The Maldives really is as picturesque as all those photos make it out to be. But what do you do once you\u2019ve made it to paradise? Despite what you might think, there\u2019s more to a honeymoon in the Maldives than Pina Coladas and perusing your wedding photos on Instagram. I just got back from my\u00a0dream Maldives honeymoon, so here\u2019s my Listopedia on how to make the most of your honeymoon in paradise.<\/p>\n<h2>Make a Rockstar Entrance<\/h2>\n<p>Start off the honeymoon with a rock star entrance. International flights arrive into the capital of Male, and from there the fastest way to zip out to your island resort is by seaplane. Aside from an awesome birds eye view as you zip over the archipelago of islands, a seaplane ride is a seriously stylish way to arrive. You\u2019ll touch down and be whisked away to paradise. If you\u2019re staying at one of the islands closer to shore, a speedboat ride is very James Bond. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.nz\/Maldives-Hotels-PER-AQUUM-Huvafen-Fushi.h894854.Hotel-Information?brandcid=blog.listopedia.maldivesactivities_050716\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PER AQUUM Huvafen Fushi\u2019s<\/a> speedboats are available 24\/7 so you can skip the Male stopover and head straight out to the island. Coconut water, cold towels and in-boat wifi are just the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<h2>Stay Fit and Fab<\/h2>\n<p>Your health and wellness regime doesn\u2019t have to end just because the wedding is over. We\u2019re not talking about boot camp. Slow down and start the morning with a stretching class or a yoga session. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.nz\/Maldives-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information?brandcid=blog.listopedia.maldivesactivities_050716\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conrad Rangali<\/a> has yoga and meditation pavilions dotted around the resort looking straight out at the ocean. No need to visualise waves lapping on the shore! For a more active start to the day, the Run Rangali is a guided jog around the two islands \u2013\u00a0don\u2019t worry, they\u2019re not very big islands.
