5 days • 4 nights • Maldives
Four nights at a resort on a private island, with an overwater villa, coral reefs and sunset boat trips.
A Maldives honeymoon is an experience like no other: a small island occupied only by your resort, clear turquoise water beneath your villa, and coral reefs steps from the beach. We designed the 5-day Maldives tour to be a truly relaxing getaway, with a transfer from the airport by speedboat or seaplane depending on the resort's location. The Maldives is made up of more than a thousand coral islands in the Indian Ocean, and many of its resorts occupy an entire island of their own.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Malé are available, and the program is built around a single resort that we choose with you according to your budget and style: a beach villa for families, or an overwater villa with a private pool for newlyweds, with a half-board, full-board or all-inclusive meal plan. The stay can easily be split between two resorts or extended. We help you compare resorts clearly by location, how you get there and what the meal plan includes.
Pick-up at Velana International Airport by a resort representative, then transfer to the island by speedboat if the resort is close, or by seaplane on a panoramic flight over the coral islands. Check in at the villa, and the rest of the day is for relaxing and getting to know the resort.
A day devoted to the sea: snorkeling on the coral reefs around the island, with colorful fish and sometimes turtles and harmless small sharks. In the afternoon there is time for the spa, or for swimming straight from your villa's terrace.
A boat trip to a secluded white sandbank in the middle of the ocean for hours of calm, swimming and photos. At sunset, a cruise with a good chance of seeing the dolphins that are often spotted in Maldivian waters.
A completely free day to choose what suits you: kayaking or paddleboarding, a scuba diving trip for beginners and experienced divers, or a private dinner on the beach. At some resorts you can book a trip to swim with manta rays or whale sharks, depending on season and location.
A last breakfast by the sea, then check-out and transfer to Velana Airport. If time allows, you can take a short tour of the capital, Malé, including the old Friday Mosque built from coral stone, before your return flight to Istanbul.

| Maldives (island resort) | 4 | A 4- or 5-star resort; one close to Malé offers a quick speedboat transfer, while a distant one stands out for its privacy, with a seaplane flight. For newlyweds we suggest an overwater villa, and for families a more spacious beach villa. |

There is no single best resort for everyone. One close to Malé shortens transfer time, one with a nearby house reef suits snorkeling lovers, and resorts with kids' clubs suit families. Tell us your priorities and we will recommend the best fit.
The speedboat serves resorts close to Malé and runs day and night, while the seaplane serves distant resorts and gives you a wonderful view of the islands, but it runs in daylight only and costs more.
Yes, many resorts offer spacious beach villas, kids' clubs and relatively safe shallow beaches. We choose a resort that suits your children's ages.
From the OYA guide
A guide for couples choosing a honeymoon destination in Turkey by season and taste, with a comparison table, a suggested 9-day itinerary and romantic touches that make the difference.
Turkey has varied climates, so what suits Istanbul may not suit Antalya or Uzungöl in the same month. A month-by-month guide helps you choose the timing and the destination together.
Instead of generic numbers that don't fit your trip, we explain the components of travel costs in Turkey and what raises and lowers them, with a simple way to calculate a one-week budget and practical saving tips.
