Love is in the Air at Jumeirah Vittaveli

Published

on

The natural beauty of Maldives perfectly complements the romantic moments guests will be able to enjoy this Valentine’s Day at Jumeirah Vittaveli as couples will be able to spend this special day in the most romantic of settings.

If love is a journey, it definitely starts with a romantic dinner. For the beginning of the unforgettable voyage, Jumeirah Vittaveli provides choices to spoil all hearts. The resort’s signature ‘Dining by Design’ experience is the true marriage of fine dining and breath taking scenery. Whether guests wish to dine at the beach side, with an Aqua Dinner inside the pool, or even on a private yacht, Dining by Design caters to all preferences. Guests will be able to book these unique dinners and at the same time, select from a delicious menu created especially for the occasion.

“Jumeirah Vittaveli has just the right mix of ingredients to make this the perfect Valentine’s Day celebration. Our creative chefs provide heart melting gastronomical delights while you are sipping Champagne at the beach overlooking the perfect sunset of rich hues over the Indian Ocean with soft melodies in the background. This is where cupid himself would spend his Honeymoon” said Amit Majumder, General Manager, Jumeirah Vittaveli.

The Colour of love will be splashed upon all dining outlets for the night. Samsara, the main restaurant, will be hosting a special Valentine’s buffet alongside a curated menu of cocktails. A romantic set menu will be available for diners at the French specialty restaurant Fenesse, not only serving delicious culinary delights accompanied by Champagne, but also offering an a la carte menu created around the exclusive white truffle. Moreover, guests visiting Jumeirah Vittaveli in February can enjoy a special Wine Dinner by the winery of Domaine Hamelin, France. The winemaker himself, Mr Charles Hamelin, will be visiting the resort to host an exclusive dinner where guests may experience a set menu of six courses, each paired with a wine by Domaine Hamelin, and learn about the factors that influence each wine’s distinct qualities, typicity and expression.

The mood, however, isn’t set unless there is the right music to complete the setting. Alesya Ostrovskaya, a pianist and violinist from Belarus, brings her melodies to the tropics to give Valentine’s Day a soulful backdrop for an evening of pure romance. She will be performing throughout the month of February at Samsara and Fenesse.

The only thing that remains is a way for guests to cherish their romantic Jumeirah Vittaveli memories even after they leave. For this, Jumeirah Vittaveli brought caricature artist Somrak Puttharuksa, who popularly goes by the name of ‘Aon’ in his home city of Bangkok. He will move across the resort, turning vacationing lovebirds into pieces of art the couple can take home after their romantic holiday ends.

Jumeirah Vittaveli offers romantic escapes as well as a host of land- and water-based activities, including a PADI Dive base, water sports centre, four restaurants and two bars, and a Talise Spa with overwater and garden treatment rooms. With its focus on cultural connection and organic experiences in a luxurious setting, Jumeirah Vittaveli offers guests a true Maldivian island experience.

Sun, sand, searches: Maldives tops charts for 2025 newlyweds

Published

on

In an era where the quest for the perfect “romantic getaway” has surged by 83% in global Google searches year-on-year, the Maldives has been unequivocally named the top destination for newlyweds. According to new UK search and booking data from travel experts Travelbag, the island nation remains the most coveted long-haul honeymoon spot for 2025.

To determine where couples are heading to celebrate their nuptials, Travelbag’s specialists analyzed average UK Google search volumes alongside year-on-year booking trends from April 2024 to April 2025. The results highlight a clear winner, with the Maldives’ enduring popularity shining through.

Despite fierce competition from other idyllic locations, the Maldives holds the top rank with a staggering 19,200 average UK annual searches and a steady 5% year-on-year growth in bookings. This demonstrates the nation’s unshakable position as the quintessential honeymoon paradise in the minds of couples.

Here are the top long-haul honeymoon destinations according to Travelbag’s data:

  1. Maldives: 19,200 annual searches; 5% booking change
  2. Seychelles: 10,560 annual searches; 50% booking change
  3. Bali: 12,000 annual searches; 0% booking change
  4. Zanzibar: 8,640 annual searches; 86% booking change
  5. Costa Rica: 5,760 annual searches; 10% booking change
  6. St Lucia: 5,760 annual searches; -20% booking change
  7. Dubai: 3,840 annual searches; 30% booking change
  8. Antigua and Barbuda: 2,040 annual searches; 75% booking change
  9. Banff: 360 annual searches; 100% booking change
  10. Kyoto: 240 annual searches; 400% booking change

While destinations like Kyoto and Banff show remarkable growth in booking percentages, their search volumes indicate they remain niche choices compared to the mainstream appeal of the Maldives.

Danny Hugill, the designated Maldives destination expert at Travelbag, shared his advice for couples planning their romantic escape.

“The Maldives is the ultimate honeymoon destination, offering a mix of luxury, seclusion, and natural beauty,” he stated. “For a truly romantic and peaceful honeymoon, consider visiting between December and April, when there is plenty of sunshine and crystal-clear waters, perfect for relaxing on white-sand beaches and exploring vibrant coral reefs. At this time of year, temperatures range between 24°C and 31°C, so you’ll need to make sure you pack your sunscreen.”

Hugill also highlighted the diverse activities that await newlyweds: “Relaxation and romance take centre stage here. You can enjoy day-diving trips or head out on a glass-bottomed kayak together. But if you’re looking for something more exciting, there are plenty of watersports available on the islands, including water skiing and parasailing. You could even try a Maldivian cooking class to take some culinary skills back home with you.”

This latest data from Travelbag solidifies the Maldives’ esteemed status, proving that its unique blend of breathtaking scenery and luxurious intimacy continues to capture the hearts of couples worldwide, setting the standard for honeymoon destinations in 2025 and beyond.
