Planning a honeymoon? Honeymoons abroad from Kerala

The Maldives is the trip for doing very little, very well. A resort on its own island, a villa over the lagoon, water clear enough to see the fish from the deck, and a house reef a few strokes from the beach.

Our Maldives trip pairs an overwater villa with snorkelling, a sunset dolphin cruise and a day hopping to a local island and a sandbank. Water sports and a private sandbank picnic cost extra. Speedboat or seaplane transfers depend on the resort and are set out before you book. We help you choose the island for the way you travel: quiet and adults-first, or with a kids’ club.

When to go
December to April is dry and bright. May to November is wetter and windier, with lower prices and good diving.
Getting there
Direct flights to Malé go from several Indian cities, and the resort meets you at the airport. We quote your flights from your city with the trip.
From Kerala
Malé is about an hour and a half non-stop from Kochi, one of the shortest flights abroad from Kerala, and about an hour and a quarter non-stop from Trivandrum. From Calicut or Kannur we price the best route for your dates.
Visa
Indian passport holders: the Maldives gives a free arrival visa with a confirmed resort booking and return ticket; we check what is needed when you book.
Prices
From ₹1,70,499 per person, twin sharing, flights extra.
Trip lengths
5 nights; each one can be changed around your dates.

It depends on how far the resort is from Malé. Near resorts use speedboats; far atolls use seaplanes, which fly only in daylight. We say which before you book.

It depends on the plan you pick: breakfast only, half board, full board or all inclusive. Food on a resort island is not cheap, so we price the choices side by side.

No. Many resorts have family villas and kids’ clubs, and a calm lagoon is a good first sea for children. Tell us their ages and we suggest the right island.

Our price covers the resort, the meal plan and the boat or seaplane transfer. We quote flights from your city with the trip, for your dates. Your landing time matters for far resorts: seaplanes fly only in daylight, so for most of them plan to land by about 3 pm to reach the resort the same day. Each resort sets its own cut-off, and we check it for your dates.

No visa is needed in advance. Indian passport holders get a free tourist visa on arrival, usually for up to 30 days. Carry a passport valid for at least one month, your confirmed return ticket and your paid resort booking. Each traveller, children included, fills in the free Traveller Declaration on the official IMUGA website within 96 hours before landing. Children need their own passport.

Yes. Most resorts serve Indian dishes and vegetarian choices, and several have their own Indian restaurant; a few offer Jain menus. The choice differs from island to island, so tell us what you eat before you book and we pick a resort that suits you.

Resorts price in US dollars, and major cards such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express are widely accepted. Carry some US dollars in small notes for tips and the local island visit, where cash is handier. The local money is the rufiyaa. Resort bills add Maldives tourism tax, and the Green Tax is charged per person per night.

At the resort, wear what you like. On a local island, cover your shoulders and knees, and keep swimwear for the “bikini beach” if the island has one. Alcohol and pork are not allowed on local islands, and you cannot bring alcohol into the country, but resorts serve it.

Seaplane transfers usually allow 20 kg of checked luggage and 5 kg of hand luggage each, with a charge for anything over that. Pack light: cotton clothes, swimwear, a hat and sun cream. Keep medicines in your hand luggage. On most seaplanes, babies under two fly free on a parent’s lap; we confirm this with your resort.

The Christmas break is the best fit: the dry season starts in December, so book early, as resorts fill. The April–May summer break is still good, warmer and a little wetter towards May. Onam falls in the monsoon, with lower prices and choppier transfers. A short flight also makes a three- or four-night trip work in a long weekend.

Our Maldives trip costs ₹1,70,499 per person, twin sharing, for 5 nights. Flights or trains from your city are quoted on top, for your dates. Every price is for the plan as written; we change it around your dates and quote again.

    Thanks to you and the Ethan Holiday team for organizing a fantastic Kashmir trip and making it so memorable! Our guide’s knowledge and friendliness made our experience great. The houseboat stay and the hotel in Gulmarg were both wonderful, with the food arrangements at the Gulmarg hotel being especially commendable. Everything was well coordinated, making the journey smooth. […] Thank you once again, and we look forward to more journeys with you in the future!
