaning into true abandonment, the island also offers a true castaway experience where guests can enjoy a very private stay, surrounded by nothing but a sun-drenched lagoon and thriving coral gardens.
This Valentine’s Day the hearts and stomachs will be full of extravagant gastronomy set against the Indian Ocean backdrop. Chocolate always forms part of any intimate setting, therefore, begin with a tantalizing bite of chocolate followed by complimentary bubbles of Sparkling Kir Royale.
After toasting to many more good years, couples can lavish on international spreads of breakfast delicacies, fit to rival royalty. Dining under open skies and ocean breezes at Turquoise Restaurant are included in the package, allowing duos to savour the good things in life while enjoying the company of their loved ones.
To further elevate the romantic retreat, embrace the season of love at Explore Spa where two exclusive treatments are featured for the month. The bespoke treatments are inspired by the symbol of romance & freshness- Red Roses. Infused by the scent of red roses, unwind and relax with couple massages ‘Escape to Romance’ and ‘La Vie En Rose’
Escape to Romance (150 minutes, $500++ per couple)
Initiated with a signature foot ritual set amidst rose petals, the treatment moves on to a full body massage. A unique blend of body exfoliation techniques and body wraps follow, designed using active ingredients of rose petals and Gotu kola. The treatment finishes with a hydrating express facial.
La Vie En Rose (90 minutes $360++ per couple)
A traditional foot ritual welcomes couples to their private spa suite where a series of treatments take place. This includes skin brushing and a spice blend body massage before closing with a nourishing hair and scalp massage. The latter is known to relieve stress and restore inner harmony to the soul.
In addition to this, Le Méridien also makes way for enchanting romantic gestures that will thrill partners. This includes hosting intimate candle-lit dinners on a deserted island, drinking in golden seascapes and breathtaking sunsets hand in hand on dolphin cruises and snuggling up on bean bags while watching a blockbuster movie in the outdoor cinema among others.
Moreover, lovers can also enjoy more interactive journeys here too such as foraging at the Green House for freshly prepared meals or lending a hand in the conservation of coral reefs. With a wealth of options to tailor your romantic holiday to your preference, Le Méridien Resort & Spa spoils guests with a myriad of choices to celebrate this Valentine’s Day.
