Published

on

Milaidhoo Island Maldives has introduced an exclusive babymoon package, allowing soon-to-be parents to enjoy a romantic adults-only break, complete with pregnancy spa treatments, pre-natal yoga, private movie screenings and gender reveal surprises.

No one deserves peace of mind more than expecting parents, and Milaidhoo is the ultimate haven to relax and prepare for a new arrival. With secluded private villas situated overwater or on the beach and the recently launched spectacular Ocean and Beach Residences, parents-to-be are spoilt for choice at this luxurious Maldivian hideaway.

Couples can visit the island’s Serenity Spa for bespoke treatments, including special pre-natal pampering for the mother-to-be, which can be enjoyed in a spacious overwater spa suite looking out to the calming blue hues of the Indian Ocean. Pre-natal yoga classes are also on offer, guided by Milaidhoo’s resident expert yogi.

For the ultimate movie night, parents-to-be will be treated to a private cinema screening under the stars complete with delicious homemade popcorn. Couples can choose to enjoy their outdoor cinema in the privacy of their villa or opt to watch their movie on a private stretch of white-sand beach.

Milaidhoo is perfect for those who love the underwater world and is particularly safe for those who are pregnant, thanks to their house reef. Couples can discover the spectacular Maldivian sea life and even opt to plant a coral frame for their new baby. The coral frames are cleverly designed to help coral re-grow and multiply, helping to rehabilitate the reef. Couples will receive regular updates on the growth once home.

The culinary experience is a highlight at Milaidhoo and promises to cater for any cravings; focusing on authentic, light food with clean flavours. Two bars and three world-class restaurants are on offer at the resort, including signature eatery Ba’theli, which is perched above the lagoon and shaped like a dhoni (traditional Maldivian sailing boat) and is the only Maldivian fine restaurant in the Maldives.

Expectant parents who wish to send a surprise message home can even opt for a customised gender-reveal cake which the expert Milaidhoo culinary team will deliver to their villa.

Maldivian-owned Milaidhoo Island Maldives opened in November 2016 and is proudly rooted in local island traditions.

Located in the Baa Atoll’s beautiful UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, each of Milaidhoo’ s 50 private villas have been designed by a Maldivian architect with thatched-roof, spacious interiors, generous private pools , and are serviced by dedicated Island Hosts.

The villas are just a short, barefoot stroll away to three world-class restaurants, non-motorised water sports, fitness centre, spa, yoga and magnificent snorkelling and diving.

A 35-minute seaplane flight from Maldives International Airport, Milaidhoo is a member of The Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

The Babymoon benefits at Milaidhoo are applicable for any expecting parents staying for a minimum of four nights. For more information and reservations, please visit the resort’s website.
