Best Wedding Locations in the Maldives: Top Islands & Resorts for a Dream Destination Wedding

Close your eyes for a second. Picture this: gentle waves lapping against your toes, a soft breeze tangling with your hair, and the person you love most standing beside you under a golden Maldivian sunset. Yep—this could be your wedding day.

The Maldives, with its overwater villas, candy-colored reefs, and endless horizon of turquoise blues, isn’t just for honeymoons. It’s an unforgettable stage for saying “I do.” Whether you’re eloping or bringing the whole crew, here are some of the best wedding locations in the Maldives that combine jaw-dropping beauty with serious romance.

Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort – For the Lovers of Laid-Back Luxury

You’re barefoot. The sand is warm. Your partner’s eyes glisten in the sunlight. Welcome to Anantara Dhigu—where wedding dreams are not just met, they’re exceeded. Say your vows under a traditional Maldivian faree tent or on a private island with just your closest humans and a champagne-sipping sea turtle or two nearby.

💡 Pro Tip: Ask for their “Gulhifushi Private Island” experience—it’s like having your own love-themed country for a day.

Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa – Elegance in Flip-Flops

Traditional, timeless, and tropical. At Four Seasons Kuda Huraa, you get both the heritage of Maldivian village life and the sophistication of a luxury resort. Want a sandbank wedding in the middle of the Indian Ocean? You got it. Want your grandmother to Zoom in from Ohio? They’ll set it up.

💡 Perfect For: Couples who want heartfelt traditions wrapped in five-star finesse.

Ithaa Undersea Restaurant – Marry Me, But Make It Underwater

Five meters under the sea, surrounded by tropical fish who are arguably overdressed for the occasion, you’ll find Ithaa. This isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a magical, glass-domed dreamworld at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island.

💡 Quirky Bonus: You’re technically already “below sea level” for better or worse. That’s commitment.

Velaa Private Island – Because Ordinary Just Isn’t Your Thing

Ever dreamed of having an island all to yourselves? Velaa Private Island offers complete exclusivity. We’re talking billionaire-style luxury where your wedding is less an event, more a multi-day island takeover with private chefs, speedboats, and possibly a fireworks show named after you.

💡 Big Budget Vibe: Best for couples who love big emotions—and even bigger experiences.

*LUX South Ari Atoll – Chill, Chic, and Whale Shark-Friendly**

Whale sharks might just crash your wedding. No biggie. LUX* South Ari Atoll offers year-round sightings and a setting that looks like it came straight out of a glossy magazine.

💡 Why We Love It: Beachfront villas, open-air cinema nights, and a lagoon so calm you’ll think time paused just for your vows.

SAii Lagoon Maldives – Young, Fun & Full of Heart

SAii Lagoon Maldives is perfect if you want your wedding playlist to feature Beyoncé next to Boduberu drums. Think stylish suites, creative cocktails, and epic sunsets that make everyone look like they’ve stepped into a Nicholas Sparks movie.

💡 Insider Tip: Go for their sandbank ceremony at golden hour—it’s magic with a side of mojito.

JA Manafaru – The Hideaway Haven

Set on the northernmost tip of the Maldives, JA Manafaru is so secluded, your only witness might be a curious manta ray. It’s refined, it’s romantic, and it’s ridiculously photogenic.

💡 Mood Check: Ideal for introverts who want the world to go away while they say yes.

Kurumba Maldives – The OG With Timeless Charm

Kurumba was the Maldives’ very first resort, and honestly? She still slays. With lush gardens, accessible luxury, and customizable ceremonies, it’s perfect for couples who want a mix of tradition, comfort, and value.

💡 Nice Touch: Their beach venues are just steps away from beachside dining—perfect for that barefoot dinner-dancing combo.

Landaa Giraavaru – Where Nature and Nuptials Collide

Within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Landaa Giraavaru balances sustainability with serenity. Think blue lagoons, turtle-filled reefs, and rituals rooted in Maldivian culture.

💡 Eco-Lovers Rejoice: They offer marine conservation activities for couples who want to give back while celebrating love.

BONUS: Quick Maldives Wedding Tips

💌 Legal or Symbolic? Most ceremonies in the Maldives are symbolic. Legal weddings require documentation and time. Many couples do the paperwork at home, then the “real” celebration in paradise.
☀️ When to Go? November to April = dry season. Ideal wedding weather.
🧳 What to Pack? Linen, SPF, waterproof mascara, and that heart you’re about to give away.
