Make like the Little Mermaid at your Maldivian big day for a totally unforgettable wedding ceremony. We’re not talking red hair and fins here; how about kissing the groom in the briny deep with Diva Maldives’ Underwater Wedding Ceremony?

Or if braving the waves doesn’t float your boat, the Castaway Wedding will: hop on a traditional Dhoni vessel and sail over to a deserted islet, where you’ll say ‘I do’ on the beach in the glow of the Indian Ocean sunset.

If you’d rather keep your feet on the ground, go for the Island Dream Wedding. You’ll tie the knot on a secluded stretch of sand decked with tropical flowers, then after the ceremony laze in a hammock for two sipping coconut cocktails.

For something seriously exotic, it’s got to be the Maldivian Diva Wedding: think saying your vows in local language Dhivevi, wearing traditional Maldivian wedding dress, and sealing your ‘prayers to the ocean’ in a coconut shell that you give to the sea.

Whatever your wedding style, after the ceremony you and your groom will get a palm tree planted in your honour, watch custom Bodu Beru dancing and take a sunset cruise, before dinner under the stars and an indulgent aromatherapy bath. Then you’ll start your first day as Mr and Mrs with an in-villa breakfast and luxe ‘romantic discovery’ couple’s massage.

If you’ve already got your wedding planned and are after a honeymoon package, there’ll be champagne and a signature Adam & Eve massage waiting for you at Diva Maldives. You’ll also get a facial and floral bath spa treatment, plus dinner on the beach with your very own butler, and a sunset sail.
