8 The Maldives

-

WHY? With crystal-clear turquoise waters and super-soft white sandy beaches peppered with secluded resorts, these Indian Ocean islands certainly know how to dial up the romance. Loved-up couples can take sunset cruises, dine at pop-up restaurant­s just for two on a private sandbank, snorkel together with turtles and manta rays – or simply stay in and have their butler deliver room service.

STAY Huvafen Fushi or The Four Seasons

Adults-only (21 and over) Huvafen Fushi is a Maldives grand dame, with the first and only underwater spa. The Four Seasons has two resorts. If money’s no object and you really want to be alone, Four Seasons’ private island can only be booked by one group at a time.
