Escape to Jumeirah Maldives for the ultimate romantic retreat

Maldives.net.mv – The luxurious Jumeirah Dhevanafushi and Jumeirah Vittaveli resorts in the Maldives are offering a new ‘Island Romance’ package from October. The four night retreat will include relaxing spa treatments, fine-dining and romantic indulgences to create a blissful escape from the rest of the world.
Jumeirah Dhevanafushi is a secret hideaway in the heart of the Indian Ocean, offering complete seclusion 400 miles from the capital of Malé. The ‘Island Romance’ experience will treat couples to four nights of unforgettable moments, offering a sunken candlelit dinner on a private stretch of beach, a bespoke ‘Couples Connect’ Chakra treatment at the award-winning overwater Talise Spa, and a guided snorkelling tour of the reef in the crystal clear Indian Ocean. A luxurious bubble bath service and bed decoration in villa will capture the true spirit of romance. With a selection of opulent beach or water based villas to choose from, all with private pools and personal butlers, couples can rest assured that their every wish will be catered to.
Alternatively, couples looking for romance closer to Malé can opt for Jumeirah Vittaveli, just a 20-minute boat ride from Malé International Airport. The ‘Island Romance’ package includes four luxurious nights in one of the seven Ocean Suites, lavish retreats suspended over the crystal clear waters with private pools, decks, and butlers. Accessible only by speedboat, couples can make the most of the tranquillity with an included in-villa bath ceremony and couples’ spa treatment, followed by a private romantic dinner in a choice of stunning locations. A sunrise breakfast on a secluded stretch of beach will make each couple feel like the only inhabitants of this idyllic island.

Intimate, infinite, unscripted: Valentine’s at The Nautilus Maldives

This Valentine’s Day, The Nautilus Maldives invites guests to immerse themselves in Unwritten Nights — a celebration of love that unfolds freely, without schedules or scripts. At this ultra-luxury bohemian private island retreat, romance flows at its own pace: barefoot dinners beneath a canopy of stars, candlelight shimmering across the lagoon, and timeless moments that belong entirely to those who share them.
At the heart of Unwritten Nights lies a one-of-a-kind experience designed for a single couple. From sunrise yoga and sound healing on a secluded sandbank to an intimate art of chocolate alchemy workshop and a private starlit yacht dinner curated by a personal chef, each element is shaped by spontaneity and personal expression — a love story written only once.
As evening descends, Solasta Spa transforms into a sanctuary of stillness and connection. Signature rituals such as Unison Flow and Whispers of Harmony blend touch, aroma, and sound in perfect synchrony, while Eternal Embrace and Moonlit Renewal offer sensual, candlelit journeys of renewal and intimacy.
Dining at The Nautilus redefines freedom, with no menus or fixed hours. Each meal becomes a surprise — from champagne degustation menus at Zeytoun to barefoot dinners on Thyme Beach or secluded sandbank feasts beneath the brilliance of the Milky Way.
While couples embrace tranquillity, young guests are invited to explore Young Wonderers — a world of discovery, creativity, and island adventure designed to ignite imagination and joy.
At The Nautilus, Valentine’s is not bound by time or convention; it is a feeling — a celebration of love, freedom, and connection in all its forms.
