The Maldives 

The Island Paradise in The Middle of The Indian Ocean 

First of all, it’s important to understand that as a non-resident, you cannot legally be married in the Maldives. Fortunately, at Your Endless Travel, we have options available to help with your dream wedding, and specialists on hand who can help plan your big day. The options break down into two categories:

One option for couples who want to celebrate getting married on a Maldivian island is to do exactly that! Have a legal ceremony at home – in a registry office, or other wedding venue of your choosing – and then fly out to the Maldives, where many resorts offer “wedding packages” including everything you’d expect. We can help plan your dream white-sand beach wedding – contact one of our experienced consultants to find out more and arrange your dream trip!

Symbolic Wedding Ceremonies in the Maldives

A Legal Wedding Ceremony

For some couples, the moment that you are legally married is the main event and they understandably want that to take place in their dream destination. Fear not! We have solutions. Below we’ve outlined some of the reasons that people have the Maldives as their dream wedding destination, and corresponding destinations where we can offer legal weddings to tick the same boxes! You might think that the Maldives is a unique destination – and you’d be right – but many of the things you might picture as a Maldivian scene also exist in other destinations in the Indian Ocean or further afield. Our Maldives Wedding Specialists have helped many couples plan their dream wedding and can provide loads of advice and support.

All our wedding packages include the services of a specialist wedding coordinator to help ensure your big day goes to plan.

If you’re looking for Deserted White Sand Beaches – we can recommend the Seychelles. 2000km south-west of the Maldives, the Seychelles is another island nation in the vast Indian Ocean. Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the world for a wedding – let us help you plan your dream wedding here.

If you’re looking for Amazing Hotels with World-Class Spas and Fantastic Cuisine – consider Mauritius. With direct flights from the UK, minimal time difference and excellent standards of accommodation and service, Mauritius is one of our most popular destinations for weddings abroad. Our specialists have been helping couples get married in Mauritius for decades and we’d love to help plan your big day here.

Does your dream wedding include Overwater Accommodation? If so, we’d recommend looking to the Caribbean, where several luxury overwater bungalows or villas have become available over the last few years. In particular, St Lucia, Antigua, Belize, and Mexico all have great options where our wedding specialists can help plan your perfect destination wedding in paradise.

For a destination you can easily combine with the Maldives we’d advise consiering Sri Lanka. With stunning beaches, wonderful hotels, and fascinating history and culture, Sri Lanka makes a fantastic destination in its own right – but with the added advantage that it’s only a short flight – under two hours – to the Maldives. You could have a dream wedding in Sri Lanka (maybe following a short tour to discover the country for yourself) followed by a honeymoon in paradise!

Finally, if it’s a combination of all these elements, along with the added twist of exotic culture and breathtaking landscapes you’re seeking, why not consider the enchanting option of a wedding in Thailand? The process may be more complex than some of the other idyllic destinations we recommend, but rest assured, it is entirely feasible. With the right guidance and resources, we can assist you with all the intricate details, ensuring that your special day unfolds seamlessly amidst the stunning backdrops of this beautiful country.

*Please be aware that Maldivian weddings are only legally recognised for residents. For overseas visitors, your ceremony will be a celebration or blessing, and the legal marriage contract will be concluded elsewhere, either before or after your big day in the Maldives. Many couples marry in a small informal ceremony in a registry office or other wedding venue in their home country before celebrating the marriage in the Maldives. Please contact our wedding specialists for more information on the process.
