Anniversary trips in the Maldives

An anniversary is a perfect reason to visit the Maldives, whether it is your first year together or a milestone. Each resort sits on its own island, with quiet beaches, overwater villas and dinners by the sea. This guide shares ideas and lists hand-picked resorts couples often choose. For a first trip together, see our honeymoon guide.

Ideas for your anniversary

Many couples book a private dinner on the beach, a sunset cruise, a couples' spa treatment or a breakfast served in the villa. Some renew their vows on the sand. Tell us what you would like, and we will ask the resort what it can arrange. Our weddings and vow renewals guide has more detail.
